F2W Thermal Camera 256x192 IR Resolution, Thermal Imaging Camera with W-Fi, Super Resolution Image Enhance,-4°F to 1022°F,640x480 3.2" Screen Thermal Imager with 16 GB Storage, Carrying Case

I recently tested a thermal camera, and it truly impressed with its versatility and performance. The image quality is sharp, even in complete darkness, revealing temperature differences with remarkable clarity. The device excels at detecting heat signatures, whether for home inspections, wildlife observation, or industrial use. Its user-friendly interface and quick startup time make it accessible for both professionals and hobbyists. The battery life is solid, and the adjustable temperature range adds flexibility for various tasks. Overall, it’s a reliable tool that delivers accurate readings and detailed thermal imagery at a competitive price point.

Without a doubt, this is a true thermal camera. Excellent value. Shows 3 temperatures: lowest point on the screen, highest point, and center point. Has different imaging modes of which the most useful are color and grayscale. For grayscale, you can set white as hot or black as hot. It has a "high-res" mode which doesn't look any different, so I don't use it. The resolution is good either way. Seems to be built well and feels like a quality product. You can use it out of the box or you can adjust features in a menu system. You can take still pictures of what the screen is showing. I would buy it again.

As a long-time gadget enthusiast, dating back to the days of the Apple IIc and 5.25" floppy disks, I've always been intrigued by innovative technology. For years, I’ve wanted to own a Flir or Fluke thermal imaging camera. I even came close to purchasing the Flir E8 before discovering this model. Since it was on sale, I decided to start with something less advanced as a way to familiarize myself with thermal imaging technology.Unboxing the camera was a pleasant surprise—it required minimal setup. After switching the settings from Celsius to Fahrenheit and updating the time and date, it was ready to use. The simplicity of the plug-and-play functionality exceeded my expectations.I purchased this camera primarily to identify and address cold spots in my home, and it delivered impressively. While I had always been aware of some chilly areas, seeing them quantified at 48°F was truly eye-opening. If you’re dealing with a similar issue or are looking for a solid entry-level thermal imaging camera before investing in a more professional-grade model, this is an excellent choice.The experience has been both practical and enjoyable. Walking through my home, identifying problem areas, and planning projects has been unexpectedly satisfying. I’m excited to resolve these cold spots and witness the improvement in real time. This camera has proven to be a fantastic starting point, and I’m thrilled with the results so far.

I previously owned a FLIR One Gen 3, and started having the battery issues that plague it. Its thermal resolution was poor, but it was usable due to the visual image overlay. It never had great battery life, and it was, of course, chained to the particular phone that the adapter fit. The FLIR One is made in China, and FLIR does not repair or offer parts for it past their 2 year warranty. So I wasn't too happy with FLIR. I looked at FLIR's stand-alone models, but they are extremely expensive for anything that has a bigger/better battery and improved thermal resolution.So I took a look at other brand's IR cameras, and stumbled upon the HFSTools F2W. I've only been using it a couple of days, but it is clearly a much better value than what FLIR has to offer. The IR resolution is significantly better than the FLIR ONE Gen 3, so much so that for the vast majority of situations, I don't miss the visual overlay at all. It just isn't necessary because the clarity of the HFSTools image is so much better. The ability to detect minor temperature differences seems better as well. It boots up much faster than the FLIR. And it isn't chained to a phone, which is ergonomically awkward in use.The downloadable software is adequate, not quite as smooth as FLIR, but it does what I need it to.A caveat, though, is that if you need to print reports to document your results (say, if you are a home inspector or plant manager), I think that the visual overlay would be necessary, to make it easier for the client/supervisor to understand what they are looking at. An example would be an image of a duct outlet on an otherwise thermally uniform wall--which wall is it on? If you need that functionality (I don't), I would recommend the HFSTools F2VW instead , for $90 more, which has the visual overlay capability. I thought about getting that one; but I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money, the visual overlay isn't necessary to see what I need to see.The manufacturer states that all HSFTOOLS products are backed by a 12-month warranty and lifetime E-mail technical support.To summarize, I am impressed with the HFSTools F2W, and am glad I did not go down the FLIR path again. I highly recommend the F2W.

I bought a lower end model of the HSFTools thermal imager and wasn't happy with it so I returned it. The laser did not work and it was difficult to tell what part of the wall the imager was pointing to.I ordered this after returning the HF96 after seeing the review. I know someone who has a Flir that costs over twice as much as this imager and I think the H2W has a better image. Documentation was adequate but you may need reading glasses if your eyes are like mine.The only thing I am concerned with is HSFTools imagers are fairly new so I could not find much information on their reliability. The factory and contact information is in Vietnam with no US location so getting warranty replacements or repairs might be difficult.The 5 star rating is based solely on functionality and the quality of the image. Very easy to setup and make adjustment to the distance from target, image color palet, sensitivity and temperature settings.
