Introduction
A Tiny Thermal Camera. A Big Step Forward.
An unseen world of energy surrounds us. It is part of everything we touch, see, and feel. This unseen world – specifically
levels of infrared energy, which our eyes can't detect – provides information that is incredibly useful for solving everyday
problems. Bringing to the table over 35 years of innovation, Seek Thermal's cofounding team – Dr. William Parrish and Tim
Fitzgibbons – knew that turning every smartphone into a high-powered thermal imaging device was groundbreaking and
could change lives.
Seek a New Advantage
By measuring very small temperature differences within the scene, invisible energy patterns are converted by our thermal
imagers into clear, visible images that the human eye can't always see. Since the energy we sense is not impacted by visible
light, our infrared thermal imagers can be used in both daylight and night conditions and across long distances.
The Compact Series
Seek currently makes three different Compact cameras that each come in Android and iPhone platforms. These three
different cameras each have particular uses and benefits as expressed by their feature set. Each of the platforms, Android or
iPhone requires a free app to perform. See the section that applies to you and your smartphone to see a discussion of the
two applications.
