- High quality PCB Services pcbway.com Join me in this video where we take a closer look at The TOPDON TC002 Thermal Camera for iOS smartphones/devices. With its 256x192 pixels resolution, 25Hz refresh rate and a temperature range of up to 550 degrees Celsius and a more refined app it offers improved functionality for pretty much the same cost and a similarly sized package. You can also get this model with a USB-C for Android version links below.

#Infrared #TOPDON #TC002
Welcome to a new Voltlog and today it's another thermal camera review, this is the TOPDON TC002 it has a lightning connector so it works with iOS devices. They also have TC001 which is identical but for Android with USB Type-C and there is also a TC004 which is a standalone unit with a 2.8inch display among other products in their offer.
I’ve seen some comments on my previous review videos that it’s not really a good idea to buy an accessory like this camera with a lightning connector because Apple is going to remove the lightning connector this year and you’re left stranded. Well let me share a few thoughts on why I don’t necessarily agree with that idea.
First, people have been saying that Apple is going to remove the lightning connector for the past 4-5 years or so, and did they remove it? No! So you should never purchase something on a promise of a future addition of a feature and I think the same can be said about removal of a feature because you don’t know when and if that’s going to happen.
The second thought is that even if apple removes the lightning connector on it’s next device releasing this fall. You probably still have a lightning connector iphone and most people will probably still have it for at least a couple of years more and it will continue to be perfectly usable. But let me know if you guys have a different opinion. I would love to hear about it in the comments below.
So the TOPDON TC002 was sent in for free for the purpose of this review and I said why not take a look at a different implementation of the Infiray thermal sensor. How do I know it’s an Infiray thermal sensor? Well for a start it’s the same resolution 256x192, same high refresh rate of 25Hz and same temperature range -20°C to 550°C, features look similar, there are only a handful of thermal imaging sensor manufacturers so I’m pretty sure the sensor inside this camera is Infiray.
But Infiray supplies just a framework and it’s up to the individual OEMs to provide a functional package to the user. And depending on their resources they can come up with better apps for examples that enhance the sensor capability.
Inside the package we are greeted with the sight of the protective case, thumbs up for that as some cameras or test instruments from other manufacturers do not include the EVA protective case. We also get a lightning extension cable, which is braided but kinda stiff, I like my USB cables to be a bit more flexible, we also get a lint free cleaning cloth and the camera itself seated in its cutout.
The app you need to install is very intuitively called TC002 so it’s an easy find on the App Store. It is installed in just a few seconds and upon connecting the camera, it is detected in the upper right corner. You select first option thermal imaging and it starts in the iron color palette which is my favorite. Min max temperatures as well as target crosshair temperatures are displayed by default. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Valid observation about the lightning connector issue! I am an Android guy, so not effected. Great review by the way!!!
thank you!
Nice review video
Thanks!
Yeah, the EU will be making the lightning connector illegal soon, so it's definitely going away. Apple could fight back in a couple of ways, they could make the phones Qi charging only, so there's no port at all, or they could make an EU-only phone with a separate USB port in place of the second SIM slot for example. But most likely they'll just comply, but wait as long as they can to make the change. Either way it could be years before the lightning port goes away. Even if it changes next year, you can probably make it work with an adapter. And as you said, you can just keep your old phone.
In any case, there's no evidence that the USBee See model for Android will "just work" with a future USBee See iphone. So you could spend your money on a thermal camera that you can't even use with your phone today, and not be able to use it with the new iphone anyway.
Can you turn off FFC in the TC View desktop app?
Does it have a color blind mode / color palette for those who have color blindness?
Hi, thanks for the vid. Does this work well at a medium range? I need a camera that can detect head loss from buildings. Can I stand on a street and monitor a house from a distance of around 30feet (10m)?
My reading... This one is good up to about 16 feet (I think), distant objects are detected but without clarity. The TS001 has a focusable lens.
Uni-T uti260m (Their product name sounds like some urological bacteria 😂😂) had their usb connector on a ribbon cable, making it easy changeable. Surely someone will make conversion kit for you when USB C iphone comes out.

The USB-C is a requirement from European Union... It's not up to the good will of Apple because we would have to wait forever for that change. The deadline is fall 2024.
I bet they end up putting a USB-C charging-only port AND a lightning port on iDevices. The lightning port will charge faster and allow accessories to work - because ....... security/terrorism/encryption/ecology/won't someone think of the children/something. The USB port will probably be serialised for the same reason.
I know that the EU is pushing in that direction, which is a good direction but until it actually happens.. there is a lot that can happen for various political reasons.
Yes. The EU still has its uses.
Id rather get doogee V20 pro for far superior thermal imaging
at more than 2X the price, no thank you. for professionals sure, but for everyone else, not so much. take care.
Doogee V20 has the exact same thermal sensor.
@@mypeeps1965 Don't know where you buy your phones, but the V20 (and the newer S98 Pro) are about the same price as this thermal camera. You're going to be carrying a phone anyway, why add the hassle of carrying an expensive dongle around too?
(I've got the S98 Pro, works fine as a phone. No 5G though if that matters.)
Spoiler - Apple removed the lightening connector in favor of USB-C. Mainly because Europe mandated it… 🤦♂️
Apple removed it….😂
