FLIR ONE iOS | Thermal Imaging Camera for iOS, 80 x 60 Thermal Resolution (Lightning Connector)
Thermal imaging is one of the most powerful technologies ever developed to enhance human vision beyond what we see with our naked eyes. Human vision is limited to a very narrow ‘visible’ band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared radiation carries radiant heat and with its longer wavelength, cannot be seen by the human eye. Almost everything around us gives off or reflects heat, which can be ‘seen’ by thermal imaging.
FLIR ONE
Turning your smartphone into a brilliant phone.
The all-new third generation FLIR ONE continues to hone the formula of the ultra-portable thermal camera. Thinner, lighter and tougher than ever, the FLIR ONE is here to outshine its older generation models.
With a sturdy new design, we’ve taken everything that made the previous models of the FLIR ONE so successful and have added in a few tweaks to this third generation model.
Our latest model is perfect for those who are new to thermal superpowers. Explore the neighborhood, solve problems around the house, and see the world from a new perspective, the FLIR ONE will undoubtedly become a basic necessity. With the companion app available, viewing real-time heat maps of your surroundings on your phone has never been easier.
New! FLIR ONE App
The new and improved app lets you access tips and tricks to continually see new ways to use thermal imaging. Stay connected to the user community and easily share your images on social media. See around corners and awkward spaced by connecting to your Apple Watch or Android smartwatch.

MSX TechnologyLike previous FLIR ONE models, the third generation includes both a visible and thermal camera. The magic happens through FLIR’s patented, multispectral dynamic imaging, or MSX technology, which embosses a visible image over a thermal. The end-result is a better, crisper image, which helps improve overall quality and readability when you need it most. With the FLIR ONE, you won’t need to guess, you’ll just know. | Thermal SuperpowersEven in complete darkness, users can visualise small temperature differences through the lens of the FLIR ONE. Whether you’re trying to determine why your room is so cold, why your wall is starting to bubble and turn awful new colours, or just trying to find where your dog is hiding in the backyard, the FLIR ONE will help you see the formerly unseen. | OneFit Adjustable ConnectorAnother advancement we’ve developed with the third generation FLIR ONE is our new OneFit adjustable height-connector. The OneFit allows you to adjust the length of the FLIR ONE connector so it can attach over most phone cases, eliminating the hassle of removing your case prior to use. The new FLIR ONE also features a USB-C version for Android, so whether you want to take a picture of an object or take a thermal selfie (a ‘thermie’), Android users can flip the camera in whichever direction they want. |

Wonderful tool for industrial/engineering use and also for paranormal investigations. Very easy to use, the iOS app is amazingly simple and works great, saving photos and videos is (literally) a snap.
Battery life is a bit short though. I wish they had put in a better Li-Ion pack. It runs dry fairly quickly.
Hands down definitely worth it. I Recommend to anyone. Camera arrived on time and product is everything you ask for.
Se pensate di voler acquistare una termocamera per utilizzo professionale ma non volete diventare dei tecnici certificatori questa fa per voi. Non un giocattolo e fa bene il suo lavoro. Comoda da portare sempre con se pronta per l’uso durante un sopralluogo o rilievo.
It take time and/or many tries to connect to iPhone. But when it does, it do the job! Perfect for home use.
Got new windows in my house so bought this to check the work of the installer. The project manager was impressed with it when I showed him thermal pics of the windows and found cold spots.
Easy to use and saves pictures in your normal phone picture folder.
Very easy to hook up. Works well. Only bad thing is this feels like i am going to drop it at any time. A bit awkward at the bottom but not much could be done about that. Put a larger rubber band on to make sure it didnt drop off, youll want to protect from risky shots.
La rsolution thermique 160 X 120 est trs correct pour le prix que l’on a pu l’avoir 317,61
Il suffit de tlcharger l’application FLIR One (gratuit) sur l’app store. On lance l’application, on plug la camra sur l’iphone et on dmarre voila elle est oprationnelle !
Cot autonomie oui la batterie s’puise vite compter 1h max.
On vous mis quelques photos du rendu.
J’espre que notre retour d’achat vous sera utile.
My steps are heat traced and I require a railing. Pinpointed exactly where I could drill into the slab!
I was able to find the rushing cold air in the wall found a water leak in the ceiling and spores the radiant floor lines.
