SEEK Thermal lost my support after displaying total disinterest in communicating with their user base. Their product has some serious image quality issues in its intended deployment on a phone and using their app. They could have improved the app in the same way as others have written excellent programs for use with different hosts here. SEEK Thermal had the opportunity to produce a really great little thermal camera. IMHO, they dropped the ball early on in the game and have yet to sort themselves out. This has given FLIR time to release a decent competitor to the SEEK cameras.
Very active threads can exist for many reasons, some good, some bad. If a product is great and encourages much discussion, as in the case of the E4 it is a good sign. If a thread is active because the user base has serious issues with a product and cannot gain satisfaction from the OEM, leading to community support only, that is bad. I feel that this thread falls into the latter case.
Fortunately some clever forum members have overcome many of the SEEK cameras issues using programs running on a different host to that intended for the camera. This does not help users who wish to use the camera on a phone though.
Let us also not forget the hardware limitations that software cannot address.I have never before met such a thermally unstable microbolometer as that used in the SEEK. The repetition rate of the FFC shutter is just plain crazy ! FLIR are using 12um technology in the F1G2 and the FFC shutter operates in the he same fashion as on larger cameras..... Infrequently. Users can even select manual FFC where they decide if or when to use the shutter. The F1G2 camera uses dynamic flat field correction when the shutter is disabled.
