## Description

Seek Thermal compact-all-purpose thermal imaging camera for Android USB

Review: Works with OnePlus devices after this fix - To use with OnePlus devices, go to Settings, then System, then turn on "OTG storage". It will turn back off again after 10 minutes of not being used, so you'll need to go do this again every time you want to use the Seek. What are you actually enabling? "OTG storage" really isn't storage, it's simply enabling the phone's USB port to power external devices, which could be an external storage device. Or a thermal camera. Regrettably, I already RMA'd one unit which probably would have worked just fine if I'd have discovered this trick beforehand. I called desertcart Tech Support regarding this issue and they had no fix for it, and did the RMA without my asking for it. That was good customer service to offer to immediately send a new unit, but having just a little bit more information on hand regarding this device would have saved a lot of trouble with the return. The manual which comes with the camera is useless, and it was surprisingly difficult to find the fix for this issue using Google. Outside of this small hack to get it to work with my OnePlus 6, I'm shocked at how well it works. It'll be all I need to find hot (or dead) components in my solar electric systems. One quirk is that in 16:9 ratio the menu options are hidden by the Home buttons, so I had to change the aspect ratio to 4:3 and now the menus all work just fine.
Review: Fully compatible with iPhone 15 Pro - Works well on iPhone 15 Pro. If not, try updating your iOS. Image quality isn't that great for a cheap product, and it would be easier to distinguish if it overlaid a realistic image like FLIR does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with OnePlus devices after this fix

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fully compatible with iPhone 15 Pro
*by J***G on November 5, 2023*

Works well on iPhone 15 Pro. If not, try updating your iOS. Image quality isn't that great for a cheap product, and it would be easier to distinguish if it overlaid a realistic image like FLIR does.

### ⭐ Will not work with Android 14 or later, USB-C connector too short
*by M***S on November 30, 2024*

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Android 14. Cannot download app required by camera due to "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android" (see screenshot). Also, other reviews are correct about having to remove the phone case just to plug the device in, I don't care how thin your case nay be, it is obvious that the USB-C connector is just barely evening enough to make a connection with no case on the phone at all. It's been a long time since I've been so badly duped by a product. Zero stars, and I'll never even consider purchasing a Seek device again because its obvious they overlook serious design flaws and do not maintain their software, so why risk hundreds of dollars on a device that might not ever work again when a new version of Android comes out?