I bought this model to check for heat loss on my house (which is over 100 years old and mostly all original). Works great for that purpose. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the pro model and isn’t as clear of a picture, but you pay for what you get. It’s perfect for my needs and arrived exactly on time. Even came with its own hard case. I’m pretty impressed with it, all in all, and would definitely recommend this model for basic functionality.
Does what it says on the box! Awesome for night surveillance.
Very easy to use. I took photos inside and outside my house to help prioritize insulation and window replacement projects. It has been very helpful.
Great camera at a reasonable price. Very easy to install and operate. Excellent tool for any inspector, Realtor or anyone interested in getting deeper in to your project.
Biggest con: Battery life leaves a lot to be desired, but at least doesn’t drain the phone.
Despite this.. the concern I still have, which didn’t occur to me til it arrived, is it needs FLIR’s Android app to work. Without that, it’s a 300 paperweight. I wish I’d bought something with some standalone firmware, that I can count on to work even if the App is canned.
A questo prezzo non si pu chiedere di meglio, una marca professionale e difatti nel suo piccolo fa bene il suo lavoro
2nd Edit: Flir technical support came back to me again and fixed the issue, not sure why the first chap couldn’t do the same.
Absolutely love what this can do, works mostly well on my Pixel 4a, I can see the hot water pipes in my walls and under my floorboards! Will try with wildlife at some point.
BUT the FLIR One has 2 cameras, one thermal and one digital, allowing it to show a real time outline of what you are looking at. Unfortunately these are not aligned well, they are about a foot out at a distance of 3 metres. I rang Teledyne, they are very helpful but agreed that this needs returning as faulty. The apps are a little flakey too, probably work better if you buy the PRO version.
BUT because I love this so much I have ordered a replacement, fingers crossed it will be better aligned. will update my feedback at a later date when the replacement arrives.
Trs bon outil, dcouvert l’origine pour valuer les pertes de chaleur de mon domicile et avec le temps il a servi dtecter une fuite d’eau, les barres de mtal derrire une cloison de BA13, plus on l’utilise plus on l’apprcie.
Better than I expected from some of thei negative reviews. The temperature accurate is about +/- 1 degree from the measurement of the laser thermostat. Visible hot and cold waterline behide drywalls.
Idal pour chercher les zone de pertes thermique dans une maison. L’image n’est pas ultra net et n’est pas hyper fluide mais a fait le taf. Dure d’utilisation un peu moins d’une heure.
Permet aussi de trouver son animal de compagnie dans le noir dehors.
The camera worked well with my I-phone and I-Pad, showing where more or better insulation was required and later to see if it had made an improvement.
It can also be used to check for poor connections on home electrical circuits and consumer units etc.
I got this for one job. It helped ease my mind on the motor heating concern. Since then, I’ve used it on several jobs and it has been an awesome tool. I travel to different companies to do maintenance on our company’s equipment. Nearly every maintenance manager that sees the results, have bought one for themselves – or their team. Think about 15 or so have been purchased by people I’ve shared this with, because the uses are endless for troubleshooting.
Good product and I’m happy we have it.
it’s a little grany but considering the price it does as expected, it can definitely be used to determine if there is cold air coming in from outside, negatives are you’re phone can’t be in a thick case cause the tab won’t be able to reach the charger port it goes into, in all I’d say it’s worth i
If the pictures are true, I’m at a total loss of where to start. Need some pro help I think.
Camera was easy to set up and use. Did not have to take case off. When I took pictures indoors could clearly see cold spots. Definitely starting with roof and working my way down. Not used the tools yet and want to see pics on PC but good camera.
I don’t need high resolution accuracy I just need to detect rodents
Does not wort with larger cases like otter box, must remove phone to use.
The Lighting port is very weak and flimsy and will break if your not careful
This is a great tool for my RV inspection business. The only criticism I have is that the connection between the camera and the iPhone is a bit flimsy and you have to be careful to make sure it stays fully inserted. Otherwise a good buy
As a handy person and electronics enthusiast I’m still very happy to have this camera. I can see things I could not otherwise see and that expands my abilities for maintenance, repairs, and other efforts. Plus the curiosity of seeing that a cold-blooded frog doesn’t show up and other natural science observations are great.
