    Do not let those other bad reviews scare you off. This device works well. Already has shown weak spots in my insulation. The thermal gradient is somewhat needing refined in the software when regarding extremely close temperatures, but that's software related and so far as the unit is able to display relative accurate thermal resolutions for me. Also, the tech support was brilliant in answering my questions regarding the unit.

    I have a nexus 5 and a nexus 9, both google reference platform... That camera doesn't come with a way to reverse it, and it faces... YOU. How stupid is that? I ordered a good quality 15cm micro-to-micro USB cable to allow it to be turned around and... it still doesn't work. The cable works all right, but the camera is not recognised when plugged in the phone via the extension cable.
    So, a very expensive and useless camera, unless you buy a new phone whose only criteria is to have the usb socket the other way around.

    As with other peoples review the micro-usb single facing thing can be an issue - however it is facing the back for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge so I do not have a gripe with that. While this may be cheap for a Thermal Camera, it is not cheap and does not live up to expectations. Temperature readouts are between 10-15% out (based on using a laser thermometer at same spot), picture quality is poor and the only difference you will see in pictures is between extreme temperature variations (i live in Dubai and Air-conditioning vents are obvious however a hot car engine will show up the same as surrounding desert despite 15 degree plus difference in temperature. All in all either fork out for a real thermal camera or download a free app from the play store that 'takes pictures in thermal mode'.

    Found an owl inside an owl box using this last night. ***It is illegal to disturb barn owls without a licence***
    It works very well. The only flaw is that I'm struggling to find a reliable connecting cable for my Android phone so that I can use it facing away from me and I can see the screen of the phone.

    Camera has a fixed micro USB. On my tablet it faced toward me. I bought a new smart phone with micro sim facing right way and it wouldn't work. So I bought a micro sim lead and Velcro to face camera correct way with my tablet. Although it works on tablet facing towards myself it doesnt work with micro sim extension lead I bought through Amazon. I have returned the camera out of sheer frustration. Seek recommend an extension cable as work around for camera facing wrong way which leaves the camera floppy unless you fix it in some way as with Velcro strips. By the by their recommendation doesn't work. My advice to Seek is rotatable micro sim attachment to camera.

    Kamera kam und ging auf Anhieb, Freude groß!
    Pferd auf 100 m von der Seite noch gut erkennbar, von vorne oder hinten nur als undefinierter Lichtfleck. Auf diese Distanz war von der Seite die Bewegung sogar noch nett anzuschauen. Nutrias, Schwäne und Enten sind dagegen selbst in der Nähe kaum zu erkennen - vermutlich weil Fell und Gefieder die Körperwärme stark abschirmen. Es fehlt mE. eine Kontrast-Einstellung für die schwarz/weiß-Modi. Ich finde, insgesamt für nur 2mm Linse vorne zufriedenstellend!

    Video-Modus funktioniert nicht, anscheinend wird die Kalibrierung mit aufgezeichnet. Also alle 2 Sekunden Bild weg, Kästchen-Muster, dann wieder zwei Sekunden Bild ... Im Beobachtungsmodus sieht man kontinuierlich, da wird die Kalibrierung anscheinend nicht angezeigt. Mit Video in der Qualität des Beobachtungsmodus wäre ich voll zufrieden.

    Letzte Woche kam ein Update der App und am Wochenende ein erneutes. Also registriert, ist jetzt Pficht. In der App muß man Registrier-Email und Password eingeben, jedesmal komplett neu, außerdem muß dazu eine Netzverbindung bestehen! Da die App auch häufig abstürzt, auch immer wieder neu eingeben! Es wird nichts gespeichert, also komplett eintippen! Also unbrauchbar für meine Anwendungen, da draußen gibt's oft kein Netz!

    So eine nachträgliche Einschränkung der Gebrauchsfähigkeit nach dem Kauf finde ich unverschämt! Unter diesen Bedingungen hätte ich das Gerät mit Sicherheit nicht gekauft!

    PS: Die App hat seit letzter Woche mehr als 23 MB Datenvolumen verbraucht ... Das braucht man nie im Leben nur für die paar Registrierungsüberprüfungen ... da hat jemand doch tatsächlich meine Bildchen mitgeguggt ...

    Update: Mit App 2.0.3 vom 07.09.2016 geht's jetzt auch ohne andauerndes Login. Hoffentlich haben sie die Programmierer gekickt, die mehrere Monate Unbrauchbarkeit verursacht haben!

    Hirsch auf ca. 100m als Lichtpunkt erkennbar, in der Kamera des Note 4 dagegen kaum noch zu erkennen - ok! Allerdings lebt das Gerät von großen Temperaturunterschieden zwischen Ziel und Umgebung. Weg, Büsche, Bäume etc. sind kaum zu unterscheiden - im Gegensatz zu Geräten mit größerer Optik und Auflösung! Nutrias, Gänse und Enten sind nah nur schwer erkennbar, weil deren Fell oder Gefieder wohl so gut isoliert. Allerdings sind Geräte mit wirkungsvollerer Optik entsprechend viel teurer. Nachtsichtgerät = nein; böser Mann oder Igel im Garten = vielleicht hilfreich.
