Finding and assessing these problems requires a thermal imager to identify hot and cold spots.Seek Thermal Compactthermalimagingcamerasenablecontractorstoconductbuildingandhomeinspectionsquicklyandaccurately,withouttheneedtocrawlthroughatticsandcrawlspacesorpunchholesinwallstofindairleaks,thermalbypasses,andinsulationgaps.

Quick to connect and detect, the smartphone attachment is designed to work with both iPhone and Android topmodels. This device is portable and easy to pack away for any occasion. It combines powerful thermal insight with a206x156 sensor, a 36-degree wide field of view, and runs off the low energy from your smartphone.

Safety&Security

Keep an eye on things – even things your eyes can’t see. A visual assessment using Seek Thermal Imaging Cameras hasunique benefits especially at night and over long distances. Thermal imaging detects elevated temperatures, which are
