I’m a big fan of Android smartphones with built-in thermal cameras like the amazing ulefone power armor 18t,
But I also understand that some people may not want to replace their smartphone just to have access to this useful superpower.

One feature of the P2 Pro app that I really like is that there are two more with crosshairs in the center of the image that take the highest and lowest temperatures in the shot.

Popping the macro lens on the front of the camera lets you get up close and personal with what you’re looking at, giving you really better resolving power.

Not sure what you can do with it? Here are some of the things you can do with a thermal camera:
- Locate electrical components that overheat (faulty components usually overheat).
- Diagnose all types of HVAC problems, from leaking windows to radiators that won’t heat up properly and AC units that won’t cool.
- Find out about rechargeable batteries that overheat dangerously.
- Find the radiator pipe under the floorboard.
- Find overheating power cables.
- Find cooling system problems on desktop and laptop systems.
- Spot binding brakes on cars.
My tip for learning to use a thermal camera is to use it to look at things when they’re not faulty – your radiator, car brakes, electrical items, whatever – and that way you get an idea of what things should look like, so you can tell when things aren’t working properly.

I find thermal cameras so useful that I turn to them without thinking about it. Right now I wanted to know if any electrical equipment is getting power. Instead of reaching for the multimeter, I used my thermal camera to see if anything was heating up inside. Once I saw the components getting hot, this eliminated a lot of potential problems.
I’ve been testing several thermal cameras – both cameras that are standalone and cameras that connect to smartphones – and Infire P2 Pro The Best. It’s small, the macro lens makes it highly flexible, it’s fast and accurate, and it doesn’t need to be charged separately.
It’s a great addition to any repair toolkit, and thanks to a coupon available on Amazon, you can get both for $50 off the list price Android And iphone version.
