1st consumer-grade thermal camera

IR thermal cameras have never been cheap, low-resolution IR thermal cameras in Amazon.com usually cost USD $3K-$5K. In 2014 Las Vegas CES, FLIR announced the 1st consumer-grade thermal camera which can be attached to iPhone5. Its resolution is as low as 80x60 but its $349 price tag dropped a bombshell on the IR market and triggered 9,000 pre-order units in CES. I always wonder if there are any killer applications for IR cameras (except for car). Probably this FLIR low-cost camera on iPhone5 may have the crowd-pulling effect to provoke more IR applications.   FLIR microbolometer thermal camera
