TOPDON TC004 Thermal Imaging Camera, 320 x 240 TISR Resolution, 256 x 192 IR High Resolution, 12-Hour Battery Life Handheld Infrared Camera with PC Analysis and Video Recording Supported, 32GB SD Card

The first unit I received worked well, but did not accept firmware updates. TOPDON worked with me to assess the problem. It was determined that the unit was faulty and should be replaced. TOPDON expeditiously replaced the failed unit. Shipping took a while because it travelled across the country and had to go by surface since there was a Li ion battery. TOPDON provided the shipper and carried the charges. They were good to work with. The TC004 is a good IR imager for the price. I have watched microbolometer array thermal imagers for years. This is the best thermal imager available for the price having a focal plane that is 256x192 pixels. Comparably priced devices generally have smaller arrays so less resolution in their field of view. The TC004 is a handheld unit with a pistol-grip type of handle. It is sturdy and well made. I like this better than a device that plugs into a smart phone. It is more stable and easier to point and shoot. It has a ½-20 thread in the handle bottom so it can be mounted on a tripod. Very convenient for stability. The battery life is excellent. I have not had it run down. I find when charged, it will run for quite a while. The manual is pretty lean. The first 15 pages are in English. The remaining 85 pages are in other languages, clearly an international product. The imager can take stills and video. Associated with the camera is a free downloaded software package, TDView that runs on PC Windows 7, 10 and 11. Thermal analysis can be done with TDView of acquired still images whether taken remotely or while tethered to the PC using TDView. Video taken with TDView while the TC004 is tethered is in .irv format and can be post processed for thermal analysis by extracting stills from the played back video. Video acquired remotely is in .h264 format and can only be viewed in TDView, but not post processed for temperature analysis. Overall, this is an excellent device for the price. I acquired mine on a Christmas sale. I give it 5 stars. This a helpful device for assessing heat leaks in my house. Scary! It has other interesting uses too. I recommend this as a useful addition to any measurement toolkit.

I've had this for about 6 months and used it occasionally for building maintenance tasks/troubleshooting. I have no idea how accurate the readings are in terms of absolute temperature, but the sensitivity of this thing for relative temperature is fantastic. Walk across a wood floor barefoot and see your footprints (not practical, just an example), see water lines behind drywall, air ducts under the floor, moisture loaded spots usual suspects. In one case I was looking for wet spots in the plaster ceiling of a 100 year old church with ~25' ceilings and could clearly see the ceiling joists scanning from ground level, very impressed. Picture is very clear in IR and standard. The basic controls and adjustments are intuitive and easy to use. I was worried I'd be getting junk if it wasn't a FLIR or Fluke, but this thing has pleasantly surprised me. I haven't been rough with it, but the build quality seems rugged. Very pleased.

I bought this to help identify a leak in my roof and it worked great. The screen was a nice size and you could save pictures if needed. The colors were easy to see and with little instruction you can tell what you are looking at. It comes with a nice case for portability and to keep everything together. This was packaged very well for shipping and came with no issues. It charged fast and lasted for as long as I needed but I am not sure how long it would last as I didn’t run it to empty. This is a good unit and I would recommend this if it is in your price range.

Very cool device. Felt like I took a chance on it because I did not know the reputation of the manufacturer, but I've been nothing but happy with the purchase. The packaging is high quality and appears that they took care in protecting the device. The build quality is solid and robust - easy to grip and rubberized in a way that makes it at least seem like it isn't entirely fragile. Battery life lasts a long time, which I appreciate, and the product is easy to use. It has helped me in home maintenance, especially during the inspection phase, and is extremely good at catching water leaks behind walls (cold contrast with the surroundings), missing insulation (hot spots in the ceiling/roof), and potential wiring issues or devices drawing excessive power from the outlet while appearing to be off. It can even sometimes see studs in walls and the nails in the studs due to temperature differences. The only con might be the price, but I feel like I've got a very solid thermal camera, so no regrets after about a year of use.

I’ve been using this thermal imaging camera for the past two weeks now. The unit itself is very high-quality. The screen resolution and ability to show the vast temperature range difference is impressive, the price range is very affordable, and the amount of uses are limitless. So far I’ve used this for checking the efficiency of my outdoor Wood Boiler, indoor fuel oil Boiler, checking for drafts throughout my house, vehicle and small engine temperatures, and Finding heating pipes in my walls, just to name a few. The unit feels good in my grip And has multiple settings to get a more accurate thermal picture. My personal favorite is the rainbow palette The only con of this thermal imaging camera I have comes down to how the format of the SD card is. I tried plugging The SD card into my iPhone and Mac computers and it said that I could not read the files. After purchasing and testing, I assume this only works on Windows operating systems but I didn’t see any mention of this on the product page or in the manual.

After a lot of reading reviews and research, I decided to buy this Thermal camera. It has helped me fix some laptops and other electronics without wasting time. If you repair a lot of things, this is most definitely worth the price. Previously I spent hours trying to fix a laptop motherboard, but when this arrived in the mail I could pinpoint the short straight away as a faulty shorted chipset in the CPU and saved me many hours trying to look elsewhere. One thing to consider is if you work with a lot of small smd components, then you should consider a macro lens. Either make your own or look for a thermal camera that you can buy one for. It's possible to use it without the macro lens, but it's not as focused, although you can still pinpoint components.
