Now that 30fps IR cameras are available, it is your duty to turn one into a 3D printable heat-seeking missile.

Two reps videos within two days? That must be a fever dream!

Nothing like a fresh reps video to end the day

It's not in "some weird container", it's in *no* container. That's a raw H.264 stream, which is possible because it's video-only. But yeah, it would have been much easier for most people to deal with if they put it into an ISOBMFF ("MP4") container.

Ah, it's that time of the month when Marco's hard drives are full and he has to push out all the videos :). BTW .h264 files are usually the raw H.264 bitstream with no container, although it's a bit odd to see a consumer product produce one as they're not the nicest files to work with.

That's a really well-constructed piece of equipment and for it's functions, I think its priced right! All the improvements you mentioned could be done and the price raised accordingly in my opinion.

Several years back, I got a refurbished Agilent (with Keysight sticker) IR imager with visible sensor. It has a neato mechanical focus-and-parallax-adjusting mechanism so whenever you adjust the focus with one camera, the mechanism also focuses the other and aligns the images. You can choose to see the visible, IR, combined, or (I think) a sort of picture-in-picture setup. It's built beautifully like this Vevor and the *refurbished* price was around $600. I think it was $1200 new. (It also doubles as a club for subduing enemies.) Amazing what has appeared in just the past few years.

Good god that was a good film peel. 10/10

Zach just got called out by Marco. Happy worlds colliding

Thank you so much for the teardown. I have an Infiray C200 (very happy with it!) which has exactly the same outer casing, specs, functions and so on and I've been wondering how to open it, if it ever becomes necessary. Now I know, finally. I bought it about two years ago and I was a little too quick. Shortly after Infiray released an updated C210, that also offers live video output over USB, just like the Uni-T UTI260i.

Cool, I just got one of these cameras and now I can see what's inside. Thanks MR!

Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks, Marco! 😃 I hope they make a version with adjustable lenses! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Glad to know you're a fellow VoistarLabs enjoyer.

That support-heatsink was quite well made :o

6:29 the video file format is probably a raw h264 stream without a container

I didn't expect such high quality

Not one but TWO Marco Rep's videos in under 24 hours!

It might require milling down the heatsink a little, but I wonder if you could find a small Peltier TEC to go between the sensor and the heatsink?

I have the phone version and it has a focus ring. I absolutely love it, best purchase recently.

That's some serious engineering.

Looks great. As you mentioned a few features are missing, but I doubt this is going to take a long time now that china is able to produce these image sensors

Great video! Vevor often had high quality at excellent prices.

Vevor makes literally everything it's wild.

Hahaha, it took me quite a time to solve the screw puzzle. Incredible rubber engineering

Love the voidstar lab shoutout lol

Yes! New Video

Thanks for the hedgehog snippet, I think I need to take my camera while walking the dog at night as skunk lookout.

Physically identical to my Topdon TC004 but from what I can see the Vevor SC240M IR sensor res is 240x180 whilst the TC004 is 256x192. There are quite a few in this category, all sooo much alike and quoting different resolutions, and who knows who actually makes the hardware? FYI TC004 boot time = 28secs. PS. Be nice to see Mr. Marco Reps compare the two.......

I own one made by infiray itself - infiray C200 Pro. It's 1 to 1 outside, but in red-grey colors and ir resolution is a bit higher - 256x192. And there is a myriad of IR cameras by different brands with same hardware in and out. I guess infiray is just not shy of giving this device to any brand for it to stick it's own sticker on top

i recently bought a Vevor 10HP VDF it has got to be one of the chonkiest VFDs i have ever held, and that chonkiess was due to a massive aluminium heat sink internally really surprising quality for the price, because it was less than $200USD

I have a Dogee s98Pro for my phone. It has the same sensor built in, and ironically my only issue with the phone is the visible light cameras are straight out of 2005! The thermal camera is amazing though.

I really don't need one, but now i want one 😀 Maybe one day i get back into the clicky rooms in factories.

Thanks for reminding me I bought one of those Infiray phone dongles, took a video of the cats with it and promptly put it somewhere - now I can't find it. :P

hehehehe voidstar lab display, nice reference

Curious that another channel just got the smartphone dongle version, too. These must have just released for sale! The phone version is very appealing to me, although this stand-alone product looks very well made.

