PerfectPrime IR0102 thermal camera

Thermal imaging cameras were originally developed for military use. But since the development of this innovative technology many variations have been manufactured for commercial and home use.

Today thermal imaging cameras are typically used to detect temperatures by rendering infrared radiation as visible light. 

A thermal camera is versatile because it can be used in different industries such as hunting, search and rescue missions & home-based inspections. Home owners use thermal imaging cameras to repair HVAC systems and to find leaks in their water pipes. 

So can a thermal camera assist you in your business or your home even if you’re a beginner? If you’re looking for a budget thermal camera to get you started the PerfectPrime IR0102 application is the device you need. Take a look at what the PerfectPrime IR0102 has to offer you with this short product review. 

About the Manufacturer

The PerfectPrime brand provides you with innovative and versatile thermal imaging applications for commercial & home use. PerfectPrime manufactures products that are affordable for any business or homeowner without compromising on quality.

PerfectPrime IR0102 packaging

The PerfectPrime IR0102 is a compact device weighing as little as 0.8oz because this thermal imaging application attaches to your Android smartphone. The thermal camera in most cases will be the same width as your SmartPhone making this an ergonomically designed application.

On top of the application, there’s an integrated output that’s compatible with most Android SmartPhones. Simply use the output to plug the device into your phone so you can start using your PerfectPrimes IR0102 camera. 

Thermal Resolution

PerfectPrime IR0102 thermal sensor

The PerfectPrimes IR0102 camera has a thermal resolution of 32x32 with 1024 pixels. The IR thermal resolution isn’t of the highest quality so it can’t be used for heavy-duty industrial applications. It’s best to use the IR0102 camera for easy homebound tasks.

Image Frequency

PerfectPrimes IR0102 thermal image frequency is 9Hz which is standard for budget applications. Tracking moving objects or using the IR0102 for hunting purposes won’t be ideal as this is not what the camera is used for.

The application is simply used to detect variations in temperatures from objects which help with tasks around the house such as plumbing and HVAC inspections. 

Image Mixing

PerfectPrime’s IR0102 image mixing is similar to FLIR’s MSX as it has a visual image camera of 0.3 megapixels. The thermal imaging sensor at this resolution is quite low but if you pair it with the built in visual camera it can work well for minor projects.
