Guide IR MobIR ES1 thermal imaging camera (Android & iOS)
Details
The Guide MobIR ES1 is a plug-and-play thermal camera for smartphones and tablets, turning a phone into a thermal imager for HVAC inspection, electrical fault diagnosis, PCBA inspection and building inspection. It connects through USB-C, meaning the same camera can be shared across devices.
The thermal camera has a NETD of ≤15mK and the ES1 measures a temperature range from -20 to 550°C over two auto-switching ranges. The 120x90 detector can be upscaled in real time to 480x360, giving four times the linear resolution. Moreover, the 50°x38° field of view and a minimum object distance of 0.1m suit close-range work on cabinets, boards and pipework.
The free FocusIR app for iOS and Android provides spot, line and area analysis, 12 colour palettes plus one custom palette, temperature alarms, and photo and video recording. The camera is IP54-rated and passes a 2m drop test, while it only weighs 25g. The ES1 has no battery and draws 310mW from the phone.
For close-up inspection of small components, an optional magnetic 30x macro lens is available. iPhone 14 and earlier models, and iPads with a Lightning port, require the optional USB-C to Lightning adapter.
