HP96 Thermal Imaging Camera, Super Resolution 240 x 240 Thermal Camera with Visual Camera, 96 x 96 IR Resolution, 3.5" Touch Screen, 25 Hz, Video and Audio Recording, 50° FOV, -4°F to 662°F

The HSFTOOLS HP96 Thermal Imaging Camera is a game-changer! I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm consistently impressed with its performance and ease of use. The Live Super Resolution feature makes a huge difference in image clarity, and the dual cameras provide excellent detail and contrast. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, and the built-in video and audio recording are incredibly useful.I've used the HP96 for everything from home inspections to DIY projects, and it's always delivered accurate temperature readings and helped me identify potential problems quickly. The temperature alarm feature is a lifesaver, and the ability to switch between image modes and color palettes is a great bonus. The HP96 is a fantastic value for the price, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use thermal imaging camera.

Two problems:(1) Nothing on the website here said that the camera would only upload its pictures via an Android- or PC-style connection. I have iOS devices. So I assumed that the camera would work in either setting. In truth, however, the charging and connecting cord that came with the camera *does* fit into the port of my iOS laptop, but the laptop *does not* see the device at all. I've tried several tricks to get the laptop to recognize it, but no luck.(2) Early-on after starting up the camera, it ran out of power. OK. Arrived with a small charge, but now needs to be charged. I get it. But I've now used the charging cord that came with the camera, and the camera will not charge. I've tried it charging on three different USB ports, and it won't charge. So....Pity. I like the look and feel of this camera. And I liked the way it performed. UNTIL it wouldn't connect to my iOS and then wouldn't re-charge.UPDATE: The company has been extremely cooperative with me in working out solutions to the issues I noted. First of all, with a different cable, the camera uploaded to my iOS device like a charm.Second, they replaced the camera, and the new one seems to have no battery problems. I understand that the battery lasts about a year, but they can repair it when it dies, so I'm anticipating no problems in the future. I've also given them some feedback about battery life and making the battery serviceable by the customer (via buying a new one to put in, as we do for so many of our battery-run things nowadays).I still think the camera itself is a great little thing. It takes great photos and has a number of settings so you can customize the kind of results you want to get. I'm still learning to use it. But so far, so good!

Perfect for 90% of peoples needs. Impressive that this tech is now so cheap. Even picks up my footsteps on my carpet. No issues after 4 months. Several friends have borrowed it to look for heat loss on their houses and are all fans.

I’ve ordered two of these, but had to return both since they stopped working in a very short period of time. The last one I ordered would just shut down, even just after I would fully charge the battery. I believe it was an issue related to the battery charging because it seemed like it never had enough battery to work for more than a few minutes. It was defective, not a design flaw. Please know that I love this item and this brand!! It is handy for so many different things. It offers a lot of features and has a nice touchscreen. Just be aware, like with any electronics, that it can fail. Given the cost of this, I recommend purchasing an extended warranty through Amazon to be on the safe side, as it is a great handy item! I do recommend this product. Once I see it on sale again, I will purchase it again WITH an extended warranty, then I can rest assured.UPDATE (March 2025): Wow! HFS Tools saw my review and is sending me a replacement unit! What outstanding customer service! Kudos to this great company and for caring about their customers and ensuring they are satisfied! I added a star to my review because HFS Tools truly takes good care of their customers.

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 is my first device like this so I don’t have experience with another to compare it to. I’ve used it for automotive checks and to take look in the woods at my house to quickly access exactly what it is that my dogs are barking at. I found it to be easy to use. It has some customizations that are easy to navigate and set. It looks and feels to be made well. Nice portable size and weight. Does everything I need for the price.
