Review: Easy to use compact Thermal imaging camera which provide clear concise results every time! - Thermal image camera was delivered following day post order. It comes in a great little carry case with leads and there are clear instructions to setup which is really easy to follow. For IOS go to the App store download app plug in camera to phone via lightening connector and it turns on in a matter of seconds. The camera will be used to troubleshoot repairs, spot potential faults, and record images in the auto trade but as you can see from images I have had a play and scanned my wife after training, a house, and a motor car engine. All images are clear and give a clear temperature reading. You can also take videos which may be useful to share your results. This is a good quality product with user friendly application and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a compact Thermal image camera.
Review: Fantastic product for the price - Fantastic little thermal camera, I have owned a FLIR one gen 2 for a few years now and was very happy with it until the internal battery started to decline. I saw a review of the TC001 and thought I might try it as a replacement to my FLIR camera. I was very impressed by this product, so easy to use, just install the app from the play store and plug it in and it's ready to go. The 256x192 resolution makes a great improvement on the FLIR camera and I was surprised with the detail it shows. But what really makes this unit superior over the FLIR camera is the 25Hz frame rate compared to 8.5Hz (due to US export control). The FLIR camera uses two cameras, one thermal and one normal and used their MSX technology to combine the two cameras which gives really good image detail with a lower thermal resolution and I thought this would make the TC001 inferior but this is not the case, comparing the two I prefer the TC001. Just one more point to make is some reviews say the image\video periodically "stutters or freezes" this is completely normal as the camera has a shutter that calibrates it from time to time as most thermal cameras do. To sum up it is a very capable camera at a great price, I highly recommend it, only for Android devices currently and it also works on a windows PC. The Android app is very good with a lot of options to add measurement points (compared to the FLIR app), the windows app needs to be improved a bit but I believe is quite new currently and Topdon are planning to improve it in the future. There are a lot of features I have not mentioned in this review as it's getting a bit long.

## Features

- HIGH RESOLUTION, LOW CONSUMPTION: With ultra-high resolution of 512x384, the TOPDON TC001 thermal imaging camera displays a thermal picture of your target with high resolution. Connect the TC001 infrared camera to a smartphone or a tablet, and the electronic devices will power the TC001. With consumption of only 0.35W, the TC001 works 4-7 hours for phones with 3000-5000mAh.
- PRECISE TEMPERATURE DETECTION: With an enhanced testing range of -20℃ to 550℃(-4℉ to 1022℉), this infrared thermal imager can perform temperature readings accurate within2℃ (3.6℉) or 2% of the object’s actual temperature, and measure the temperature to 0.1℃ accuracy. The TC001 can take continuous measurements of a scene and generate a waveform graph with the high, low, and average temperatures of objects.
- 3 DIMENSIONS and 9 COLOR PALETTES:User can manually select 3 dimensions of this thermal camera to check temperature in the TC001 App: Point, Line (Highest and Lowest) and Surface (Highest and Lowest) detection. With up to 3 areas for each dimension, the TC can read temperatures in 9 areas simultaneously. 9 color palettes allow users to read the temperature differences in a scene with the gradient colors of their choice.
- IMAGE ENHANCEMENT TECHNOLOGY: TOPDON’s image enhancement technology makes the field of view clearer and more detailed by adjusting image sharpness and contrast. Image rotation function allows users to view the temperature in different angles without rotating your phones. With the image fusion function, the infrared imager can combine the IR image and visible image taken by a mobile camera.
- COMPACT AND ADAPTABLE: The TOPDON TC001 thermal imaging camera is compact (2.8x1.65x0.55 inches in size and 30 grams in weight) and pairs with Android phones for ultimate portability. A 19.7-inch cable with USB converter provides flexibility, while the anti-dust EVA bag and wiping cloth offer protection and cleaning. Note: Not compatible with iPhone 15.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very capable, nice quality tool.
*by J***B on 31 October 2025*

Excellent little IR cam. Perfect for electronics - you really don't have to pay 2 or 3 times as much for higher resolution cameras, this is more than adequate to see hotspots and components. Also perfect for anything else you want to inspect from wiring to radiators, to your roof to see where heat is escaping. The app is solid. Comes with a carry case for protection and a short extension cable if and when you don't want to physically attach it to your phone. Very happy with it.
