FLIR TG165-X Thermal Imaging Camera with Bullseye Laser: Commercial Grade Infrared Camera for Building Inspection, HVAC and Electrical

I'm no expert on using and interpreting the thermal images. Not even close. This unit did a good job of tracking down cold spots and indicating warm spots. For example, I had my electric throw on and sitting on the sofa, and it showed the framework of the wiring and that the wires were all working. It's easy to find hot and cold water pipes behind walls. Active electric wires too. A water leak would probably show up as a cold spot behind the wall or above the ceiling. I could see the cold attic joists through the ceiling. We had some work done but hadn't yet replaced the insulation, and you could see it through the drywall. That was pretty impressive to me. The downside is that it added to my list of things to do. I imagine if you had mice or chipmunks or worse, it would pick those up too. I don't think I'd want to go looking for them, however. :-) I picked up a possum outside on a cold night. We know the possum is around, but we didn't know where or if it was close, and it wasn't far away. We just leave it be, but it's cool to be able to "see" critters in the dark. Again, not an expert. I just wanted to find sources of cold air intrusion in the winter and this pointed me in the right direction. I was able to remediate some of the problems and make it more comfortable. It charged up quickly and it was easy to read the images. Get the initial reading of a spot, then let it focus on that spot for a minute to see what, if anything, changes. I used it for a while and didn't need to recharge the battery. I had no problems with the images stuttering or loading slowly. I didn't take too many permanent images and try to save them. It seems to do the job, it's uncomplicated, but I'm also not the person who will be using it hard. It did what it promised to do for this amateur.

Great product I use it alot to make sure I stay far away from ceiling cable heating wires when I repair plastered ceilings .

The item appears to be new, I can't see any signs of use but it came packaged a little odd. The plastic bag that is supposed to be around the item was fold up under it and the accessories were not in the accessory section of the box, they were in good shape, still wrapped, but loose in the package. That all said, this temp camera is a a lot of fun and works great. Lots of options for your color pallette and you can calibrate the laser so it lines up exact with the screen's cross hairs. I am glad I went with the brand name.

FLiR has always been my go to for home inspections. The reads are relatively accurate and reliable. It is easy to set up and get started out of the box. The battery life is pretty good given what it does. My only gripe would be that like others have said every so often it likes to freeze up. If you do run into this issue just hold the up key and middle key to hold and reset.

This is by far the best hand held thermal image I have used for under $400. Flir has always been top notch in my opinion. Stop wasting your money on those non brand name knock offs.

Nice

UPDATED 05/17/2023 I've used this for a year now and can safely/confidently talk about the pros/cons. Pros: Build quality is good with the exception of every button vital to it's use.... battery life seems more than adequate, the resolution is "good enough". Cons: Startup time is hilariously long. The CORE BUTTONS that operate this thing are mushy and don't work well. When you press and hold the middle button to power cycle the device, sometimes it just registers as holding the upper or lower button, which offsets the thermal vs visual image..... Refresh rate is abysmal. The fact that you cannot turn off the combined visual/IR view makes this almost unusable. In fact, it's kinda mind blowing that they can sell it as-is. It's also a pain in the rear to offload images from the device. Speaking of, you CANNOT TAKE VIDEO with this device.... Constantly needs recalibrating as the IR image doesn't match the visual image, and shows a double-image where the heat data is offset from visuals. Cannot use in the dark as the main camera doesn't work and you can't use "IR - only". I got this at a discount where it was almost the same price as one of the smartphone attachment models. I STRONGLY suggest you pass on this device and go with one of the smartphone models. There are more features, presumably actual firmware updates, and more. It's the same resolution as many of those models and they're cheaper. I hardcore regret this purchase. Go with the Klein thermal imager or Seek or even FLIR's own mobile device before you ever touch this piece of junk.

The camera was able to show me all the areas around my house that needed attention. It was actually pretty shocking to see all the areas of my home in the middle of the winter that were not sealed very well. You can see all of the studying headers and you can also see extreme Temperature variations around receptacles and light switches, but I live in an old home. i’d buy this again.

Equipo demasiado bueno, me lo habían recomendado y en efecto, es lo que me dijeron, es muy versátil y se puede usar en muchas áreas que a veces no las pensamos. Recomendado ampliamente al 1000%. 👍🏻👏🏻

Nice little unit works well. I have not had time to dig into all the features but it works great.

レーザーポインターが中心から少しずれているのが使い勝手が悪い その他は満足している

Detecta perfectamente el calor y las conducciones de calefacción. Es para lo que la he usado. Muy bien con el laser que lleva pa la ubicación. No le doy el cinco porque todavía no la he usado un tiempo prolongado
