The Seek Shot Pro is a professional thermal imaging camera designed for capturing and analyzing thermal images and videos. It combines both thermal and visible light cameras to provide comprehensive imaging capabilities, making it a versatile tool for various applications where temperature analysis is crucial.
The primary function of the Seek Shot Pro is to detect and visualize heat signatures, allowing users to identify temperature differences and anomalies that are not visible to the naked eye. It achieves this through its integrated thermal camera, which captures infrared radiation emitted by objects. Alongside the thermal camera, a visible camera captures standard digital images, which can be combined with thermal data for enhanced context and detail. This dual-camera system enables the device to offer several viewing modes, including visible imaging, thermal imaging, and SeekFusion™ View, which overlays thermal and visible images in real-time.
The device is capable of capturing both still photos and videos. When capturing photos, a short press of the Capture button saves the thermal or combined image to the camera's gallery. For video recording, a long press initiates the recording, and a subsequent press stops it, with the video automatically saved to the gallery.
Beyond basic image capture, the Seek Shot Pro provides advanced temperature measurement and analysis tools. It can display the temperature at the center of the active scene (Center Temperature), create up to three repositionable temperature cross-hairs for specific spot measurements (Spot Temperature), and define up to three resizable and repositionable Regions of Interest (ROI) for temperature analysis within defined areas (Region Temperature). Additionally, it can quickly display both the highest and lowest temperatures within the active image (High/Low).
The camera also incorporates image processing modes to optimize viewing for different scenarios. High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode is ideal for scenes with extreme temperature differences, enhancing detail in both very hot and very cold areas. Precision Imaging Mode allows users to view and colorize an exact temperature range, highlighting specific temperature bands within the scene. This mode is particularly useful for detailed analysis where precise temperature differentiation is required.
The Seek Shot Pro is designed for ease of use with a touch screen interface and dedicated physical buttons.
To begin, users simply remove the camera from its packaging and charge the battery using the included USB cable. Powering on the device involves pressing and holding the Power button, located at the top of the camera, for 2-3 seconds.
The Capture button serves as the primary control for taking photos and recording videos. A quick press captures a photo, while a long press initiates video recording. Releasing the button continues the recording, and pressing it again stops and saves the video.
The device features a touch screen for intuitive navigation. Tapping the active display reveals the Quick Settings bar at the top of the screen, providing access to essential camera adjustments. These include:
Users can quickly set their preferred measurement units for temperature, such as Celsius or Fahrenheit. Emissivity, a crucial setting for accurate temperature readings, can be manually adjusted. Emissivity defines how much infrared light is reflected from a surface, and correctly setting this value ensures that the reported temperatures are precise.
The camera offers three distinct view modes, easily switchable via dedicated icons:
Several on-screen tools aid in temperature analysis:
The camera supports two key image processing modes:
In Precision mode, the Temperature Bar allows users to set, lock, and save custom temperature ranges. This means only temperatures within the specified range will be colorized, while temperatures outside it will appear as a solid color. The Temperature Bar automatically adjusts its range based on the active scene in both HDR and Precision modes. Users can lock the maximum or minimum temperature values by tapping the respective lock icons on the temperature bar. To set specific temperature values, users can tap the numbers at the top or bottom of the temperature bar, then use plus/minus icons or a keyboard to enter values. These custom settings can be saved as presets for future use.
The device offers a variety of color schemes (palettes) that can be applied to thermal images to enhance visualization. Users can tap the Color Icon and then select a desired palette to change the color representation of temperatures in the active scene.
The Image Gallery stores all captured photos and videos. Users can access it by tapping the image thumbnail on the camera's screen (lower left). Within the gallery, users can:
The manual primarily focuses on operational features, but certain aspects imply maintenance considerations:
Battery Charging: The device requires regular charging via the included USB cable, indicating that battery management is a routine maintenance task. The USB port also serves for data transfer, suggesting that regular data offloading might be part of maintenance to free up storage space.
Software Updates: While not explicitly detailed as a maintenance feature, the presence of WiFi settings and "Advanced Settings" often implies the possibility of firmware or software updates, which are common maintenance activities for electronic devices to improve performance or add features.
User Guides and Support: The "Help" section provides access to user guides, and the "Customer Support" information (FAQs, contact details) indicates resources for troubleshooting and resolving issues, which are integral to maintaining device functionality.
In summary, the Seek Shot Pro is a robust thermal imaging camera designed for professional use, offering a comprehensive suite of features for capturing, analyzing, and managing thermal data with a user-friendly interface.
