Guide IR MobIR ES2 thermal imaging camera (Android & iOS)
Details
The Guide MobIR ES2 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 and works with both Android and iOS, so the same camera can be shared across devices. The ES2 has no battery of its own as it draws just 400mW from the phone.
The thermal camera has a NETD of ≤15mK, showing far smaller temperature differences than most smartphone thermal cameras. The 256x192 detector can be upscaled in real time to 512x384, giving twice the linear resolution, and the camera is ready to measure about 5 seconds after plugging in. Moreover, the 56°x42° field of view and a 30Hz frame rate suit inspection work on cabinets, boards and installations.
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 measurement range of the ES2 runs from -20 to 550°C over two auto-switching ranges. The aerospace-grade metal housing is IP54 rated and passes a 2m drop test, while the whole camera only weighs 31g.
For close-up inspection of small components, an optional magnetic 15x macro lens is available. iPhone 14 and earlier models, and iPads with a Lightning port, require the optional USB-C to Lightning adapter.