I have used this for:
1. Indoor ceiling to identify poor insulation locations
2. Identify within seconds if an air conditioner is working
3. See the temperature gradient in compost bin
4. See that a frog is in fact cold-blooded
5. Check the circuit breaker panel in the house
6. Look at warm footprints on the carpet
7. Identify wet spots, water evaporates in the 40s
8. Identify lost energy in ceiling light fixtures, wiring, plug adapters, paper shredders on standpipe, audio and video equipment on standby, because if it’s turned off and it shows as warm, it is consuming electricity
9. Inspect heating on electrical circuits for hobbies
[Above added 8/20/2022]
I very much appreciate that the Flir ONE properly orients the app when the phone is held upside down. It is more comfortable to hold the phone upside down.
The occasional auto calibration is a bother, but mostly would be a sticking point for video recording, the camera is just as useful with this auto calibration.
It has estimated the temperature of my hand at 102F or higher without a fever and it has estimated the temperature of frozen food (boxed food) at -2F(seems right) in my freezer side-by-side. I don’t know if I can tune that to be more accurate.
I can see where evaporative cooling is happening, immediately the warm footprints from my dog on the carpet, warm breakers or unused doorbell transformer (wasted electricity), and much more.
This review was written with less than 3 hours of use. Setup was simple.
Still not sensitive enough for what I need but very very good. I need to see the blown in or foamed in insulation in cinder blocks. I will keep testing to see if it works better through-out the change in seasons.
My primary application is for assessing medium-sized electronics. The Seek represents a great value with high thermal resolution and captures relatively crisp thermal-domain images, but the app is of limited functionality and awful support. It’s been a great tool but desperately needs updating. I keep an old Pixel phone only so that I can continue using the Seek.
The handheld FLIR E5-XT was a decent camera, but was very expensive and offered limited functionality. Images were inferior to the inexpensive Seek. I don’t think it could capture video. It came with a nice case and seemed to be a durable unit.
The TG 165 was marginally more than a toy. The camera offered shockingly little in terms of functionality. No custom scaling could be applied to the images, and the single indicated measured temperature was not aligned with the image, making it basically useless for anything other than finding massive air leaks in residential applications.
The FLIR One Pro has been the best of all of these, independent of price. I bought an iPod Touch to dedicate to the thermal camera. The accuracy of the temperature values are not great and they do shift around during use – 5 to 10C of error between 0 and 100C is typical. This isn’t a deal breaker for me; if I need a precise reference, I can keep ice water or boiling water in the frame. The app has a fantastic amount of functionality, permitting the use of multiple manual measurement points, manual temperature range scaling, and selective use of the optical and thermal cameras. It’s great for transient measurements and has been an indispensable tool for my applications.
The device is easy to use. Be careful about your measurements though. For example, you will get wrong results if trying to measure the temperature of reflective surfaces (a mirror being the absolute worst case). There is an emissivity option you can tweak though. So, using an emissivity table, you can adjust that through the menu.
“Wired” empirically measured the accuracy to be +-2C (https://www.wired.com/2014/09/testing-accuracy-flir-one/).
On the attached picture, you can see that the hottest spot is at 1.1C. The exterior air temperature at that moment was -9.7C. That is a temperature delta of 10.8 degrees Celsius! Even considering the best error case, that is still an 8.8C temperature delta. I don’t know much about construction, but it seems a lot to me and I’ve reported it. The device allowed me to spot more insulation issues inside around outlets and where it aligns with exterior features such as natural gas outlet and exterior faucet.
Softwares
The softwares, FLIR ONE and FLIR Tools are pretty basic, but allows to generate predefined reports through various templates. There is also a PC program you can install on your computer, which makes it easier to work with the pictures. You need to create an account to get it (FLIR Thermal Studio Suite; free for basic version).
Does what it says on the tin great product no problems with it so far does drain phone battery a little faster but as fast as anything would
I just received my FLIR One Pro IOS.
It was easy to setup. The app downloaded quickly and without issue. The device is basically plug and play. Records video with sound and photos directly to my i phone without issue. It would be nice if the runtime on the battery was longer, but you can’t have it all. The device will shut off after 2 minutes of nonuse, extending time of usage. I haven’t tested the accuracy against our Bollard FLIR, but for the price and size I feel that this is good product at a reasonable price point.
