FLIR Lepron based thermal camera, with high quality OLED display.
The challange
It's really useful at your work or at your home to see the invisible! Objects and living beings radiates heat, which offers very valuable information in many cases. However the that radiation in invisible for humans.
Use cases
Using the thermal camera you will be able to detect:
- Leaks in wall or roof
- insufficient or damaged insulation
- electrical problems, short circuits
- overheated electrical or mechanical components
- discovering rodents, wasp nests, etc...
- issues with farm animals or pets
Pocket size Thermal camera
Features:

Awesome project! FYI there's a new Lepton module that was released by FLIR in April, the Lepton 3. Double the resolution with very similar specs and it's not that much more expensive either!
