Illegal to grow, medical is a joke and possession still with a shitload of gray areas. Not sure how to really feel about it . Bad if you need it medically good if you are looking to pay bills.

I own a FLIR camera (not the one that hooks to your phone)

It will show you the heat signature pretty well. I use it for work but I've looked around the spot with it just to safeguard. It can't see through walls or anything like that.

It's only worth it if you need it for work. Otherwise rent it for a day from homedepot

passing thru I got this:

Has anyone made or has bought a thermal camera? I do a lot of flood repair in construction and want to make a tool that's cheaper than commercially available thermal imaging devices. If you know a company that can and would make them, please contact them ASAP.
If a company is making them, isn't that a commercial solution? What are you thinking is the price of commercially available devices? The ones you can attach to a iPhone 5 were only a couple to a few hundred dollars. I think they discontinued them and went to some general device that uses any smart phone, http://www.flir.com/flirone/ios-android/ . That's still $249 plus whatever else they charge to get it to you.

They also sell the bare parts for at least some of their devices and that could be attached, I suppose, to a pi. For security, that would be better than the phone integrated scheme since it could be mounted independently and there would be potential for more direct control. But for what you seem to be interested in, going onsite and seeing if there is flooding under concrete, in the walls and that sort of thing, the device at the link seems more usable.

I reading about all this again, I noticed that the Seek Thermal is a IR camera only but is a higher resolution than the FLIR devices. If you look at the bare parts at, say, Digikey, https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ ... ND/6250105 , the price is $199. I think this is the part they are using in their $249 whole system for smartphones. This is another reason why DIY is tough for this right now.

careful of the military grade flir cameras. They have been known to come with a visit from the fbi. seriously. The refresh rates on cevilian grade gear is much slower than military and they want to know what it is being used for.

Buy one rated for civilian use. You don't need the fast ones for still observations anyway.