It was easy to get this delivered the next day rather waiting a fortnight for specialist company. Excellent outcome though my kitchen / lounge and utility room are now dug up to dehumidify for the next 4/5 weeks.

Ease of use has been a 10 – Plenty of options and usability.
Accuracy – I have a number of devices for measuring temperature and so far its been +/-1-2 F which is perfectly ok.
Durability – Stay tuned
Customer Service – I’ve been reading a lot of nightmare stories but haven’t experienced it for myself just yet and hopefully wont have to.
Update: After the 4th use it started acting up. I found that using it on a job site isn’t useful as it takes forever to start up, reads slowly, and well quite frankly doesn’t always work and crashes. Durability and battery life of concern.
It does read water damages to the floor, but not to the ceiling for whatever reason.
Marche super avec iPhone 12 Pro
M’a permis de voir par o passe mon chauffage au sol et les fuites d’air sur les portes extrieures et les ajuster.
a rame lgrement il faut des fois redmarrer.
The app could use a redesign. But other than that this little gadget saved me a packet in a dispute over insulation quality of some windows we had fitted. We could show where the heat leaks where. Brilliant!

Quality FLIR camera for the price. Does everything I’d expected for a ‘home use’ thermal camera.
It needs to be handled with care as you’d expect for a mobile plug in type camera.
We use the FLIR One Pro for building defect analysis, easy to use, fantastic quality and cos
It would be nice if the temp range was larger, but for the price I cannot complain. The battery life isn’t great, but it’s plenty for a basic job or for personal/home use. The telescoping lightning connector is a nice touch, preventing having to remove the case from the phone before use. The software works well and is easy to get.
If you’re looking for an iR cam for home use or small job use, to find insulations leaks and the like, this is a worthwhile option.
Overall, not terrible. The only complaint I have is that it won’t work on an iPhone 12 max with an otter box case. Otterbox seems to be the standard. Not sure why FLIR couldn’t get the thing to reach another 2 millimeters to connect. Taking my case off each time I need it sucks.
I have 1 recommendation, look at the picture of my camera in its case, you will see I have cut foam away where the usbc is, this stops you having to retract the USB every time you put it back in the case, also you will see i have removed foam where the switch is, this stops the button being pressed when your putting it back in the case and the battery going flat, I’ve not charged mine for about 3 months and I use it about 2 minutes a day 5 days a week.
Funziona molto bene; la lettura della temperatura non precisissima ma nel complesso le differenze di temperatura anche minime sono ben visibili.
Other than that it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t mention that this thing has pretty good image quality and seems to work well but I’ll probably end up returning it because of my lack of confidence in the battery life and charging method especially after reading all the negative reviews related to how these things fail which is usually battery related. $400 may be relatively cheap for this type of product but that doesn’t make it sting any less if it only ends up working for a few weeks or months.
UPDATE: So, in fairness, it looks like the first device I got may have had a defective battery or something like that. I sent it back to Amazon for replacement and the new one provides more realistic reporting of the remaining battery life and actually charges to 100%. Thank you Amazon!!! Adjusting stars to reflect the improved experience.
Funktioniert gut, Akku (der extern geladen werden muss) verbraucht sich schnell.
In tutti i casi la termocamera accoppiata con una fotocamera (di risoluzione molto maggiore) e combina le due immagini in modo da rendere l’immagine pi dettagliata. Si attacca alla porta (microUSB, USB-C o lightning, attenzione a prendere quella giusta) dello smartphone con un connettore di lunghezza adattabile in modo da farla aderire bene. L’app molto semplice e funzionale. L’immagine mostra i contorni dettagliati degli oggetti (presi con fotocamera) combinata con mappa a colori della temperatura (presa da termocamera) e il risultato sicuramente migliore della risoluzione modesta della termocamera. possibile scegliere tra diverse palette di colori ed il range di temperatura si adatta dinamicamente all’oggetto inquadrato. L’app permette anche di avere una misura locale della temperatura in un punto dell’immagine (come mostrato nella foto di un forno con focaccia).
