Thermal vision camera manufacturer FLIR Systems has its new One model available, the world's first thermal imaging device so far for iPhone

The new FLIR One thermal imaging camera, so far the first in the world of its kind for Apple smartphones developed by FLIR Systems, is a lightweight accessory that transforms an iPhone 5 or 5s in a powerful thermal imaging camera. When combined with your app for this mobile device, camera displays live infrared images.

FLIR One detects invisible heat energy, offering users the ability to 'visualize' and measure variations in minutes of temperature as a security system, for example to detect energy leaks and smoke that are seen in complete darkness, intruder detection, Etc.

For Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR Systems, "The company is dedicated to the development and distribution of technologies that provide users with a sixth sense.. Based on technology previously reserved for the military, FLIR One is the first of a new generation of affordable thermal imaging devices, designed to inspire imaginative and innovative uses by consumers, which is a revolutionary advance for both our company and thermal imaging".

This device detects a wide range of temperatures and has a temperature measurement screen and its own rechargeable battery, with an autonomy of up to two hours in continuous use. Users can capture photos or videos using the TimeLapse feature, that converts thermal images into an uncut video that reveals temperature changes over time, or turn a series of images into a panorama.
