Post by: m.abdelwanis on November 03, 2023, 08:46:20 pm

Hello Guys
Actually, I bought Fluke TC01a mobile thermal camera

https://www.fluke.com/en-au/product/thermal-cameras/fluke-tc01a (https://www.fluke.com/en-au/product/thermal-cameras/fluke-tc01a)

and it's work with Fluke android app only, using USB-C socket
I know it's maybe bad idea but I only have iPhone mobile and there's no iOS app for this camera

I have some questions
can I run this camera with android simulator on pc using its app ?
it's safe to connect it and try ?
anybody tried this?

Greetings,
Mo

Connecting it to a PC should be safe, there is no difference between USB ports on a PC and a phone.

But bridging it to the emulator may not be possible.

There is a chance that it is a standard UVC class device and you would be able to open it in the regular camera applications. But even if that's the case, you won't have any controls.

It might be easier to get a cheap second hand phone. It does not need to be anything fancy to run one app.
