What have been your top discoveries with the FLIR device?


Used my Infriray while house hunting. Possibly saved me big time €. Great also for spotting leaks any water in/on surfaces shows up quite clearly. In the same vein I use it to spot pet accidents.

The infriray is the Chinese knockoff brand which is actually better than flir because they don’t have to follow the US weapons law. So with it I get 30(?) fps instead of the ~5 with flir. Resolution is better too. It’s very sensitive and can clearly show a hand print on a surface for a minute or so even if you only touch it for 1/2 a second.


How did it save you money when house hunting? What kind of things did you detect?


I saved money by not buying a badly insulated house. There were some walls that shocked me in how little they were insulated. Also found a roof leak in another house