The whole Infiray thing is neat. I've been waiting on thermal cameras to drop in price and go up in resolution for a very long time. It's great we're FINALLY reaching commoditization. I wish I had seen this video before buying the P2 Pro, as the SC240M is a bit cheaper here in the US. That being said, the ability to use the P2 Pro on a computer is very nice. It's also absolutely TINY! So far I've been pretty impressed with it, aside from my first unit having weird issues and eventually failing. The second one has been flawless, though. Been using it to hunt down issues in an early switch mode power supply in an old Solartron multimeter, as well as reveal moisture in walls after a recent flood. Regarding the visible light camera and MSX-like functionality, it's almost not required. With the thermal imager being so high res, it's not at all difficult to make out features that FLIR units need MSX for.

High construction standards indeed....cheers

You missed the AvE style Stanley knife scraping on the plastic! Nylon or fibre reinforced? Great video, thanks Marco

A visor eye goggle setup would be ridiculously cool for night time dog walks not gonna lie!!!

Looks like a very nice product for the price ! Interesting

love the @VoidStar shoutout!

After buying a SC240N myself and taking it out with me on a bike ride at night I really feel your comment at 5:40 about AR thermal vision specs. It's amazing to play around with this camera. I have found that despite the supposedly limited temperature range of -20°C to 350°C, temperatures of almost 600°C can be measured with the SC240N (measured my toaster). In addition, the number of color palettes is limited with the SC240N. However, with the Infiray C200 software, you can read out the raw .irg files and select between 8 color palettes afterwards. Unfortunately, the seal on the lens cover of my camera was not inserted properly, so it swells out at the bottom and the IP54 rating is probably not met. That's why I'm currently in contact with customer service. Last but not least, I have a question about the lens. What is the recommended focal length for microelectronics? Edit: Vevor offered me a ~30 % refund and a focal length of 2 inches seems to be fine.

So when are you going to do the video on a DIY IR-guided missile now?

Would be interesting to reverse engineer the binary thats running on it and putting openipc on it to reduce the boottime and add other features like usb/wifi streaming

This video is not like other Marco Reps content. No info about UX - what about software on that thing? - can you define what temperature range you want to see (ie: let something very hot in in frame to be out of scale and focus only on stuff between say 10 and 20C)? - can you change color scheme - how often does mechanical shutter activate to calibrate this thing Thermal cameras from Asia with 25fps aren't a new thing, just look at what HTI offers. Looks like HT-301 is very similar to T3S-Pro.

Very nice, I'm glowing pseudocolor white with envy. I'm guessing the die cast frame is actually a zinc alloy.

As other comments have said, you should use ffmpeg (or MKVMerge) to wrap the file in a standard MKV and it should fix the issue without losing data to transcoding.

7:13 your AC only cools down the ceiling 😂😂😂

I have the P2 dongle, but without the extra clip on macro lens. Still, its a fantastic tool!

I've always gotten along with alcohol and freeze spray. Though an IR camera would be a nice luxury. If you buy the gum remover sold to carpet cleaners freeze spray is WAY cheaper. Find a janitorial supply and buy a case of a dozen.

I would love to see what this sensor could do with a Peltier cooler

Excellent. I need to bolt one of those to my robot,

This sure looks like a rebranded A-BF RX680 I bought couple of years ago.

There is a guy on the eevblog forum that has made pc software for the infiray dongles that gives full control. I just haven't found a eu distributor of infiray.

Has anyone managed to find the difference to the orignal from Infiray with 256x192@25Hz? Can the Infiray firmware be used to upgrade Vevor?

Holy crap, I bought this last winter for our company for electronics work. Macro would be nice but it works really well. We bought the infiray C200 Pro. This is clearly a white label version. I'm blown away by the build quality inside.

Looks good will have to pick one up. Hopefully not a bait and switch at that price.

You can probably workaround the h264 files, skipping transcoding, by putting it in a container google mp4box and/or mkvmerge (prefer mkvmerge) and use the h264 as the video stream to output a .mp4 or .mkv that should be open-able by any video editor.

