Review: Good for the price BUT with issues! - It is important to note that the build quality of the product is good, seller ships fast and for it comes with all necessary accessories. Pros: * Cheaper than others, especially for the price range (considering the discount). * Better than Flir in almost every situation in that price range and you don't need the visible light camera. * Easy to use software, gets the job done. * Very good build quality. Cons: * Support seems to be nonexistent. I submitted a ticket more than a week ago, followed up and still don't have any answer. So if you are buying this Chinese product with the hope that the US office will be helpful when you need support, you'll be wrong. * There is a visible Vignette around the corners of the image that usually results in a slightly higher temperature readings, especially when there is small variance in the temperatures in the picture. See attached videos and photos. This results in Hot reading to constantly stay top-right (or other corners) when assessing walls. I have to draw a square in the middle to keep the readings accurate. And YES, I've tried to clean the lens with the provided cloth. I've seen this in other reviews uploaded in desertcart. * Software is quirky sometimes. Doesn't remember settings and flips to default orientation on it's own. Sometimes I need to switch between High-Temperature readings and back to Normal-Temperature to fix image color distortions. * Still on mobile app, after the latest update, the gallery in the app doesn't work at all. UPDATE: Finally I was able to connect with support. They were very helpful and offered several options to resolve the issue. Also there was a recent app update for Android that fixed a few of the quirks. I still see a room for improvement but it is much better. Haven't had issues with crashing. I am pretty happy with the quality of the camera and what it offers compared to similar class products. Great value if you are looking for thermal imaging.
Review: High quality, easy to use, versatile, and budget friendly - Arrived in less than 24hrs, new in cellophane wrapped box, came in a nice zippered pouch, looked over the limited instruction sheet but no need because it's plug and play. Simply download the free top don app from play store and plug it in the USB charging port of your phone and it automatically works. The app/camera controls are simple and easy to make whatever adjustments you want. I was impressed with the picture quality and clarity. I tried it out after coming in from the cold outside and I could easily see my cold fingers/toes show up as blue/black as compared to the rest of my body which was yellow/Orange. I researched on YouTube before buying, and I was originally going to buy the Ames thermal camera from Harbor freight, it is 220.00, but I had a 25% off coupon. I'm glad I bought this Topdon instead, the quality and versatility are so much better. so for just a few dollars more you get a compact high quality thermal camera at a budget price that There are thousands of uses for. You can easily take photos and videos of what you are looking at. And best of all there are no batteries or SD card to buy or format. Just plug it into your phone or tablet and your good to go with a much larger screen to view it on. I have a simple moto G tracphone and had no issues, just plug and play. One thing I will be using it for is ghost hunting as I believe it will be very useful and certainly budget friendly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus.
*by J***Y on December 22, 2023*

The app for Android was very easy to find in the Google app store, just search for TC0001 to find it. The first time I plugged the IR camera into my phone, it asked if I wanted to auto launch the app Everytime I connect the camera, I selected yes so I don't even need to pin the app to my homepage, just plug the camera in and it opens the app. The app is also pretty easy to use and figure out the options on it. It can display in both ⁰C or ⁰F by changing settings in the app. The camera does work very well. I was even able to see the warm spot in the wall behind the hot water pipe for my water heater. And see how hot a battery charger was getting. The response rate on the camera is also impressive as well as the resolution of the pictures. So far I have only used it from about 18 inches away to over 20 feet away and it works great. I have not yet tested it for very close up pics, like on a circuit board. I also like that it comes with a USB cable that is USB C male on one end and USB C female on the other, with an adapter to USB A male so you can use a single cable to connect the camera to a phone or a PC. You could plug the camera directly into you phone, assuming you either don't have a case on your phone, or a very thin case. The only down side to the cable it comes with is it is a bit too long if you just need to use it to connect to your phone so you don't have to remove any case you might have, which makes it a little hard to hold both your phone and the camera in one hand. Although I did also buy a short 5 inch just USB C male to female cable that also works with the camera and makes it easy to use one handed. Overall I am impressed with it and it was worth the money.