DIFFERENZE TRA I 3 MODELLI
La differenza principale (a parte il prezzo) tra la ONE, la ONE PRO LT e la ONE PRO nella risoluzione e nel range della termocamera:
Risoluzione fotocamera: 1440×1080 (tutti i modelli)
Risoluzione termocamera: 80×60 (ONE e ONE PRO LT), 160×120 (ONE PRO)
Range misurazione termperatura: -20 / +120 C (ONE e ONE PRO LT), -20 / +400 C (ONE PRO, in due range diversi settabili dall’app).
Il prezzo sale dai 250 E circa (ONE) a 310 E (PRO LT) fino a 450 E (PRO).
CONCLUSIONE
La FLIR ONE e la FLIR ONE PRO LT sono praticamente identiche quindi suggerisco la ONE che pi economica. Se volete risoluzione e range di misurazione maggiore la ONE PRO fa al caso vostro (ma a costo quasi doppio).
Attenzione: non vero, come dice qualche recensione, che la ONE PRO non misura oltre i 120 C: bisogna settare il range superiore sull’app e la misura arriva fino a +400 C.
I really like how compact this product is. It was easy to set up using the app and my iPhone. For the price, the image could be a bit clearer but you can definitely see heat disperse in areas to look out for especially for heating pipes as you can see from my house although I already had an incline where these were. I would recommend this product.
Great Thermal Imaging, using every day for my business. iPad screens make the Flir image very blurry, works the best with iPhones screens.
his is a very cool product. Haven’t used it as much as i wanted. More of a novelty. But it works. Can even see foot prints left behind
Overall not bad tool for predictive maintenance. When trying to put the crosshairs over what you are trying to get the temperature of. The reading is hard to see, depending on which mode you are using. You have to go into settings and change the C to F every time you turn it on. The App that you use to run the device, in my opinion asks for to much personal info.
It easily found a gap in the base cabinet allowing air in from the walls, and verified a leak in a window seal that I knew about. It also shows you waste energy usage: my Xbox One shows up bright orange in standby mode, compared to my other devices.
The only downside is you have to charge it separately — it can’t draw power from the phone. (This makes sense, otherwise it would drain your phone battery really fast.)

They work really well and what is best you can easily send the footage straight from your phone to the relevant person.
As a side benefit, I learned that the area around base moulding on walls that back to the exterior have near zero insulation and cause more cold air to seep into a room then windows! The coldest areas of my house are along the base moulding. Makes sense I guess since there is nothing but wood around that area and no room for insulation. Now if someone would just invent insulated, detachable base moulding covers that I can attach during the winter, I could eliminate the cold floors…
I didn’t know if I should get a handheld one or one for the phone. glad I chose this.
I have used it to detect potential damp spots, missing insulation in the loft, radiator efficiency too
Highly recommended
The unit arrived incredibly promptly (I live in Jersey where Amazon prime has historically not been great). I followed instructions and initially my phone did not detect the unit. A quick glance at Flir’s help site suggested ensuring OTG is enabled (in phone’s system settings) and it worked perfectly immediately. I then explored my house with the heating on in order to map the underfloor pipes. After allowing the heating to run for an hour, all the pipes could be seen highlighted on my phone’s large screen. The subtle blending of visual and infra red images really helped and using it after switching off all the lights (at night) gave another helpful perspective. This is not a device for producing pin sharp hi res photos in the infra red spectrum, but the images (and videos!) give enough detail to identify pipes and other objects quite clearly. Video is very helpful in orientating oneself in the house as it can be hard to tell exactly where individual images were taken, without taking notes, after the event.
The instructions should make it clearer that the unit charges it’s internal battery from a separate (not supplied) charger, NOT from the phone.
Very pleased with the unit which is well made and can have so many uses looking for hot spots. Even photographing cats in the dark is fun!
I like the fact that it overlays the thermal image with a visible outline (MSX as referred to by FLIR) giving easier to identify images. Battery last approx 30 minutes and charges very quickly. Currently using the camera to identify cold spots and blockages to the central heating system of which it is perfectly sufficient. I had previously borrowed a Flir camera from work that costs well over 5x the price of this, admittedly the thermal detail isn’t as accurate but for my purpose this is a perfectly sufficient camera and a great tool to add to any homeowners tool box.

I’ve had the previous version with a quarter resolution and that was great, I used it from everything to check whether drone components were overheating, and ditto for batteries, and general house efficiency. This new version is way better, just wish the price could be cheaper.
