Energy-Jason Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Heya all. I am on search for these. The ones I have found have been Flir, Axis and Motobix. They super expensive! :< . Hoping for a few cheaper options on the Market? Thanks J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrsa Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 @Energy take a look at the Hikvision cameras at http://www.sensorsecurity.co.za/product-category/surveillancevideo/cameras-thermal/. Hikvision makes great stuff and we have just bought a number of cameras for our village CCTV system. Not thermal imaging though however much we would like to. Just too pricey for a system funded by voluntary donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seant Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 You can get a plug in option for you phone to make it a FLIR camera. I think they were about R3k . I haven't tried one but apparently they work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hobson Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The CAT S60 phone has a built in FLIR camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 You could also add Fluke and SeeK thermal imagers to your search. The Seek range is more cost effective. I have 2 thermal imagers that i am thinking of selling if you are potentially interested in a second hand unit. Fluke Ti10: - R3000 - Sold Detector Resolution: 160 by 120, Thermal Sensitivity: 130 mK Fluke TiR32: - R27 000 Detector Resolution: 320 by 220, Thermal Sensitivity: 50 mK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Took some thermal pics, of our rainwater tanks, after a lovely downpour in Cape Town last night. Tank levels increased significantly. ibiza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 4 hours ago, Carl said: thermal pics I usually do this by hand. Run your hand up the side of the tank. Works better at night when the air temperature falls, it is easier to feel the cold air on top with the warm water below. During the day I find it is not as easy to feel the edge of the cold water with the hot air on top. Gabriël 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought 6 CAT S50 phones a few years ago and they all broke. My wife's fell off the bed and the screen shattered in a thousand pieces. 2 of them have a broken SIM card slot and the other's also broke their screens. When I contacted support they gave me nothing. Nada. Buggeroll support. Yet my Sony, Huawei and Samsung endure a lot of punishment on a regular basis and don't break like this.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I might get one and use it to check for hot spots on DBs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Dahua make nice thermal cameras as well as a hybrid which combines a starlight image with the thermal image and makes it easier for unskilled guards to interpret the scene. I made my first CCTV thermal camera up using the Flir unit from a Mercedes and a video server. It's been in a hidden location for a few years now and detects humans at up to 300 meters if used properly. I also have some flir cameras and we clearly pick up humans at 500 meters. I have three types in service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hobson Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Are there thermal cameras suitable for mounting on drones? If so I can think of a myriad of agricultural applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip especially since you now have a BMV and know what your real SOC is. I presume you are using the ICC's back to grid function.
