FLIR Ex Series Infrared Camera Basic Operations

[@evanofelipe]

I’ve hired an E5 for 24 hrs to carry out thermal emissions survey of a property that I’m seriously considering buying. Your video is very useful to familiarise myself with the use and functionality of the device. Thank you

That's exactly why I made the video so you could be off and running with it. Godspeed!

In order to share the IR Camera images with my iPad, do I first need to download FLIR Tool software compatible with device? If so where from? Whilst I was able to identify the camera and connect with password I could little else, so assume I also required software to manage the image transfer and manipulation process. Your video did not explain the process

Download FLIR Tools mobile from the app store or here- www.flir.com/products/flir-tools-app/?model=APP-10003&vertical=condition%20monitoring&segment=solutions After that you connect to the cameras wifi. You have to turn that on in the camera. You can choose or see the password in the camera. Best of luck.

@@OJUtter Thanks, I successfully downloaded software as per link, but encountered problem on transfer, so reverted to exporting images via USB to iMac. I didn’t have lots of time to experiment, as the device was due for return to Hire Company. Found your explanation’s very helpful - thanks again. For anyone using FLIR Ex I’d recommend getting it early to familiarise your self with functions before carrying emissive survey. Setting up photos for JPEG non IR image was useful so should be easy to identify what your looking at rather than relying on IR image. I took 99 photos in 20 mins and will keep the photos for future reference when improving insulation upgrades over time. I was happy with results of my survey based on IR results and have decided to proceed with buying the house, with more confidence than I had following my 1st structural inspection. Hire fee was much cheaper than RIC’s level 3.

is it possible to live steam?

[@OJUtter]

Like Livestream to KZbin. I don't believe it will. It is possible to do that with the FLIR One attachable cameras though
