Hey Baby secti what's going on everybody and I'm here with Keith from FLIR one or rather that's the name of the product from FLIR and he had a really cool product to show was here at the booth at you can see the booth behind us here for Android Authority and he wanted to kind of talk to us about it we thought was a really nice product so I'm gonna like Keith explain what exactly this little peripheral is that connects to a smartphone so let's go ahead and do a little bit about this yeah so this is the FLIR one thermal imaging camera it essentially allows you to see the invisible world of infrared light we call it super powers it turns your Smartphone into a brilliant phone so at CES this year we've launched two versions this is the pro version here you'll be available in the second quarter for $399 and then we have a entry-level model that's $199 okay so it always it's always nice to have a different way of looking at things you know infrared heat vision some like that as they said they call it super powers but I guess the main question that would be on a lot of people's minds is what kind of applications are we looking for for a thermal or rather an infrared imaging camera like this yeah so the primary applications would be DIY do-it-yourself activity so checking windows and doors for drafts energy efficiency you can also use it for vermin infestation it can detect heat including bees nests and what have you it's also great for detecting water leaks even finding studs on exterior walls it's also good for finding blockages you can also use it in car maintenance Diagnostics if you're having a blockage in your a/c or heat system you'd be able to type that pretty easily with this device and really the possibilities are endless so what kind of technology I can see on the peripheral here they have a couple cameras there what exactly is what exactly is the tech that's causing this to happen yeah so there's essentially it's a two camera system okay so there's a thermal imaging camera here it's called the lefthand thermal imaging sensor and then we have a 2-megapixel visible camera so we have this process called multi spectral imaging also known as MSX that basically embosses the edge detail of the visible camera onto the thermal data so it gives you a richer and a lot more richer image and a lot more context okay well I'm sure there's going to be some b-roll of the application itself the FLIR one if I'm coming that's correct so the app will be able to record the video and to request a photos but in either sense right so the regular camera will be able to take regular photos but then you can always overlay the imprint on top yeah okay yeah so you can actually you shoot in just thermal imaging and then you can also shoot in the visible with just the visible camera and then you can do the MSX so that's really three ways that you can use this device okay I'm looking at the peripheral right now and I notice it's a USB C port plug yeah so from what I remember after after Keith came earlier to show us the product he was using a Google pixel so with that in mind I have my pixel which is actually right here and you'll be seeing footage right now of the show floor here at CES we're just walking through the show floor and I'll be cutting in and out as you can see here with the thermal camera with the FLIR one and with my camera so you can kind of see the difference there so aside from applications when it comes to consumer grade products like this what kind of price point have you guys put on here for Africa tumors yeah so for the entry-level consumer model that's $199 and that's the least expensive thermal imaging camera ever created oh great very exciting and then we have an upgraded 399 version called the FLIR one Pro and this provides a little bit better image processing there's more diagnostic capabilities and also OneTouch reporting so if you're a plumber or electrician and you notice a problem you can take a picture and then produce a report and then send it to your client and let them know the issue okay I'm guessing you may or may not have different plugs for other phones as well I know USBC is the future but there are some micro USB micro USB out there yes so that's something that we're discussing right now actually and we may include an adapter with this device that will allow you to go from usb see to micro USB okay any plans in the future for because I've been saying this for a few different peripherals where it's it would be great to see for example 360 cameras or even just different kinds of cameras built into smartphones yeah we would youwould you be would like is that in the plans at all to see this kind of technology at least from your standpoint I got built into a phone yeah actually that's already happened oh there is the cat s60 Android from headphones yeah produced by a company called Bullock grouping it's a phenomenal device and it's basically a filly r1 embedded into an Android watch yeah that's great all right wonderful oh one thing I should have asked earlier you gave us the price points but where can the people find these devices or many vendors or online Amazon you guys website yeah so this this device will be available later this year but we do have what we call the FLIR one generation 2 available ok and you can buy that clear calm amazon bestbuy.com also will be oh that's great yeah so I can't say what the distribution is more yet for this device of course but you can expect something soon okay great well hopefully you're seeing the image right now of the difference between a regular pixel camera and then you'll be able to see everything with your super powers through they through the infrared imaging of the FLIR one keep it to to Android authority for this and even more wonderful little accessories and peripherals like this taking a little bit of out of box thinking that way you have a different way of actually experiencing your smartphone's then Keith thank you so much for coming by you have a safe flight back I know that the snowstorm is gonna be a little bit rough on you yeah I was actually supposed to go back last night oh yeah exactly that's why he's here with us so it all worked out in the end yeah I kind of worked that so hopefully you guys enjoyed that and all of our coverage here at CES 2017 make sure you keep it tuned to Android thority and all of our properties for even more because we are your source for everything and your and more
