Thank you Rozzone. A 6392.75xx sure increases probability that the 6392.76xx is also a firmware 1.22.0.
Would feel 100% certain if someone could verify a serial 6392.77xx or later as firmware 1.22.0. Anyone?
OK, double kisses this time:
Tom9999, I asked the seller to check for firmware, but they did not want to open the box. I am not sure why that is, if they have to break the packaging in order to do so?
I know other authorized sellers have checked firmware, but these guys did not want to .
These guys are potentially the only guys with any 1.22.0 left in stock - if I only could have someone confirm serial 6392.76xx for me...

Not enough data points but first one with 2.1.0 showed up 5 days after Flir released the firmware update on their website. and that was 6392.85xx
So chances are you are good, but nothing that will totally ensure it.

With the hack does it increase the E4 thermal sensitiviely from 0.15c to 0.06c?
also same as S/N 6392.79xx
With the hack does it increase the E4 thermal sensitiviely from 0.15c to 0.06c?AFAIK nobody has figured out the exact reason for the sensitivity difference in spec between E4 and E8 (if any) - could be sensor differences, could be more accurate calibration. I don't think any reference to it has been found in any of the config files.
Just tested the E4 without the battery: powered by a isolated DCDC-converter and a LDO, set to 4,0V via the battery-connection (didnt use the powerpin on the FFC-connector because it wasnt hardwired to the battery, scared of damaging the board).QuoteI think there is probably a MOSFET switch between that pin and the battery, to disconnect the load during charging. I suspect that applying power to that pin would work, without any interference from the charger, though it's possible the battery manager might report a fault status in the absence of the battery.
As this node is at the exact same voltage as the battery when the battery is there I think it's unlikely there would be a risk of damage.
Incidentally has anyone actually confirmed the presence of the serial console port functionality on 1.2x? Does the 1.2x firmware package include the command-line interpreter?
For anyone wanting a more compact thermal camera that can produce 160x120 pixel images at a very reasonable cost, take a look at my Post here:

Its a camera by NEC AVIO of Japan, a well respected thermal camera producer. These have been used in remote controlled drones as they are both compact, light and provide both USB digital and Composite video outputs...... think Thermal camera version of a Go-Pro and you are not far off !
Mine arrived today and I am impressed with it.

Couple of questions.... Live streaming of a modified E4. I used Marphys EXE - many thanks Marphy and all the rest of you. Now I don't seem to be able to activate live streaming via flir tools, VLC or the Flir Camera Player. In FLIR tools, I connect to live streaming, it works away for about 3 minutes and then returns a CAMERA_RTREE_CONNECT_ERROR.
Also, I am interested in developing a telephoto converter for this camera. Has anyone worked out what the thread for the std E4 lens mount is? I might see if I can work out a connector that joins the therm app 19mm lens to the E4.
