This is the Seek Thermal Compact XR, the upgraded version of the Seek Thermal Compact and the world's smallest thermal imager! The cameras are compatible with iOS and Android devices. Connect the Compact XR via the Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter Cable for Apple users. The Apple cable is approx. 10cm long (Apple Part Number MUQX3ZM/A) and can be purchased from the Apple Store or Apple dealers. Android users can plug into the Micro USB or USB-C ports.
Designed to plug directly into your device, the Compact XR delivers powerful, high-quality thermal imaging with 206 x 156-pixel resolution. It can be used in both day and nighttime conditions and thanks to exceptional performance over a distance of up to 1800 feet, this imager is ideal for use by conservationists and ecologists to track wildlife.
The Seek Thermal Compact XR is entirely controlled by the free Seek Thermal app which is available as a download from the App Store and Google Play Store. With this app, you can measure temperature with just a few degrees, test and measure specific temperature ranges, contrast and compare thermal and visual images and - via your smartphone's functionality - capture photos and video and share them with others via social media, emails and text messages.
It is highly recommended for use in a wide variety of different applications including law enforcement, night security, search and rescue, land surveillance and border protection, public safety and tactical support. It is also an ideal tool for security in factories and warehouses, residential properties and anywhere else!
Better yet - it never needs charging and will take its power directly from your smartphone! It'll also start up quickly, ensuring you never miss a thing.

*Notes on Compatibility
Please note that not all iOS and Android devices are compatible with the Seek Thermal CompactXR.
Please review all of the following information carefully to determine whether or not your device is compatible with the Seek Thermal Compact.
Any questions? Please call us directly.
Smartphone Case Compatibility
In some cases, thicker smartphone cases (especially ruggedized ones) will not provide enough clearance around the connection port. To use the camera you must either remove the case or attach the camera using an extender or adapter (sold separately).
Operating System Compatibility
You will require an iOS device running at least iOS 8.0 or an Android device running at least Android 4.3 to use this camera and the compatible app.
Please note that the Seek Thermal UT-EAA is designed for use with smartphones with a micro-USB slot running at least Android 4.3. Therefore it has not been tested but may work with many other HTC, LG, Sony Xperia and some Galaxy Tab models.
*Please note that Samsung phones, such as the S8 are supplied with adaptors which are not OTG enabled. Therefore you will need a separate adaptor with OTG (On The Go) capability to connect this Thermal Camera to your device.
NOTE: Android devices sometimes orient the micro-USB connector in different directions or locations. For correct usage, the USB port should be located on the bottom, with the widest portion of the port aligned with the back of your smartphone. Many LG and HTC devices orient the connector in the opposite direction, and many devices from Sony and Motorola often position the port on the side. In these cases, it is recommended to use a micro-USB cable or adapter to allow proper aiming and positioning of the camera (sold separately).
