As a home inspector, my toolbox includes a variety of testing and measuring tools: screw drivers, nut drivers, framing square, concrete and wood moisture meters, temperaturehumidity meters, multi-meters, GFCI & AFCI testers, infrared and probe thermometers, binoculars and a couple of really nice digital cameras to document the appearance of the residence or structure.

Two hands required for a thermal temperature picture, one holding a digital IR thermometer directed at the object while aligning the camera with my other hand to “capture” the reading works well enough; however, a lightweight IR camera attachment to my cell phone is quicker and gives my client a true visual representation of temperature variance.

During a recent home inspection with the house temperature set at 75 and the exterior temperature 61 (picture 1), I felt a breeze several inches away from the chipped plaster above the receptacle and wanted to know more. Placing my anemometer meter at the opening, a 3 mph wind speed was recorded, the draft I felt several inches away. A wide view of the wall was provided by the K&F Concept IR camera that displayed a 9 degree wall temperature difference within 24” inch span (lack of or missing insulation). Removing the cover and receptacle (outlet), I was able to easily insert the lens for a look behind the wall. As the pictures captured, there was no insulation directly behind the receptacle box, above (bent the lens cable upward) and below using the side view camera. The red, yellow, blue, green IR picture is the outside (fiber cement siding). The exterior outlet aligns with the cold spot to the right of the interior outlet and the blue in the upper right corner is the interior outlet. I did not attempt to locate the source of the air leakage, annotating in my report further evaluation by a licensed contractor for options and cost. The nine pictures provided by the K&F Concept and IR camera provide a more comprehensive visual understanding than a mere draft from the outlet.

What is the water bottle for?
I drilled a hole on each end, passed the cable through secured with tape making a lens “stand off” for better observation looking in HVAC duct. With the rounded bottle, I’ve gone 14 feet without getting stuck.

The IR camera comes in a protective small semi-hard case, easy to use with the ability to annotate comments directly onto each picture.

The scope is lightweight and easy to use. All functions (picture, video, light, etc.) controlled by your thumb, except for the side view camera switch which is at the base of the cable. Packaged in a protective hard plastic case, with two metal latches and top and bottom foam padding cut to fit the cable, camera, USB cable and three included lens attachment options is more than adequate. A small magnet, 90 degree mirror and hook to fish wire, or “I dropped my ring in the drain” recovery tool are nice additions.

Providing two options for image transfer (one via the provided USB cable or by removing the mini SD card) gives the user flexibility.

As a home inspector, having a “third eye” is nice to answer any lingering questions regarding temperature and other issues: wall cavities, HVAC units, duct, vents, smoke chamber, chimney…

Adding the K&F Concept infrared thermal camera attachment to my tool inventory will allow more accurate reporting. Well worth the investment.

This camera is amazing and provides the exact picture you require when working behind walls. I just purchased a home and had no idea what was behind the wall in order to cut in and place a new TV on the built in wall unit. This camera saved me a lot of money and extra work. Both of my friends that assisted with the installation purchased their own camera after using my Teslog Camera.

The camera, front and side are good so far. With the side camera you have to be closer to the object to see it clearly than with the front camera. The cable is rel. stiff, so good for inserting into pipes etc. However, in my drain I had to find out that the camera always got somewhere on the wall, got dirty there and therefore you couldn't see anything. Professionals have a fixation (grid or similar) around the camera so that it always stays away from the wall. You would have to have something with you, that would be even better. However, you will also have the problem with the other cameras. The pictures themselves are quite good for me so far. Anyone who needs something like this is well served here.

had to explore the very narrow space behind the back of my refrigerator and the back wall. Since the cable is flexible, it wouldn't go exactly where I wanted it to go. I tied the cable near the end of the camera to a thin 1/4 inch round plastic rod, 2 feet long, with plastic ties. Now I could maneuver the camera and look at all the areas I wanted to see. There are numerous uses for which it can be put. I've also used it to check the condition of the exterior trim on my windows without having to climb a ladder.

All in all a very good camera for the price!

This is a solar powered security camera. The app to download is called Ubox. The app is easy to set up.
The solar panel must face the sun to keep the built-in rechargeable batteries fully charged. The installation process took 20 minutes as I had to drill holes in a concrete wall. I used my own reinforced screws as the screws provided by the seller are only suitable for stucco and wood. It's a bonus that the camera didn't need to install power cords or ethernet cables. The only cable that needed to be attached to the wall was the one from the solar panel to the camera. The camera pans and moves from the phone and a second camera is not required to see the front of the house. The pan and tilt functions are definitely a plus, as is the built-in intercom. Using the phone app, I can talk to anyone in real time, standing in front of the security camera. The camera automatically records every move to an included (another bonus) 64G microSD card (up to 128G but not included) or cloud storage that's only free for 7 days. Overall, this security camera is a good option to add some security to your home. The video quality is good and the camera is worth the money.
