The emissivity feature works but it doesn't seem to be super accurate when viewing things like shiny metal. I used the tempersture probe to get a baseline on a shiny metal object, adjusted the emissivity on the camera multiple times and could not accurately get a reading. Another thing I've noticed is when viewing an object that emits infrared (a TV remote control), this camera does not pick up any signs of infrared. I'm not sure if it's the type of lens over the camera or what, but trying every different color scheme and tried different settings, nothing seemed to work. Even with what I mentioned above, this thermal camera works very well. The update speed when viewing an object is so fast, the handheld FLIR doesn't compete. As soon as I move the camera to view an object, it shows the updated temperature almost immediately.. and on 3 separate parts of the screen! It shows where you are aiming and automatically locates the coldest and hottest objects in the view. The different color schemes are nice, I like how intuitive the app is to use, it gives you information on the emissivity section with common emissivity settings, it has a picture in picture mode so you can view in thermal and in normal lighting, the carry pouch, and USB line is also a nice addition; I have an otterbox case on my phone and because of the cable I don't have to remove the case to use the thermal camera. I've used this camera on my house that I'm remodeling to check for hot spots in the walls and ceiling; I've also checked another closed in house to check for leaks in the walls. I am very pleased with this purchase and will be recommending this thermal camera to others in the future. Review: Excellent thermal camera for the price! - It's really a good little thermal camera for the price. The thermals are good, the temperature seems accurate, the build quality is good. If you need an inexpensive thermal camera this is it. The good: It has a nice quality little case that comes with it, similar to a small hard drive case. Very protective. The build quality is good. It comes with an extension cord that's around 9" long (which you will need if you have a phone case that prevents the camera from seating all the way into the USB port). The image quality is good, and it seems accurate. The bad: It doesn't overlay a real camera image with the thermal image. That's a much more high end feature. The USB port length is not adjustable, so if your phone has a case on it that blocks the body of the thermal camera from getting close enough to the body of the actual phone, then the USB port won't plug in deep enough to work. That's why you get the short USB extension cord. The cord also keeps your camera easy to move around with your other hand. It's amazing what you can do with a thermal camera. You can look at your walls, windows and ceilings to see where cold air is leaking into your house. You can check for overheating electrical components. You can see if certain parts of an electronics board are failed and heated up (for PCM and motherboard repair, etc). On cars, you can look a cold car over in the morning and see if there are any warm spots. Warm spots indicate that some piece of electronics is running when it shouldn't be, causing a parasitic draw. You can spot bad bearings in a spinning pulley that are beginning to heat up. You can see if your brakes work evenly on both sides of the car, or if you have a bad wheel bearing. You can see if coolant is flowing properly thru a radiator, or if a thermostat is open and flowing water. It's really good for automotive diagnostics. If you are looking for a budget thermal camera, this is it! ## Features - 【High-Precision HD Thermal Imaging】Discover more with TC001!

This is a very nice IR camera, certainly well worth the price. I ordered the "Grey" finish version, and the photos for the "Grey" version do not show the zippered hard-shell case, the USB extension cable, or the lens cleaning cloth that is shown with the "Blue" version. However when mine arrived, inside the box was a hard shell zippered case, an extension USB cable, and a cleaning cloth. So the "Grey" version ships with the same set of accessories that are shown in the photos for the "Blue" version. The attached photos show the case and accessories that are included. The great aspect about having the case is it provides a protected location to store the camera when not in use. Not that the camera feels flimsy, it is metal and feels to be of high quality construction, but being a camera, the lens is the most important external part to not damage, and having the case provides that protection in storage. The camera itself works very well with a PC/Laptop. I have been using it so far with the tomshaffner/PyThermalcam software that is available from Github (just search Github for tomshaffner/PyThermalcam and it will come up). Plugged the camera into its extension cable, plugged the USB-C to USB-A adapter into the other end of the cable (as my laptop only has USB-A ports), launched PyThermanCam, and a thermal image popped right up. I've attached a snapshot of a sample thermal image of a circuit board that was powered up for a few minutes to warm up. This is actually the purpose for which I purchased the camera, finding hot spots on circuit boards for repair purposes. Although now that I have it, I suspect I'll find additional uses as time goes on. Very pleased with the purchase and I expect this camera to be very helpful in the future. ## Frequently Bought Together - TOPDON TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera Android, 512x384 Super IR Resolution Thermal Imager with Secondary Analysis, Test Report, Temp Alarm, -4°F~1022°F TEM Range for Smartphones(not for iOS) - Cellularize USB C Extender Adapter Straight (2 Pack) 40Gbps 240W Cable Extension Type-C Low Profile Male to Female Thunderbolt QC & Data Transfer for USB-C Devices - RIITOP USB C Extension Cable Short, USB-C Male to Female Extender Braided Cord for Nintendo Switch, MacBook Pro 7.8inch (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/534176040-topdon-tc001-thermal-imaging-camera-for-android-512x384-high-resolution](https://www.desertcart.is/products/534176040-topdon-tc001-thermal-imaging-camera-for-android-512x384-high-resolution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
