According to Seek Thermal, home and commercial construction professionals can use these tools to assess potential issues inside or around the walls, including leaks, electrical shorts, mechanical faults and energy loss, without physically entering or damaging the envelope. The Seek Shot and Seek ShotPRO cameras are roughly the size and price of a smartphone, and allow users to detect heat sources otherwise invisible to the human eye.

You can see the FLIR One Pro was more successful in picking up the studs behind the wall than the Seek unit was.Seek Thermal has refined its thermal imaging technology to create a handheld thermal camera for widespread trade professional use. Here's an example of the Seek Reveal Pro's image of a blank wall in my home. They state a temperature sensitivity of < 70 mK on most of their devices, which is as good as FLIR for comparatively priced products.īut when I put this thermal sensitivity to the test, it did not perform well. Seek Thermal's specs look good in this regard. It's worth clarifying thermal cameras can't actually see through objects. Instead, they detect minute surface temperature differences to achieve this appearance. One of the things our customers love about our thermal cameras is they give you x-ray like vision. Seek Thermal vs FLIR Temperature Sensitivity If you are wondering what the above images are - it's our popular foot mat heater. It's worth pointing out that the FLIR ONE Pro is substantially cheaper than the Seek Shot Pro. Seek Shot Pro - with image bland (SeekFusion) Seek Shot Pro - no image blend (SeekFusion) It's currently only available on the Seek Shot series. Seek's equivalent is called 'SeekFusion'. I think the clarity of the images from the FLIR One Pro is unparalleled in the above sample set. This is in large part due to FLIR's superior thermal sensor and image enhancement technology, including 'MSX'. Here's how it looks with each thermal camera:įLIR One Pro 'SeekFusion' vs.

It's a Bosch heat pump unit with the 'heat pump' part on top of the tank. This is quite similar in form-factor to the FLIR C5.įirst up, I headed outside to my hot water system. FLIR doesn't have a direct 'equivalent looking' camera, but this device is targeted at users who may consider a professional FLIR E5 XT or similar. This is similar to the FLIR ONE or FLIR ONE Pro.

Seek Compact Lighting for iPhone (model LW-AAA).

Here are the Seek thermal imaging cameras that I tested: It simply takes better pictures than the Seek Thermal cameras, at present, in my opinion. The much larger and clearer images from the FLIR device is not my attempt to favour it. To try and be 'as fair as possible' in this review, I have uploaded the raw image from each device in each example. Rather than talk about all the specs (and why I think FLIR is still streets ahead), I thought the best way to show this is with a few sample images. Without image clarity and accurate measurement, a thermal scanner has limited utility. But what matters most is the quality of the images that these devices capture. I liked some things, such as the ultra-compact carbon-fibre-finished form factor of the Seek Reveal Pro, for example (see above). I do not recommend them at this stage, but they are worth keeping an eye on in the future.

To cut to the chase: I was not that impressed with Seek Thermal. So I thought it was about time to buy a few of the Seek Thermal range and test them out. We're always keen to see what new companies are offering. Here at Reduction Revolution, we've been selling thermal imagers for several years. And that's not just because they managed to score the website - although that is pretty neat! One thing that interests me is the low price point of their thermal cameras.

Taken at face value, Seek Thermal looks pretty good.
