The TOPDON TC001 is a plug-in thermal camera module that turns an Android phone, tablet or Windows laptop into a thermal imager through the TCView app. Its 256x192 IR sensor gives clear heat maps, and at 30 g and 71x42x14 mm it slips into a pocket. It suits inspectors, HVAC and electrical techs, mechanics and anyone chasing heat faults around a home or farm. Against pricier handheld thermal cameras it trades a built-in screen and battery for using the phone you already carry, and it is rated well by a large pool of buyers.

Buyers rate the TC001 highly, praising its clear thermal images and easy plug-in setup for the money. Complaints center on app quirks and the Android-only limitation.
The TOPDON TC001 is a portable thermal imaging camera that plugs into the USB-C port of an Android phone or tablet. It also works with a Windows laptop or tablet. Android users download the companion app, and Windows users use the TCView app from the TOPDON website.
It has a 256x192 pixel infrared resolution and measures from -20°C to 550°C (-4°F to 1022°F). It is powered by the connected device and draws only 0.35W. It is plug and play, and no registration is needed if you only read temperatures.
The app shows real-time temperature graphs and recorded temperature data. It can record continuous measurements and produce a waveform graph of the high, low and average temperatures over a set period. Users can set upper and lower temperature limits with matching colors. It includes 10 color palettes, sharpness and contrast adjustment, and picture-in-picture. It is used for jobs such as insulation, water leak, cylinder and HVAC system inspections, and for checking circuit boards and other electronics. It may not fit all phone or tablet cases, so the included extension cable may be needed.
