New Seek Thermal Camera Makes<br />

It Easy to Focus In On Your Target<br />

Seek Thermal has just announced the<br />

Seek XR, an extended range version of its<br />

award-winning thermal camera. Created<br />

with outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the<br />

Seek XR allows people to literally see<br />

heat, making it possible to spot people<br />

and animals in total darkness. For hunters,<br />

the Seek XR can be used in daylight,<br />

the dark, or in obscured visibility conditions.<br />

It’s useful for scouting, bloodtrailing,<br />

hunting game, and much more.<br />

The new Seek XR has a manual focus<br />

lens for viewing objects at close range,<br />

or at distances of up to 2,000 feet. Until<br />

recently, the price of thermal imaging has<br />

kept it out of reach for almost everybody<br />

except military and law enforcement. The<br />

Seek XR will be available in January for<br />

both iOS and Android devices for $299<br />

at www.thermal.com Thermal imaging<br />

converts heat energy into an image that<br />

can be seen with the human eye. Traditionally,<br />

thermal cameras costing several<br />

thousand dollars and up have been used<br />

by firefighters, law enforcement and<br />

the military to see through smoke or in<br />

complete darkness. Seek Thermal has<br />

pioneered the next generation of thermal<br />

imaging technology sized and priced for<br />

the everyday consumer. The Seek camera<br />

is a small device that plugs into the<br />

micro USB connector on Android devices<br />

and the LightningTM connector on iOS<br />

devices. A durable magnesium housing<br />

protects a next-generation thermal sensor<br />

and custom chalcogenide lens. It weighs<br />

only 0.5 ounces and creates true thermal<br />

images with a resolution of 206x156, or<br />

over 32,000 thermal pixels. Prior to today<br />

this kind of resolution was only available<br />

in cameras costing several thousand<br />

dollars and up. The Seek camera works<br />

with a free app that is available in the<br />

Apple App store and on Google Play. The<br />

app makes it easy for people to get started<br />

with thermal imaging, while also including<br />

a range of controls substantial enough<br />

for people who use the camera for serious<br />

work or serious fun. App features include;<br />

capture and share thermal photos and<br />

videos, select from different temperature<br />

measurement modes including the ability<br />

to automatically highlight everything in<br />

the scene that is above or below a specified<br />

temperature and select from nine<br />

different color palettes. Technically called<br />

“LUTs,” there are different color ranges<br />

that can be applied to temperature measurements.<br />

You can also swipe seamlessly<br />

back and forth between a regular and a<br />

thermal image in Thermal+ mode. For<br />
