Victor 328 Mobile Thermal Camera for Android Phone

[Kali_Kali]

I had a problem with my Victor 328B thermal camera and Sony Xperia XZ3 with Android 10 API28 phone.
The software version downloaded from the barcode did not see the thermal imaging camera, although the phone responded to connecting the camera.
Today I received another version of Victor VICTOR_release_v1.5.14_b264_20230215074618.apk 27.4 MB and this version works.
I downloaded the working version from this link (the link will be active for 6 more days):
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/c15aae7548ba6c83f047bd0dadf43da020230227055108/be19d1ba2f9c81fa4b9ab855ec228f3020230227055119/aed099

Try it, maybe it will help.

That new version still never even asks for USB permissions. Odd.

[Kali_Kali]

But do you have Developer options -> USB debugging enabled? Just asking

Hi all.
  This is the first time I'm writing to a foreign language site, so I'll forgive you, I'll use Google translator. My native Russian language.
I decided to give myself a New Year's gift and on December 30, 2022 I received a notification that the Victor328B was waiting for me in the mail.
  Since the OTG was not included in the kit, which the seller swore to me as a gift, I believed it on a phone with USB Type-C that accidentally fell into my hands.
Everything was fine and the thermal imager was acting up, but it still started up and worked out the check normally.
Until mid-January - holidays, then it turned out that in local services and salons there is no MicroUSB-OTG adapter for Xiaomi Redmi7, I had to order it on Ali.
March 1, 2023 I get MicroUSB-OTG connected, the thermal imager started up on my phone, but for a wonderful moment the phone slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor.
The first check showed that neither the phone nor the thermal imager have external damage, the phone works, when the program starts, it swears at OTG
Fate itself suggested that I disassemble the thermal imager and if the moderator allows me to post about 20 photos of the disassembled Victor328B, I will post them on the forum.
Perhaps we will try to find out about the device.

Thank you!

         Прошу обратить внимание:
Рядом с кварцевым резонатором, в белом квадратике 2 посадочных места для для резистора. Занято лишь одно, которое ближе к резонатору.
ВОЗМОЖНО это вопрос, на который отвечает за выбор  модели камеры (256x192 или 160x120)

(EN) The back of the thermal imager chamber.
         I ask you to pay attention:
Near the quartz resonator, in a white square 2 seats for a resistor. Only one thing is busy, which is closer to the resonator.
PERHAPS this is a question that is responsible for choosing a camera model (256x192 or 160x120)


Thank you!

  (RU) 3 фото сделаны  негативными : так лучше видна маркировка на объективе матрицы и на кабеле интерфейса.

  (EN) 3 photos are taken negative: this way the markings on the lens of the matrix and on the interface cable are better visible.

(RU) Следующие 3 фото - Ничего интересного:
1 RTS5830 - предположительно чип FIFO ( к сожалению Описание найти не удалось)
2 Winbond 25X10CLNIG -  ПЗУ для хранения стартовых констант
 Электроника не представляет особого интереса - обычная WEBCAM.
 Интерес представляет только оптика.
 Тепловизор починил : От удара соскочил разъем со стороны интерфейсного кабеля.

(EN)The next 3 photos - Nothing interesting:
1 RTS5830 - presumably a FIFO chip (unfortunately Description could not be found)
2 Winbond 25X10CLNIG - ROM for storing start constants
  Electronics is not of particular interest - the usual WEBCAM.
  Only the optics are of interest.
  The thermal imager repaired: The connector on the side of the interface cable jumped off from the impact.

Thank you!

This pair is a standard DVP to UVC bridge to present it as a normal webcam, ROM stores the programming for the REALTEK

(RU) Дорогой коллега!
Спасибо за поправку! Был бы очень признателен Вам,
если бы у Вас возможность найти даташит на RTS5830.
Лично мне это весьма любопытно.

(EN) Dear Colleague!
Thanks for the correction! I would be very grateful to you,
if you have the opportunity to find a datasheet on the RTS5830.
Personally, this is very interesting to me.


