Although it is interesting to see it disassembled, it would've been useful to show a bit more of usage and the menus and such before doing so - see whether there are any calibration options, whether you can switch the video feed off to see the thermal better etc. From what you did show, the frame rate of the thermal image seems horrible, looks about 2fps and lags way behind the video. I did a DIY project with an MLX90640 (£30) and an ESP32 (£10), sending the data over WiFi to another ESP32 to process and display on an RGB LED net, and across that whole inefficient system I managed about 10fps. The MLX90640 is 32x24 = 768 pixels, so slightly less than the "1024 measuring points" claimed for this, but not much - resolution looks about the same. Of course they are processing video from the other camera as well, but they're obviously getting a much better frame rate and less lag from that so it's not the cause of the thermal lagging behind.
@@jammin023 это такая же картинка как ваш проект ! Сенсор 32х32, netd 254 mK, частота обновления 9hz! Но это имеет камеру 640х480 с неизвестной частотой примерно 20 кадров! На выходе вы можете получить или скриншот 320х240 или видео! О измерениях тем более точных измерениях температуры речь не идет ни в вашем проекте ни в это приборе!
nope, its a low res toy sensor by todays standards, but its also a very good guide for heat in things you dont want heat in, like say electrical wiring / fuse boards
@@lezbriddon простите но , это имеет NETD 254mk! Он не видит проводку его чувствительность не позволяет этого! Я смотрел плиту и проводку к ней! Оно хорошо видит включенный нагреватель 2.2 kw😂. Но вам для этого не нужен прибор, чтобы понять что это горячее😂 Это абсолютно бесполезно! Платы, предохранители это вообще фантастика для этого устройства! 😂 пальцем вы найдете проблему значительно быстрее чем этой вещью!😂
when I saw the first picture it took I thought yeah thats really low res. but its 100 beer tokens, so I think most people will be happy with this 'toy'
Good teardown. That said, if you could make that clear in the title so those of us wanting to know whether its worth buying or not can move on to videos based on performance rather than dissection I'd appreciate it. Cheers.
Despite the haters's comments, the camera is sufficient for indicative temperature measurements. The errors are within +/- 3-5 degrees Celsius, about as much as is written in the specifications. It has autodetection of hot/cold spots and does its job honorably. Those who want better precision and quality should get Flir.
Agreed, for the price it performs better than what I was expecting. This is not going to replace FLIR, but it more for hobbyist and DIY enthusiasts to mess around with thermal imaging. You want better, you gotta spend a LOT more.
@@proaudiorestore8926 a FLIR with same resolution is 3 times more expensive. For a better resolution FLIR you should pay maybe 20 times the price. Yes, indeed, for general purposes, IR related, this camera is enough.
@@Catrik no hints about teardown in video name or caption. half an hour wasted to see how screwdriver works. did we know what kind of CPU in it? no. did we know what type of thermal sensor in here? no. maybe info about camera module? no. do we learn how screwdriver works? yes
Не рекомендую брать этот прибор это имеет чувствительность 254 mk и это практически бесполезно! Я проверял на паяльнике т85 это могло показать только 98 градусов вместо 350! Мой hikmicro pocket 2 измеряет это точно и без проблем! Это может измерять что-то огромное как например электрическая плита с приемлемой точностью! Сенсор очень мал и имеет низкую чувствительность! Вернул это через пару часов! Этим можно только искать пожар или ядерный взрыв, и то и другое вы сможете найти без этой вещи!😂
When I bought it, I expected to see a camera equipped with 240x320 thermal imaging sensor. Instead, it was a regular camera image, with a very poor resolution, very poor thermal sensitivity, huge lag superimposed thermal image. Very disappointed, so I returned camera back to the store. Anyone who knows how a thermal camera looks like wouldn't be happy with this. Also, after watching this teardown, I'm convinced that this device is a China stile one. Why on earth would put someone a SD Card in it, but not making it accessible from outside?
there is no 240x320 thermal sensor inside... and there is no mention about this sensor in description of the product. 240x320 is resolution of LCD screen :D
It’s €100, what were you expecting?! I mean pretty much all the specs are right on the box! The closet competition is more than double and it plugs into an iPhone that would become obsolete in 4 years. The next handheld device is 3-4 times the amount. I bought one and it pretty much fits the budget / expectations.
you didn't really expect a 320x240 pixel thermal sensor in a camera that cheap, are you? I bought one last week - 80€ @ local store Lidl Germany. and it lives up to my expectations. I like, that you can gradually vari the thermal overlay from 100% heat map to 100% regular camera image. my use case is for hobbyist check on vintage electronic repairs (8bit computers and audio devices). so, the low frame rate of the thermal sensor is not a problem for me, I don't regret the purchase.

1024 measurment points = should be 32x32 sensur...
impresive and unexpected review!
will this be coming to uk lidl stores as i want one
nois teardown , i bought mine 24 hr ago and i wanted to see what's inside.Thanks.
What a waste of a video. Why not show how it works and what top do with it?
Its a teardown video for technical people. Its not a tutorial for beginners to explain what a thermal camera is.

@@DJIDAI26thank you. This was what I was wanting to know rather than a teardown.
si la ce o folosim ? :)) cand intru in lidl am deja febra :D
pe mine ma avantajeaza:evident ca rezolutia senzorului este mica(costa90 parai toata taradaica) vrei calitate,te duci la Flir.

realy? 240*320 sensor in 80 euro device??? 32*24 (NOT 320*240) sensor ONLY cost half of it...
