HP96 Thermal Imaging Camera,3.5" Touch Screen Thermal Camera with Visual Camera, Intelligent Scene Detection, 240 x 240 Super Resolution, 96 x 96 IR Resolution, 25 Hz Video Recording, -4°F to 662°F

This is a great mid-tier thermal camera for anyone who needs reliable imaging without spending thousands. It’s not a FLIR T-series, but it doesn’t need to be. I received my unit and immediately noticed a battery issues. After working with the seller the issue lies with the sleep state of the device. The seller is very responsive and very helpful. Once solved the battery lasts a long time. I bought this for spotting insulation gaps, diagnosing electrical issues, or water leaks. After putting it through its paces, I can say this compact unit punches above its weight. The 3.5" touchscreen is relatively intuitive and responsive. The live super resolution enhancement to 240 x 240 is surprisingly effective. The 25 Hz video recording is smooth enough for walkthroughs or documenting dynamic heat changes and the built-in storage handles video and audio recording. Covers a wide range: -4°F to 662°F. That’s more than enough for HVAC, engine diagnostics, or spotting wildlife heat signatures. Accuracy is solid—within ±2%, and it detects temperature differentials down to 0.05°C Compact and rugged. Survived a couple of drops without issue.IP54 rating means it’s dust-resistant and splash-proof—good enough for field use, even in rough conditions. Just get it and if you have issues contact the seller.

It works very well, easy to use.Comes with a bag and USB-C cable.The quality of the pictures are good, but the resolution is not high.Affordable and do the job.

Updated Review:The company reached out to us and replaced the unit via Amazon (not hand picked) despite the fact that we already returned the camera. The new camera works fantastic and has been excellent at finding thermal leaks in our house when the temperature is substantially different outside (i.e. hot summer). The distinguishing power of the sensors doesn't seem to be enough for small thermal differences, but it is enough for a homeowner. At the original $160 (2024) price, the camera is a great value and an excellent alternative to to a single point IR sensor (the cheap thermal guns at the big box stores). The only downside is the device takes a few seconds every time it calibrates, which is maybe once a minute. The device is more responsive as long as the battery is charged.Original Review:Thermal imaging camera arrived with no charge and missing screen protection peel. After several hours on the charger, the battery would not gain any charge despite the solid red charing light. I was able to briefly operate the camera via an external battery, but the interface was slow and occasionally the camera would lag out for a few seconds. Currently significantly cheaper than FLIR or other alternatives with coupon, but quality control is too poor to recommend. Manufacturer/brand is only two months old, Amazon exclusive, and appears to be from Vietnam/China - not USA based like adverts suggested.

This thing is so fun!! I love how quickly it gets you right where you want to be. The default settings are pretty good, you can change the "colors" but honestly the default are probably the best. Refresh rate is pretty good, however the screen does pause somewhat frequently to refresh (you get used to it). Video and photos from device look fine- but they are very low resolution- don't expect any HD footage off this thing. The screen aspect is mostly square, which is also "fine," but sometimes I'd prefer a longer view. The size of the screen is great- not as big as a smart phone, but big enough to see what you need to for walls/objects within a few meters of you. Range is impressive- will identify temperature for objects quite far away (can't tell accuracy, but I'm thinking it's pretty accurate). My only gripe is that it can't "see" through walls or windows. So temperature changes have to be at the surface level to be detected. Still, it's been very helpful to identify leaks in our walls/roof- we'd be searching for them for hours if we didn't have this thing. Would not recommend for hunting or animal scouting- like, it will "work," but anything that far away will be pretty small on screen and might get lost in background "noise."

I am following up on my previous reveiw of 3 stars. I have changed it to 5! After about. Month of using the Therm Cam and getting great results with it. I used it to trace a water leak above sheetrock, ground water coming up through the floor, heat leaks in my buildings and many other facility uses.My camera stopped charging but it was due to one of my workers not using the given charging cord it comes with. When he gave it to me I tried charging it and had the same results. I wrote the company well after the return time and they were willing to send me a totally new camera. When I received it I took the cord out and plugged it into the old camera and it started to charge! I then found the box it came in and there was the original cord. It has a resistor in it which makes it special to charging the camera. You can not use any USBC charging cord. I was embarrassed to tell them but also happy that I didn’t get ripped off. Since then I returned the origanal camera and bought another to have as a spare. I have a Flur also but this video screen shows so much detail it’s like x-ray vision. Can’t beat this price.

Originally bought this on a whim and due to it's low cost. After a few uses playing with it at home, it has gone to work with me many times. I've used it from everything to checking the HVAC in my office to getting images to verify temp setting on my server racks. Color display and touch screen are easy to use. Accuracy of the temperature is spot on with my non-contact thermometer. After many uses still have not run the battery down, and can recharge it from a wall wart, or one of my phone chargers.
