Ta for the reply :)
I'd not really thought too much about other uses, but electronics
stuff would be cool.
It'd be a good thing to have as a shared tool, as you'd only use it
every now and then, in a, hunting the cold air leaks and fixing them,
sort of way. It feels like more accurately targeting insulation
changes would make energy saving investments more cost effective.
I had wondered if the MLX90640 Thermal Camera with a Pi would be good
for tracking wildlife, motion capture, but since it's only 32x24
pixels the beasties would have to be quite big or quite close. Don't
think it'd work for bats, for example.

I have no experience with them, but wish I had in the current economic climate.
I see a good business case for getting one of these in the space, as they could be used
by members fir monitoring their personal home leakage, while in the space they could help
to identify any electronics that may go work incorrectly.
What do you think?

Hi
I've been looking at thermal imaging cameras lately, to help improve
the energy efficiency of our home. It's probably a bit daft living in
a large-ish 150 year old house, but that's done already, so, hmm.
Re energy saving, the conference videos from Saving Energy Aberdeen
were handy, if a little dry and heavy going, four and a half hours in
two parts, on "Saving Energy in Traditional NE Homes" at...

Anyway, I've been looking at the rugged cameras which are pretty
pricey, the USB phone ones from Flir, Seek and Prime, make-it-yourself
kits, and renting one.
Aye, so I've no idea whether it's a good idea, if the cheaper ones are
still useful, if it'll save money enough to pay for itself. Anyone
have any ideas or experiences?
Thanks :)