8:54 UJ got me dead 💀

Would you ask for a review sample of T2S+ from InfiRay?

Hi, Anyone know how this SC240M compare with UTi260B?

Just asking... have you tried connecting it to USB, without the SC card plugged in?

A screw on macro lend would be a good addition indeed, but may only appear on higher end models. Nice looking widget!

I cursed at you when you dropped the IR on the floor lol

Was the shown IR Software ThermoVision_JoeC used with the suggested Inifiray P2 or with a Seek Sensor? Is there a trick to get the Infiray working under the Software, because out of the Box mine didnt work :)

How many cycles are the calibration shutters rated for? How often does it use the shutter?

TWO VIDEOS??? idk if I can handle this

I hesitate with the smart phone one, can you see in black and white with this one?

How often does it it recalibrates? My is like 3-5 times recalibrating at start.

Dude that is exactly what i was looking for. now hope you didn't get special one of reviewer model.

Pretty nice review ... what do you recommend for a Thermo camera For viewing circuit boards smaller components ?

Are you going to make that automatic tool changer for your CNC yet?

I have a Seek and I feel inadequate now

"how does this only cost $300?" because all of the items that cost $800+ don't actually cost $800+. You are probably spot on the money that this thing is priced with thin margins to get its name out there. Half the cost is probably in the die cast aluminum and thermal sensor. everything else is pennies and dollars

Hello, do you have an idea why the Vevor is advertised as a 240x180 pixels while the C200 or Topdon are advertised as 240x192 ... pixels ...

I thought that vevor was just a cheap dropshipping company, but I'm surprised to see they actually make decent tools!

Has anyone figured out what the image "Alignment" settings (0.5 -- 3.0) mean?

"Record the frequency: Yes / No?" Is that the yes/no for the visible light?

Handbrake is wonderful. It's basically just a GUI for the features you actually care about in FFMPEG

Vevor is like ACME, isnt it?! From Vevor i've got an rig for my simracing-wheel :D

Hmm do they also give out the pins outs?

8:06 When are you getting (or making…an Open Source…) Industrial CT Scanner? Oh the reverse engineering one could do! Those pesky X-Rays do love messing with all my cells though…

Who is the manufacturer of the sensors? I want to buy the sensor and connect it with a RPI

As if we don't have enough cheap surveillance, this camera takes it to a whole new level.

I hate a flir e5 i hacked to full resolution, and while 320x240 is WAY better than what it was stock, that frame rate is just unbearable. I always wondered why, but now I know thank to you! danke

Yes, but how many ppms does it have?

Hi how you can make videos from camera vevor? I have buy and u can first photo (little quality pixels). How you can record video from these termal camera???, please helped me fast

And it needs a 1/4-20 female thread at the base of the handle, so you can pop it on a cheap tripod.

More like a Marco lens, am I right?

Heat sinking on thermal module is weird, thermal pad contacts ribbon cable, not the module itself

I wonder what it's like against a Flir handheld, ie, if it's image is the same it's a massive bargain.

I like the video, but I miss the "Promoted" popup box.

I wonder why it seems like nobody has gone the route of using a hot/cold mirror to physically allign a visible and thermal IR sensor

Boot time doesn't seem that far off from my FLIR imager...

Hello Marco，have you tested our T3S thermal camera, it is better

One of those Ruggedized phones from China had thermal cameras with high fps, and the reviewers were thinking they were overocking some chipset, neat that it may be this!

I don’t know about these things with integrated battery… how about a TOPDON TC001? No battery, usb c (yes, you need your phone, but more resolution and your phone surely has a bigger display) 😉 PS: because it’s USB it works with nearly every OS. I just bought one and i think it will replace my older FLIR system…oh, and it even has some monitoring functionality my flir obviously hadn’t. And it’s even cheaper than your standalone device, you can get it for 210-230€

hey reps - take it from me that the P2 Pro is not the right one to get... the T2L is better version and it does not cost so much more from the right aliexpress seller(s). Often the price is reduced now and again. After the T2L then next step up is to get their T3S (aka T3Pro). Which is the correct successor to the T2L, just with their newer sensor. However T3S is unfortunately too expensive ATM. Since it is still relatively new out on the market.

Ah yes the smartphone version is still on my list.
