TOPDON TC002C Thermal Camera, 512 x 384 Super Resolution, 256 x 192 IR Resolution, Thermal Imager for iPhone 17/16/15 Series & iPads with Type-C Port, -4°F~1022°F Temp Range, Upgraded Version of TC002

Solid feeling device. Nice case with 2 cables, key one for me, lightning to usb-c. No problems connecting via cable to an iPhone 14. App functions well and fairly easy to out the camera to work without really having to read the manual. But I did, calibrated everything and verified the temperature readings with a kitchen thermometer in hot water. Complaints of the unit “clicking” well, do some homework. That’s by design to stay calibrated. It’s a sub $300 thermal camera that records accurate pictures and video to your phone or device. If you want professional grade FLIR, chuck another zero on the cost. Solid device, good software. Testing some things for work….dell server, touch screen PC, AXIS cameras, switch and wireless AP

I was on the fence for years about buying a thermal camera, until our energy bill spiked drastically last month. Looked for a USB-C device that works with iPhone 15, and found this Topdon one as the only that doesn’t require a lightning-to-USB-C adapter. Chose a dongle instead of a standalone device for simplicity and to keep the price low. Resolution and picture taking was also key. Put up attic stairs insulation (unfortunately) before buying the TC002C, but was surprised at heat leaking around the edges (color photo). Put HVAC duct tape around the edges and immediately saw a dip of 2 degrees, despite it being later in the day and hotter outside. The only way to see that effectiveness was with the thermal camera; even my laser thermometer has too wide of a spot to be that pinpointed. Plus, seeing all of the temp ranges at once is fantastic. The most important advice I have is to learn the app. Changing the filter colors is situational, but I prefer the grayscale because it’s not as busy. Using the spotting options is extremely important; you can choose to drag line, grid, go full frame, or manually place dots—using them appropriately makes comparing location temps so easy. And you can change the font color on the settings page, which helps a ton. Turn on the automatically connect camera and save settings in the Learn More (why??) page. Overall, I absolutely love this device because it just works. And the app is way more useful than any of the YouTube reviews of the TC002 showed.

Using with an older iphone SE with the flash cable receptacle. Easy ap download and opening, plugged in and worked without issue. Using for thermal image of home interior to isolate cold spots and looking for hot spots on vintage audio components. Easy use, good image, just takes a minute to acclimate to shadow and perspective for really close use on the circuit boards. Occasionally there is a bit of a lag of image using in real close proximity, but it is infrequent. Well pleased with performance, ease of operation and contrast resolution. I'd buy it again.

I mainly use this gadget for my graphic installations. It connects right to my phone, letting me scan and make sure my vinyl’s getting hot enough during post-heating. Works great for that purpose! I even tested it out one night in a cemetery full darkness and something that looked like an opossum popped up on the scan. Scared the life outta me, but hey, it proved the thing works! I’m giving it four stars because the image feed can lag now and then; I just wish it responded a bit quicker. But overall, it’s a solid little tool and definitely worth the money.

This is a pretty nice little tool for the iPhone users. I have been using iPhone for years, this is perfect for me. I keep this device around the house, for any needs of checking temperatures. Its easy to setup the 1st time. Just download the app, and plug in the thermal imager, it the app will auto detect that the device is connected, and prompt you to open the app. Once the app opens, it will take a few seconds to calibrate, then its ready to go. There are a few different features, there is the traditional thermal detection function. Show the highest, and lowest temp, and the spot you are pointing to. There is also a feature you can draw a rectangular shape, and it will only detect the highest and lowest in the box you have draw. There is also a liner feature, only detect the high and low on that line you draw. This is very useful, and small enough to keep it in my pocket. The accuracy is around 3 to 5 degrees differences. I have try to test it with my handheld thermal meter. But as you are using it for a few mins, the temperature gets more accurate over time, I think its because of the on going calibration. there is also a time lapse feature, I can set it to track the high and low temperatures over a period of time. This is very useful, I can see how much the temperature have increased or decreased over how long. So far I really like this little imager. But do keep in mind, this only works with the iPhone, will not work android phones.

It works every time! Simple and inexpensive! I use it in my inspections all the time

First of all, I've been waiting far too long to get a thermal imager. This one offers a usb c connection to the newer iPhones (15 and up) meaning it attaches as an extension of the phone. It also includes a cable if you prefer using it a little further away. Reason I like these units rather than the standalone is: - you don't need to keep another thing charged - the "software" is as easily updated as the App Store app is updated and tends to be much much better So far, I have easily detected the following: 1. the healing of a swollen foot (pictured), 2. where the heck the leak was below the patio (pictured) 3. why the tv room was so hot (pictured) 4. where the cat was (pictured) 5. where the "heat leaks" were from the attic (not pictured) For that alone, this easily saves much more than the list price, although when I purchased it was significantly discounted from list. Also included is a very handy and small soft carry box which protects the unit and houses the extension cables. Now for the caveats: 1. The App. While the app is overall excellent, it is not up to par with top notch apps: the interface is a little clunky and the pictured "freezes" occasionally for a second or two while it recalibrates. This happens more when you first start using the unit but it happens pretty regularly as the calibration happens. I do hope they optimize that and make it "freeze free" 2. The temperature read drifts by a few degrees so that the same object reads a different value. My guess is this is why the unit needs to recalibrate every so often.

Good product, but error in communication. It works as intended with my iPhone 15pro Max. However it is designed for the lighting port. HOWEVER, it DOES include in the case a short lighting to USB-C and I think a lighting micro USB cable for Android phones. After you download their app, you can set temperature to C and F temperature ranges with upper and lower ranges. Functionality shows temperature changes very close to real time. Like when you have it look at you when you exhale you see that temperature change. Good clarity of images not grainy or pixelated like I thought it would be so it works as expected. I would recommend this unit.

Got this for £11 from Amazon warehouse. Thought it was a joke but it works perfect and is brand new boxed. Weird. But excellent value. £220 off RRP.

I wasn’t sure about a phone based thermal camera as I do home inspections and the other inspectors are all using hand held thermal imagers but this camera rivals anything that the others can do. Clear pictures of in floor heating systems, base board heaters, ovens, electrical panels, etc.

サーモセンサーは漏水検査で活用させていただきました。結構使えます。

Very nice product. Easy to use and it connects fast as soon as you insert it into the phone. High resolution and fast response time. It is highly recommended.

面積はほぼ名刺サイズなので、少し厚めの金属製の名刺入れ(100均)に入れてます。 仕事柄、色々な工具を持ち運びますが十分な性能。type-cなので手持ちの携帯に付けられるし、C3よりで画像共有も簡易だし、安価なのがいい。
