What would it take to add a video record feature to the e4. I want to put ut on my drone but the camera and the phone i think would be just too much weight. Or even a timer that would take pictures at a set amount of seconds. Thanks everyone
For easy video your looking at attaching another device to the USB port of the E4 can capture it's webcam video out. I believe others here have used RPI's for the task but I found a cheap HP Stream 7 windows tablet worked well for me. I don't recall if anyone got a phone working - but as long as it supported USB-OTG there is a chance it could work. I do remember seeing a pic here on the forum of some one that stripped down a E4 to just the internal frame to accomplish something similar but don't recall what they attached to it.
Hi. The problem im having is i cant press the capture button while its off the ground. I have the video working over Otg cable but all the weight and cables might be a problem. I wonder if someone could make script or somthing to record straight to the cameras storage. Or even take a picture every few seconds or so. It sure would help me out alot. Thanks
Im not necesarily looking for easy. Using the avaliable tools to do the modification to the menu and res was easy. Modifying the code not so easy. Atleast not for me
Based on my experience - forget about using e4 to record video internally.

There's no way to record video on the FLIR directly, there's no existing feature that has support for video so very likley the code for encoding video is simply not on the camera.
Easiest way would probably be to use a simple timer to trigger the capture button (short out the contacts underneath the membrane every X seconds)
But of course seek camera + phone would probably be much much easier for this.

This is not correct. I posted some variants
Nope, that requires the command to be sent externally, which OP is trying to avoid.
Is it possible to get UVC working on Android? I have tried but it looks like there's a flir-specific implementation and it does not show up in Android as a basic webcam.
If i had to add and delete a startup file to disable the script that would be fine. What could i do to make it just take a picture every 5 seconds own its own untill i power it down and remove the script or kill it from telnet. I like the idea of video too that would be great if it just powered on and started recording untill i shut it off. Could your video record script be tweaked to be initiated from telnet or on startup. In not looking for somthing fancy just enough to ge tthe job done thanks you

on my Flir Exx I wrote a trigger for a button, while hooking a function (here the reversed palette)
On the applaunch.dat file append a dos script

This works fine on Exx.
On Ex there are some barriers, like the checksum in applaunch.dat
Nope, that requires the command to be sent externally, which OP is trying to avoid.
with applaunch.dat you can start a script while booting the camera
okay so i got the seq file opened in flir tools but how can i save it in a different format so i can view it without flir tools. and how can i make it record for like 5-10 minutes. if thats not possible due to memory what could be changed to make it record a new seq file after the times up so they can be put into one main file. thankyou
the pi might do the trick. could you feed the video to it straight from the microbolometer. or better yet use the flirs lcd screen output as a video input.
Hi ,
I am new, just bought a used E4 off eBay. I thought it was a good idea, as it had 1.19.8 firmware inside which looks easiest to 'trick' :-)
I am new to thermography, and I have few questions I thought I might share:
- the 1.9 hack which involves sending the modified E8.cfg & camera.cmd files is safe I presume??.. Is there anything that might go wrong? What happens for example if the CRC is wrong? - Just being cautious with my new toy :-).
- Can I use the current version of FLIRInstallNet.exe or do I need some older version?
- this may be a stupid question, but I body heat seems to be off the 36.6C by about 4C. Why?
- is there any guideline for emissivity values to use?

That's the inside temperature, so you will have to cut yourself open and take a quick measurement to get to 36.6
So I'm thinking of getting a FLIR E4 and a few other things to finish off the lab build.
I've read several pages on this thread and I guess I have a few questions.
1. If I was to buy a new E4 what is the latest firmware and can the latest firmware be modded for the updated resolution?
2. I'm also looking at a used E4 running 2.3.X. I read some comments saying if the E4 was updated to 2.3 from 1.X then the mods might fail. Is this still true or has this been fixed?
I plan to still keep the FLIR One running on my iPod touch for videos, but a higher resolution would also be nice. I see some lens options for taking close up images, this will mostly be used for electronics to see what's dead shorting or running hot. I may even try some of the lens mods as well. Has anyone made a 3D print of an adapter for adding cheaper lenses on the E4 or any E serries?
Thanks in advanced for any answers,
Scott
I did it ! Many thanks Mike and all! :-)
Hey Guy's,
I'm very new with this topic and I was searching a little what is the best camera for less then 1000 bugs.
Therefore I'm strugeling to buy a new E4, but I'm not sure if it's possible to hack.
Is 2.11 the latest firmeware and is it possible to do the downgrade / hack with this version.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks a lot for your feedback

Hi there,
I just bought E4 with 2.11 fw, and I can confirm, the hack is working without downgrade to 2.3. I used 2lps' 2.3 hack with modification for 2.11 fw. The hack takes only 15 minutes, and both resolution and menu mod works like a charm! Thanks 2lps!

As long as the voltage is the same (which it probably is) it should be fine.
