Caterpillar offers phone with built-in FLIR camera
I used the S62 as a daily driver for a couple of years and it was fairly decent. The convenience of having a thermal camera in your pocket at all times was remarkable, and it&#x27;s one of those things you kind of miss when it&#x27;s gone (my daily use for it was checking if the coffee was cool enough to drink--yes, I know my tasting organs provide much of the same functionality...) However, the resolution of the thermal camera wasn&#x27;t particularly great, and the 9 fps refresh rate was also a bit limiting. Still, for checking for drafts, occasional electronics repairs and a general party trick it was great.<p>Eventually I got a new phone from work, which I grudgingly accepted since I wanted Android 12 and a better visible-light camera, but I missed the thermal cam sufficiently that I got an Infiray P2 off Ali as a plug-in substitute. The resolution and refresh rate are a lot better than the Cat, but having to carry an extra dongle (and plugging it in, starting the app, restarting the app when it crashes...) sometimes makes me consider going back. If&#x2F;when Cat makes a successor, I&#x27;d be very tempted to get it.<p>Edit: The usb-c cam in question for those who are interested <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.infiray.com&#x2F;p2-pro-thermal-camera-for-smartphone.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.infiray.com&#x2F;p2-pro-thermal-camera-for-smartphone...</a> (available from the usual suspects)
