Here's a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module?

Guess it's just missing a mounting case?

80x62 pixels, there are already other cheaper sensors in this range. FLIR is way more expensive but has much higher res.

Can you provide some links or something? I desire to own a thermal camera but they are just so expensive.

I don't need anything fancy but higher res would obviously be cooler.

Oh, that looks pretty dang good.

300 USD is probably a bit too much for me to spend on something that I have no real use for but its very neat.

Actually the flir lepton is not so high res either. Try digikey for higher res and higher priced modules.

I'm curious to see what the quality is like. If it's a similar case to the Enviro hat, and gives good reliable results for less, fantastic.
If it's like the other cheapie thermal sensors on alibaba, less so.

Btw, why is that? It's not just a CCD in infrared wavelength? Or is it the thermal decoupling part?

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No they are not CCD, they use microbolometers whatever those are. CCD IR sensors are for near infrared only, not the much longer thermal wavelengths.
