I’m looking for something like this TOPDON TC004 Mini Thermal Imaging Camera, except ideally I’d like one that runs on (rechargeable) AA batteries. Does such a device exist?
EDIT: To clarify, my real requirement is for the battery to be replaceable. Doesn’t have to be AA specifically. I just want something where if the battery goes bad, I’m not left with a very expensive paper weight.
?? It comes with a rechargeable battery.
I looking for one w/o the battery built-in so that if the battery ever goes bad, I don’t have to discard the entire device. Not sure if such a device exists, but my thinking is if I find one that runs on AA batteries, then I can use my existing fleet of rechargeable AAs. Doesn’t have to be AAs, though, really any replaceable battery will do.
That is also depending on your budget.
The Bosch infrared camera fits your needs, but the price is high. It has ‘normal’ Bosch battery packs, rechargable and swappable.
Pictures have a good quality (still small, it’s an infrared camera after all). But the calibration time is quite long and happens often, especially when the outside temperature changes a lot (going inside/outside). Annoying, but probably necessary.
