FLIR Edge - Wireless Bluetooth Thermal Imaging Camera for Smartphones, Compatible with All iOS and Android Devices: Use for Home Inspection, HVAC, Automotive, Machine Industries and More

I don’t use this item that frequently, but it seems to work great. Which should be a given for the price point.The app has been solid on iPhones.

I already owned a FLIR B20 and a FLIR One Pro LT. As a consulting broadcast engineer, I love both of those cameras, but I wanted something on the wireless, "untethered" side to use with my phone or tablet at transmitter, studio, and other sites. The fact that the One Edge Pro has both four times the IR pixels (IR resolution) and longer operating time per battery charge compared to my trusty FLIR One Pro LT made it sound like the perfect solution. FLIR scored another "win" in my book with this new camera.Out of the box, about 20 minutes of charging time before it was back to full charge since leaving the factory, and a quick read of a couple of sentences in the "Getting Started" booklet, and I quickly had it wirelessly connected to the Flir One app which was already installed in my phone. My FLIR One Android app had recently updated automatically, which added the a start screen app choice of connecting to a FLIR One Edge Pro or the One Pro or LT, so a single Android APP facilitates both of those cameras. Sweet.I'm very pleased with the resolution, and the alignment menu option provides for quick and easy alignment of the IR and Digital Camera images, which means the MSX feature (and other image viewing/processing features such as "thermal blending" and "Picture-In-Picture" tools found in the Flir Tools app will line up nicely as well, provided you spend a few seconds using that alignment feature before shooting your thermal image.I've ready many user/purchaser reviews of FLIR (and other brand/model) infrared imaging/thermography cameras where people complain about inaccuracies in the temperatures being sensed compared to actual measured temperatures, etc.. In my experience, that's usually due to lack of awareness of the properties and some nuances of thermography. For folks interested in getting the most temperature sensing accuracy possible, developing an understanding of things such as emissivity, reflectivity, reflected temperature, etc., along with having a few inexpensive accessories at hand (such as black, vinyl electrical tape, and a homemade Lambert radiator/reflector made of a piece of aluminum foil and a piece of cardboard) will go a long way to improving the results achieved and the ability to glean really useful data from the IR images -- not to mention overall satisfaction with the device, assuming they've acquired at least a reasonably decent quality IR camera.As a broadcast engineer, the quality of my work depends a lot on having the right tools. I can see already that my FLIR One Edge Pro is going to see a LOT of use while being relatively easy to use. Combined with FLIR's free Flir Tools software, the new FLIR One Edge PRO adds even more accurate, higher resolution preventive maintenance and troubleshooting power at my disposal, and does so at a price that's very reasonable for what you end up with in your hands.I strongly recommend this camera, unless your demands are such that you just have to spend a few $K on something really super high end. Even though I have an even higher resolution FLIR B20, I rarely pull that big Pelican case and camera out to use it, as the FLIR One PRO LT almost always handled the job. Now that I have the new FLIR One Edge Pro, I'll probably have to remind myself to occasionally pull the One Pro LT out and charge it for those times when I might want it to be at the ready as well.

Pricey but works great. Only issue is it can be glitchy with Connectivity. I loved the previous model for the iPhone but with Apple switching to usb c, it didn’t work anymore, even with an adapter.

The battery life is amazing compared to the Flir One. The Flir One is not compatible with the iPhone 15 and I need to upgrade phones soon. So, I’m forced to try the Edge. The device connects to the phone with the use of a Wi-Fi connection, which will fail and need to be reconnected at least 6-10 times in every home assessment I do. A traditional thermal eval will take me 10-15 mins and with the Edge, my time has over doubled. The Edge also lags very often and causes me to stand around staring at the phone waiting for the camera to catch up. I have been using the Flir One for over 5 years and I’ve never had any of these issues. I will likely be returning this and sticking with the phone that I have until the product connectivity and lag issues have been resolved. I may try to exchange the Edge and see if this happens the same with a different unit.Update:After using this for approximately 2 months, this product is completely deficient. On any given assessment of a house, I'm averaging 1 disconnect or non-connect per 60-90 seconds of use. I can't imagine a product that has such a significant failure rate and was still sent to market for consumer use.Additionally frustrating is the fact that Flir has chosen to force anyone upgrading to an iPhone 15 that has a USB C instead of the lightning charging port to have to convert to this product instead of simply updating the software for the existing USB C Flir ONE that already has the hardware design. I've used the Flir ONE with the lightning connection for over 5 years with no issues. Forcing us to utilize a subpar and unreliable Wifi connection between the Edge and the phone is lazy and shows a lack of care for the end user.In summary, I'll be either forced to stay with the iPhone 13 or find an alternate thermal camera to use as this one is very frustrating to use in the field.

Want to know if someone has been in the candy jar, or which glass of water is fresh, or exactly how hot your wife is? This may be the camera for you! Oh, and given a tempature delta, it can find hot water pipes, studs, damp spots, hot wires and junctions, missing insulation, air gaps around doors, and more. This thermal camera is a great tool, and toy.IOS / Android Support:It seems to pair slightly better on an IPhone than an Android. It can take a few restarts of the camera and app to link on Android, but at other times it works fine.[Update: This seems to work fine on Android after switching for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra]Size and Durability:It fits nicely into a jacket pocket or work bag, but may be a little bulky for Jeans. The finish is a polymer / rubber that is soft enough to absorb impacts but tough enough to stand up to use. It may still break if dropped. The design is very streamline and feels good to use.Image Quality:The camera has enough resolution to capture a whole electrical panel or 8' tall wall section. It will place focused tempature points (highest and lowest) on the image in real time. After taking a photo you can use the app to measure the temperature at any point later. This makes it easy enough to capture a wide area and grab the needed information after the fact.

Great visuals from camera, but theres serious latency when connected. about a 1-2 second delay. Would suggest just getting one that plugs in directly.
