DIY Thermocam is an open-source project for those who want to build their own thermal imaging camera that takes both stills and movies. Drawings, instructions and software are available for free download, but the camera can also be supplied as a complete kit with about 100 components according to the project website can be assembled in a few hours with a soldering iron and some pliers and screwdrivers.
The kit costs the equivalent 4000 SEK and has reportedly data that measure with a commercial infrared camera that costs twice as much.
For those who do not want to build yourself is also DIY Thermocam fully assembled and tested for the corresponding 5600 crowns. Additionally, all components of the camera Supplied individually.
Applications for the camera, for example, to check the insulation and find heat leaks in the house, examine the electrical and mechanical components, or find people and animals in the dark.
The sensor that measures the heat in the form of infrared radiation at temperatures between -40 and 150 degrees Celsius has a resolution of 80 x 60 pixels and a sensitivity better than 0.05 degrees Celsius. The infrared camera also has a built ordinary camera of 640 x 480 pixels whose pictures can be mixed with images from the heat sensor. In addition there is an additional built-in heat sensor for point measurements in the temperature range of -70 to 380 degrees Celsius.
