Thermal Camera Sources and Methods

Several people have asked what camera I used to take the thermal pictures of my hives. They have asked, “what else can it do that will help me justify the expense to my skeptical ‘wife, husband, partner, friends.’ ” 

In addition to taking pics of the hives, I have used it to:
1) identify areas of heat loss around my doors and windows;
2) figure out where the squirrels taking nesting materials to my roof are nesting;
3) take thermal pics of electrical switches and outlets to identify potentially hazardous wiring errors; and, 
4) look for mice in my shed without having to clean everything out.

Clicking on the Amazon link below will take you to the camera that I used to take the thermal pictures of my bee hives. It is a FLIR One Pro. It attaches to your smart phone. Models are available for iPhones and Android phones. I assume that they will also work with some other phones, but I don’t know.
