The Topdon TC001 Max is a thermal imaging camera for your smartphone. You plug it into the USB-C port, or into a Lightning port using the supplied adapter, and view the thermal image in the TopInfrared app. It works with iOS, Android and Windows and draws its power from the connected device.
The sensor measures 256 × 192 pixels, with TISR image enhancement up to 512 × 384, an NETD of 40 mK and 25 frames per second. A 1.5 MP visual camera overlays outlines on the thermal image, so you can see what is where. It measures temperatures from −20 to 550 °C with an accuracy of ±2 °C or ±2%.
