Flir E4 Thermal imaging camera teardown

[JustMe]

Can anyone advise any online sellers (other than eBay) that offer the Flir E4 with firmware version 1.22?  Looks like tequipment is now selling version 2.3.

Hi all, I am new here but have read lots of posts. I purchased the e4 and got 1.2L with software version 2.1.0. Does that mean my unit does not have a solution to convert it to the e8? after reading lots of pages I am not clear if the hack will work with my unit or not, please advise

Modded to E8 on first try...10 minutes using this video


Everything works!

Thanks much!

Once again another huge thanks to @Marphy for the program and all who figured out the hack.

Successfully deflowered my 1.22.

  When did you order it and to where and I am thinking to order E4 from Tequipemnt ship to Canada?  If anyone know any seller in Canada?

ps: anyone know if this one on http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00FKD9DSW/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB can be hack?

I bought mine though shopflir.ca. It actually came from Optimum Energy Products Ltd out of Calgary but that was quite a while back and have no idea if they have new stock or not. Good luck!

  yes, shopflir.ca had in stock like 10+ for 995.00 Cdn and amazon.ca is selling 895.00 Cdn and I like amazon.ca price but I had never order anything from amazon.ca.   I am thinking go for amazon.ca price.

Got my Amazon order today with firmware 2.3.  Gonna pay the 4 bucks to return it.  Lost sale because of recent meddling by FLIR.  Would have bought one if I could get quality resolution for $1k, but not getting any kind of TIC in near future now.  Suck it!   Or take a better look at your sales data as things cool off now and consider opening back up the door.  Learn from the CPU folks.  An overclockable mid-range product gives better overall sales and increased market share even if a few high margin sales are lost as a result.

A few months ago, even a 80 x 60 resolution for $995 was a really good deal, but I guess the FLIR One (and future competing products) changes all that.

Hello, I have an awesome camera, FLIR E40 (without MSX).
Recently, through the youtube and the web site below, I noticed some important fact that is, the FLIR E40 can be utilized or changed to E60.



I have not only seen that video clip several time, but tried to connect computer to FLIR E40 by though USB cable.
However, the explanation being on that video clip made by use of FLIR E4 and therefore, the last process does not exist.
Also, I have seen some articles mentioning about the way of modification with configuration file.

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/2820/
but I don’t totally understand it because of the explanation saying just simple configuration so that it cannot be applicable to my camera.


ps

i want to download "flir e60 conf.cfg" where is it ?

I would take a chance that amazon.ca had new vintage stock for $895CDN but when I tried to order they indicated they cannot ship this item to my address in the United States.  Does Canada classify the USA as a terrorist country?

ok... so do I understand correctly that even if the resolution is higher and there are more colors,  if there's no MSX or crosshairs,  i did something wrong?

Hi,  no idea why you couldn't get it from amazon.ca  site and stock is low from 10 down to 7 by now.

Yes you messed up the config file. Most likely something with the CRC

Yes you messed up the config file. Most likely something with the CRC

also am I correct in thinking that to enable zoom and PIP I have to modify a couple lines of the CRC file?

No, but Amazon makes US customers buy from amazon.com.

Post or PM your original CFC and I will send you the correct config.cfc file.

thanks very much!
I fooled around a little bit with the CRC file and got MSX to work, but still no PIP or zoom..... 
and,  honestly,  I prefer thermal to MSX,  but I haven't tried it in gray which seems appropriate for night walking moreso than rainbow.
saving a separate jpg file shows only a black space and nothing is saved as a separatr photo from the IR image.   is this also a CRC issue?
is 'arctic'  the same as moisture?
