FLIR ONE F.A.Q.
What is the FLIR ONE?
Available in two new second generation models mid year,
FLIR ONE is a thermal camera that attaches to Android or
iOS devices that visualize the otherwise hidden world of
heat. Equipped with an enhanced Lepton thermal camera
core, the FLIR ONE combines visible and thermal images
together using a patented technology called MSX to make
the thermal image crisper and more recognizable.
Everything around us is either emitting or reflecting
thermal energy and with the ability to see it and measure it
on a mobile device, we can interact with and understand it
in useful, interesting and fun ways. FLIR ONE extends
human vision. It is the new sixth sense.
!
How are the new FLIR ONEs better than the original?
Available in either iOS or Android hardware versions, FLIR
ONE features:
• A more powerful thermal sensor with four times the
resolution for crisper and clearer thermal images.
• Automatic tuning. There is no need to manually
tune the device for optimum use.
• A lighter-weight design that is less than a third the
weight of the original.
The device retains its own dedicated battery and has the
side-by-side visible and thermal cameras. When combined
through MSX, the software dramatically increase a user’s
ability to interpret a thermal image in real-world
environments.
!
How should I refer to the new FLIR ONE?
Two new second-generation FLIR ONE models will be
available. One compatible with Android phones that use
the Micro USB interface, and one for Apple iOS devices
that use the Lightning connector. These products will be
known as FLIR ONE for Android and FLIR ONE for iOS,
respectively. Refer top the original FLIR ONE as the first
generation FLIR ONE.

innovative and useful apps for the FLIR ONE. Developers are encouraged to join the program to gain access
to FLIR ONE development tools, resources and training to become a FLIR Certified Developer. The new
FLIR Approved Applications program gives developers access to additional resources and tools to make
their apps as compelling as possible and gives consumers some assurance that apps bearing the FLIR
Approved Applications badge have been reviewed by FLIR and deliver thermal imaging benefits to
consumers.

Where can I get the FLIR ONE SDK?
An updated FLIR ONE SDK for the iOS platform is available at http://www.flir.com/flirone/developer, which is
compatible with the original FLIR ONE and the new FLIR ONE for iOS. A new SDK for FLIR ONE for Android
is in beta now and will be publicly available in July. With the FLIR ONE SDKs, developers have access to
absolute temperature data for all pixels and control the Lepton camera’s shutter mode, in both manual and
automatic settings.
