FLIR ONE detects invisible heat energy, giving consumers the ability to “see” and measure minute variances in temperature. FLIR ONE enables a host of practical solutions for consumers — from detecting energy leaks at home to seeing in complete darkness. For the first time, FLIR ONE brings powerful energy saving and situational awareness capabilities to a smart phone platform. Integrating FLIR–s ground-breaking Lepton® thermal imaging micro-camera core plus a visible camera, the FLIR ONE provides FLIR–s patented MSX® Technology that brings sharp detail to the thermal images.
“After the positive reception received in the United States, we are excited to offer FLIR ONE to European customers,” said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR Systems. “FLIR is committed to providing the world–s sixth sense by bringing thermal imaging to consumers in an affordable, easy to use way.”

See at night, detect intruders, and see through light fog and smoke.

Users can capture either photos or videos and share them via text, email, or social media through the FLIR ONE app, which is available in the Apple App Store. In addition, a variety of artistic and functional FLIR ONE supporting apps are available in the Apple App store that allow users to take close-up photos, time-lapse video, panoramic photos, and hybrid thermal plus visible-light images.