Very impressed with this and it has proved very useful in looking for hear efficiency issue round the house. Would have given 5 stars but have struggled to get access to some of the third party apps that are recommended from the FLIR app; unless you have US iTunes account.

It’s expensive bit of kit but when you compare it to the equivalent spec camera it’s actually quite cheap. For this kind of price you wouldn’t be getting very good images.
I have highy expect this will be getting lots of uses at work been an electrician both diagnosis of faults and when doing electrical safety checks and will make use stand out from the others not using this technology.
Also a nice added point is the USB c connection is extendable so it fits on even with my large case something I was concerned about before purchasing.
Battery failed after a year due to know faults. Used maybe 20 times now worthless 18minths late
1. The Flir camera: we thought it was a fantastic and compact little tool if you don’t need much resolution for the job to hand.
2. The Flir app. Not much in the way of instructions, and although the hardware is hardy, plug in and play . . . very straightforward, we would have benefitted from a Quickstart guide that covered how to get the most out of the camera screen. Most people would be able to work it out as there is a Help guide on the app: we didn’t bother because Flir’s resolution wasn’t fit for our purposes. There is a torch/flash on the Flir app. When we were downloading the Flir app (which had a 1star rating), we also downloaded a couple of other compatible apps that had 4-5star ratings that were also advertised on the Flir app. We gave ourselves 2 minutes per app to figure them out and couldn’t do it: they may be out of date.
3. How it works with an iPhone. So the camera can be attached to the phone to face either direction which is great. We had to remove the case for it to fit our iPhone . . . and the phone felt VERY vulnerable in the locations we wanted to use it. Obviously you could buy a new phone case that is compatible with Flir. The other thing was that photos taken using the Flir camera button did not capture ALL the information (e.g. the temperature gradient) on the screen at the time so we ended up doing screen shots using the iPhone home and on/off button. This was actually quite tricky as you had to make sure your hand did not block the Flir, or that you didn’t click the phone into the lock screen (happened a lot). The Flir itself is robust: we wouldn’t recommend changing how it attaches to the iPhone.
Despite the issues, we were impressed with the fact that you could do this kind of thing with a mere phone. Maybe a future version with more resolution would suit us: at the moment though, we have decided to splurge on a full handheld unit with a higher resolution.
In the end we decided to splurge a bit more on a more powerful non-phone version and so sent this for refund.
There’s not enough info with the unit though. Initial registration was straightforward and didn’t feel like the bind other users report. I plugged the One in to charge. The charge light glued green when fully charged, flashes before that.
I liked that FLIR Tools now has a version on iOS, so I don’t need to transfer images to my PC before analysis. Great to analyse afterwards to discern temperature. So far I haven’t found out how to lock the scale – on some of my pics, the scene looks like there’s lots of variability (lots of colour) but in fact there are only 1 or 2 degrees between specific spots. Sometimes it would be better to have only the big changes shown.
But overall a great product. So glad I read the iOS reviews before buying this – I had considered I’d need to get a C3, have saved 200 by not needing to do that!
Ich arbeite mit Haustechnik und habe mir immer eine Wrmebildkamera gewnscht. Die Kosten waren aber fr eine Anschaffung stets zu hoch.
Man sollte realistisch sein. “Richtige” Wrmebildkamneras kosten schnell mehrere tausend Euro, denn die Technik ist kompliziert. Natrlich muss man Abstriche machen wenn man ein Produkt fr unter 300 Euro kauft. Toll ist aber das es etwas so erschwingliches gibt. Trotzdem kann man mit dieser Kamera fast alles machen rund ums Haus, auerdem gibt es von Flir ganz tolle Online Lernvideos zur Thermografie kostenlos die ich sehr empfehlen kann.
Das einzige was mir fehlt ist die Mglichkeit einen Temperaturbereich zu definieren. Vielleicht hat man das bewusst weggelassen um eine Abgrenzung zur teureren Profiversion zu machen. Sonst bin ich voll zufrieden.
Kleiner Nachtrag: Inzwischen habe ich festgestellt dass der Akkustand teilweise doch etwas unvorhersehbar ist wenn man das Gert einschaltet. Wer nicht die Zeit hat kurz zu laden im Bedarfsfall, ist gut beraten, eine kleine Powerbank dabei zu haben, damit kann das gert direkt weiter benutzt werden whrend es wieder ldt.
