FLIR E5-XT (Non-Wifi) - High Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera. Commercial Grade Infrared Cameara for Home Inspection, HVAC and Industrial Uses

Modified into an E4+ thanks to eevblog! 320x240 resolution, increased sensitivity and many more menu features! I have found on my Samsung Galaxy Note combined with a UVC recording app that you can film thermal videos with this camera! The stock 80x60 resolution is *just* enough to use for leak detection, missing insulation etc. For everything else though 320x240 is a HUGE improvement, so either mod your E4 into an E4+ (basically an EIGHTH) or purchase an E8! Also after modding the temperature accuracy seems to be just as good as it's pre modded state.

So to answer all your questions...1. Amazons stock is coming shipped with v3.13 firmware on 2.0L hardware.2. Yes, this E4 model can certainly be used for what you are thinking of buying it for.3. There is a bit of a learning curve if you’ve never “worked with” one of these before, but definitely worth it ;). You won’t be disappointed with the performance of this camera.

Excelente Articulo

This unit only comes with instructions how to use the buttons. I emailed the vendor for addition instructions and they never got back to me

As expected. Fast shipping. Package was in great shape. Camera works amazing.

Take a look at the full product range at FLIR and you'll soon realize these go up to the price of a car and $1000 is comparatively entry level. The E4 has a 320x240 pickup which has been software-crippled to generate images which look clear in motion or with MSX visible light overlay enhancement but then weirdly aliased on close-up. This can be hacked to equal E8 resolution, but I'd rather be a good boy. The TG series does provide 320x240 images and SD slot for cheaper, but the images are not as scientifically accurate and the TG is not water resistant. In other words, the E4 is the lowest tier of the true pro cameras. Charging and image transfer is via micro-USB only which feels a bit cheezy and there are reports that deleting images from the directory with a computer may corrupt the camera. Limited memory and deleting in-camera is a throwback to the early 2000s. I have had no luck getting FLIR Tools app to connect via any wifi configuration and camera locked up multiple times even just attempting to log in. Stepping up to the Exx series, I could get [a 640x480 pickup crippled to] 320x240, USB C charging, SD slot, better lens and video output (via USB C adaptor) for an entry price of $5000. I feel like this latter pricepoint is where FLIR really wants us to start. The E4 can in fact be used as a USB webcam, so live video recordings can be made if you are willing to keep it tethered to a laptop. Not sure if I want to hack one camera and risk it or jump up to the Exx class for the pro "pro" features.

Awesome one of the best thermal imaging cameras on the market

The price is same as the wifi model. Low-quality camera. Very low-quality camera to use a professional service provider. I wish I spent $2k more and get the better one.
