**Using the FLIR One Pro Camera App**

The main portion of the app is the camera section, which can be accessed by tapping on the camera icon. This will ask to connect your FLIR One Pro device. Assuming you've already charged it, simply turn it on and connect, and you'll be ready to go. The camera section really does work like a normal camera app with some obvious bonus features. Upon connection, you can see that different sections have been created for video, photo, and time-lapse modes.

One of the really nice things about the FLIR One Pro is that it features two cameras: one is just a normal imaging camera, and the other is the thermal camera. The thermal camera is what allows you to see different heat signatures of everything in your environment, which can be seen right off the bat by looking at your thermal image. For example, I'm holding a piece of ice here, and you can see the contrast between my warm hands (represented by warmer colors) and the cold piece of ice (represented by colder colors). You can even see that my fingertips are still cold from being in contact with the ice.

**Features of the FLIR One Pro Camera App**

The app features a visible camera, which allows you to switch between this and the thermal camera. Alternatively, you can use the MSX camera, which is basically a composite of both the visible and thermal cameras to provide a better and more discernible image. You also have the option to choose from different color palettes, which aren't just for looks but actually help you to better identify certain waveforms generated by the infrared energy emanating from all the objects in your environment. Additionally, there's a built-in spot meter in the app that allows you to pinpoint certain locations within the viewfinder and get a rough estimate of the temperature.

Some of the accuracy of this temperature measurement is going to be determined by how close or how far away you are from the objects. One of the most useful features of the FLIR One Pro camera app is its ability to help homeowners identify potential problems in their home, such as leaks or drafts. By using the thermal imaging capabilities of the device, you can quickly identify where insulation may be lacking in certain parts of the house, or if a particular outlet or appliance is running hot when it shouldn't be.

**Creative Uses for the FLIR One Pro**

The FLIR One Pro camera app isn't just limited to troubleshooting and identifying potential problems in your home. You can also use it for creative purposes, such as documenting your troubleshooting process or taking photos of objects and scenes that are visible only through thermal imaging. The device's ability to capture detailed thermal images makes it a useful tool for anyone looking to explore the world in a new way.

**Testing the FLIR One Pro Camera App**

I went ahead and tested out some different features of the FLIR One Pro camera app in my office, where I had a heater running. I could see the heat signature from the heater immediately, as well as the cooler items in the freezer. By examining the piping behind my pedestal sink, I was able to quickly identify which one was for hot water (the red or orange pipe) and which one was for cold water (the blue, purple pipe). I even took a picture of the piping to document its thermal signature.

**Limitations of the FLIR One Pro Camera App**

While the FLIR One Pro camera app is incredibly useful for its intended purpose, there are some limitations to consider. The main complaint from users is that the app has not been updated for newer iPhone models, such as the iPhone 10. Additionally, the refresh rate of the device's thermal camera is relatively low, at only 8.7 Hz. This can result in a "choppy" movement in the frame, although it's still mighty impressive for what it is.

**Conclusion**

The FLIR One Pro camera app is an incredibly useful tool for homeowners looking to keep tabs on the status of their home. While it may have some limitations, its ability to capture thermal images and help identify potential problems makes it a valuable asset. If you're in the market for a device like this, I would definitely recommend considering the FLIR One Pro.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe FLIR one Pro is a little device that can turn your iPhone into a thermal-imaging camera it can be super helpful for homeowners how's it going ladies and gentlemen boys and girls this is Jeff Benjamin with the nine-to-five Mac today we are taking a look at the FLIR one Pro this is a little device that attaches to your iPhone turning it into a thermal imaging camera now what's really cool is that it features a built in telescoping Lightning connection and this is handy because it means that you don't have to take your iPhone out of a case to make it work with the FLIR one Pro you'll also find a built-in USB type-c port and corresponding charging cable included in the package and of course there's the power button now to provide you with the sense of scale I've stacked up the FLIR one pro next to Apple's lightning dock and you can see it's very very tiny now as I mentioned earlier one of the really nice things about the FLIR one pro is that telescoping lightning connector that's really handy because a lot of us keep our iPhones and cases if you're doing work around the house it's probably a good idea to have your iPhone in a case so that telescoping lightning connection just raises up like that to facilitate an easy connection to an iPhone even in a case pretty cool and of course that lightning connection is reversible so you can turn it around to work in either direction and of course you can always turn your iPhone upside down to give the FLIR camera additional clearance and now it's just a matter of launching the FLIR one app which is available for free on the App Store at the top you have some of your photos you have some tips he also has some news information and other resources for FLIR one users but I particularly like this right here the little handy tips that give you ideas as to different ways you can use your FLIR one Pro it's really really cool all the ways a homeowner can use this device to maintain their home and to troubleshoot issues or to identify potential issues and that's all on top of some of the potential creative ways that you can use the FLIR one pro so the main portion of the app of course is going to be the camera section so we just tap on the camera here and now it's going to ask us to connect our FLIR one Pro I've already charged it so I just simply turn it on connected we'll be ready to go and you can see those different sections for video photo and time-lapse so it really does work like a normal camera app with some obvious bonus features so I have it connected there and you can see right off the bat you see your thermal image which is really cool now the really nice thing about the FLIR one pro is that it features two cameras one is just a normal imaging camera and the other

the contrast between my hands which are warm represented by warmer colors and that piece of ice which is cold represented by colder colors and you can see even my fingertips are still cold from that ice and it displays right there inside the viewfinder that's just of course the tip of the iceberg there are many more features found within this app which hasn't unfortunately been upgraded for the iPhone 10 yet but we'll save that for the complaint section you have the visible camera you could switch between that and the thermal camera or you can use the MSX camera which is basically a composite of both the visible in the thermal camera to provide you with a better and more discernable image you can also choose between different color palettes and these just aren't to look pretty

from the objects now moving on you can also use the FLIR one probe to take photos and images and document your troubleshooting you can also use it for creative purposes if you want to do that but I just find it extremely handy if you're a homeowner and you want to be able to troubleshoot or just identify potential problems within your house say for instance if there's a leak or if there is a draft coming through you can quickly identify where you may be lacking insulation in certain parts of the house or where a particular outlet maybe running hot or a particular appliance maybe running hot when it shouldn't be or maybe if you want to identify certain types of piping inside your house or just a variety of things you can look at the app and look at the tip section and really be able to see all the different ways that this device can be used so I went through and tested a whole bunch of things obviously this is just in my office and I have a heater running you can see the heat signature from the heater obviously is showing it's hot this is the freezer and you can see cooler items in the freezer and here you can see the piping behind my pedestal sink and you can quickly see which one is for hot water obviously the red or the orange one and which one is for cold water obviously the blue are the purple and I can take a picture of that to document now in this example I can see inside the wall and you can see that there is a closet behind this wall very easy to identify so those are just a few basic examples of how this can be used it's not a perfect device one of the main complaints is that the app is a little clunky obviously hasn't been updated for the iPhone 10 yet so that's disappointing in battery life this device only lasts for about an hour but to be honest that's pretty much all you're gonna need it for anyway between charges perhaps the biggest complaint maybe with the refresh rate of the device the camera which actually is very impressive for a thermal camera with a 160 by 120 resolution actually compares very very favorably when you compare more high-end thermal imaging devices but the the refresh rate is only eight point seven Hertz so you get that choppy movement in frame and I can see people complaining about that even though it's still mighty impressive for what it is the bottom line is if you're a homeowner and you want to lag up on being able to keep tabs on the status of your home then the FLIR one Pro is a huge help and I definitely can recommend it based on that let me know what you guys think down below in the comment
