Hi, there's a version of the Flir E4 called "E4-B", it sells for about $150 less than the normal E4.

It says in the description "Limited temperature Range"
"This E4 model will produce the same high quality image available on Standard Release cameras under normal operating conditions but the operating temperature range is not the same as the Standard Release E-Series specification detailed in the user manual"

Does anyone know if the available hacks can be applied to the E4-B ?

Thanks.

Thank you everyone who contributed to making this possible.
I installed everything on another computer and followed this video.
Everything worked flawlessly. It has more options than my E60! Resolution is significantly improved (obviously) and the menu hacks are phenomenal.

Hi
I have E4 1.1L fw 1.21.0 and succesfully hacked camera with same instruction.
But in a few video about hacked E4 I saw there is also blending option in picture mode. I dont''t have this one, but have 2x picture in picture: first biger, second smaller.
How to gest blending option?

I believe that is a new addition to the 2.3.0 firmware.

Is it possible to temporarily (while video streaming) disable calibration message on the top screen?

Disabling of the NUC was discussed in the thread. It required telnet'ing into the camera and issuing commands.

(ripped from earlier in thread)

# turn off auto-nuc
rset .tcomp.services.autoNuc.active false

# turn on auto-nuc
rset .tcomp.services.autoNuc.active true

# trigger nuc
rset .image.services.nuc.commit true

You can also leave the camera on for a long time (20-30min) and the NUC'ing slows down to almost never since the camera reaches stable temp.

Can the newest version still be hacked to 320x240 60fps?

Fraser · « **Reply #156 on:** May 15, 2016, 03:30:32 pm »

The E4 has never been publicly upgradable to 60fps.

The E4 teardown three will answer your question in more detail but yes, the 2.11 firmware camera (current release) can be upgraded to 320 X 240 but it takes some effort.

Thanks! I don't know where I was thinking it was 60fps.

I guess a better question would be "do the newer ones have any limitation/encumbrances that older revisions don't?"

I just ordered this one, there was a used one that was on sale for $450 so I jumped on it. Is it the right one?

Yup! Hopefully you have older firmware also

Can't the firmware be downgraded? I kinda jumped on that deal without doing all the research ahead of time.

Chanc3 · « **Reply #160 on:** May 15, 2016, 05:32:33 pm »

Think it depends which version you have, but regardless, they can be hacked

As long as they are all hackable! I hate the idea of owning crippled hardware.

Great price. Well done

Hi,

Does anyone know if the current E5 which is the same price now as E4 is easily upgraded.
ie Does 2lps 2.11 hack also support the E5. The e5 files are in the downloaded ZIP but have they been used on a E5 2.11?

Thanks

James

is it still feseable to hack the E4 ?

Hi everyone,

This a great thread and knoweldge base for flir, much better than the own flir. However I'm in deep trouble and could not find a solution yet.

I have a E5 (not hacked) with firmware 2.3 and tried to upgrade to 2.11 with flir tools for MAC. When disconnecting the USB as required by flir tools, an OS error popped "Disk Not Ejected Properly"… The camera never booted up again

The flir logo shows up after starting the camera but then dissolves to a black screen forever. I can connect to the memory through USB but can't really do anything to try and re install the firmware.

Can a firmware be pushed with flirinstallnet or filezilla?

The support people from flir recommended me retry to update from flir tools and later to try removing the battery, that it's… I did not work.

Does anyone gone through this?

I will appreciate any response.

Personally I would get FLIR to fix it before you void the warranty.

Is there any place to check if the warranty is still valid? I believe it might just be void for about a couple of months now.

Besides there is no official FLIR in my country, there might be in Brazil but don't know if they can fix it. I have already emailed them but still no reply.

Thanks for the tip mct75

I have an E6 with firmware 2.11
How can I check the current IR sensor settings before the hack? Can this be done with the FLIRInstallNet/Get resource?

In his description of the 2.11 hack, 2lps said:

Quote

I am attaching the modified script package (removed e6 files, as they seem to work slightly differently at first glance)

( https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg921880/#msg921880 )

Since I have an E6, I wonder what he meant when sayin "removed e6 files"?

Good day to All
Where I can see firmware version in Flir E4 and this "1.2L"?
Thanks

Hey peeps. I've been reading a bit here on the forums after seeing the video years ago with Mike hacking the E4

Today, i managed to get my hands on a secondhand E4 at a good price.

It's running the 1.22.0 firmware.

I've been reading up and down on the forums, but one question i cannot find a usable answer to:

Should i upgrade to newest firmware (in writing: 2.11 or 2.3) before applying the hack (is there anything to win by doing this) or should i keep it with the old 1.22.0 firmware and apply the hack?

Thanks in advance

Hello. Looking to upgrade the resolution and menus on my E4 1.22. Does anyone happen to have a copy of Marphy's TIConfig utility for the one-click upgrade?