Thank you!

Hello, I'm trying to install the victor 328b by qrcode on my xiaomi pocophone f1 (android 10) and the camera is recognized, but the apk doesn't show an image. Could you please make your updated apk available, because the wetransfer link is no longer possible to download? thank you very much

Thanks for the pictures.
Can you please tell if it's possible to remove the front of the camera to reach the screws without damaging it?
I want to put 2 tiny magnets inside the case to hold a close up lens.

Привет!
Что бы открыть камеру нужно аккуратно, не спеша начиная, с ула , скальпелем оклеить чёрный скотч,
на передней панели. Это самоклейка. Под ней вы обнаружите 4 винта. Открутите их.  Далее всё просто...
 Видите крепёжные винты - можете смело  их откручивать.
ВНИМАНЕ!!! я не делал попыток переключить разрешающую способность при помощи недостающего резистора.
Это  только ПРЕДПОЛОЖЕНИЕ . Если Вы рискнете - сообщите о результатах.

Я подключал к USB 2.0 моем PC  и запустил тест с https://ru.webcamtests.com/
и получил картинку . Так Выглядит необработанная Андроидом картинка исправного тепловизора в тестовом режиме.
И представляет собой 2 одинаковых по размеру кадра: 1- черно-белый, 2 зелёный.

Так выглядит свет лампы накаливания от абажура на белом потолке моей комнаты.

Hello!
To open the camera, you need to carefully, slowly starting, from the street, paste over black tape with a scalpel,
on the front panel. This is a sticker. Under it you will find 4 screws. Unscrew them. What follows is simple...
  You see the fixing screws - you can safely unscrew them.
ATTENTION!!! I made no attempt to switch the resolution with the missing resistor.
This is just a SUGGESTATION. If you dare - report the results.

I connected to USB 2.0 on my PC and ran the test from https://ru.webcamtests.com/
and got a picture. This is how a picture of a working thermal imager in test mode, raw by Android, looks like.
And it represents 2 frames of the same size: 1 is black and white, 2 is green.

This is how the light of an incandescent lamp looks like from a lampshade on the white ceiling of my room.

Thank you!

Thanks DuRak
I hope I will be able to take off the black sticker undamaged.
I don't need to change the resolution (I have the 328B model).

[Nisei]

Just finished making my close up set for the 328. And when I was at it I figured I might as well do a protective lens cap.

       Привет Nisei !!!
Весьма любопытно .
Можно ли опубликовать 3 Фото одного и того же объекта?
Желательно при одном и том же нагреве.
Буду признателен , если на  4-м фото Вы укажете габариты предмета для контроля.
 
Я полагаю, что вам это необходимо для диагностики?

У меня валяется какая-то линза от лазерного резака. И поскольку я не только дурак, но лентяй,
Хочу оценить перспективы не приступая к работе ...

     Hi Nisei!!!
Quite curious.
Is it possible to publish 3 Photos of the same object?
Preferably with the same heat.
I would be grateful if you indicate the dimensions of the object for control on the 4th photo.
 
I assume you need this for diagnostics?

I have some kind of lens from a laser cutter lying around.
And since I'm not only a fool (Durak (ru)), but a lazy person,
I want to evaluate the prospects without starting work ...

Thank you!

Hi.
 If possible, upload the version of the program  VICTOR_release_v1.5.14_b264_20230215074618.apk

[Nisei]

Hi.
 If possible, upload the version of the program  VICTOR_release_v1.5.14_b264_20230215074618.apk

I have 1.5.09 (the QR code on the box leads me to that file).
What has changed in that 1.5.14 beta version??

[vitnsk]

Above, version 1.5.14 was written more stable, so I'm asking if anyone can post it again.

Ah yes, please. I'm interested as well.
By the way, can any of you record video with the P2 Pro app? The app works great with my 328B but when I record video the result is a magenta striped image with a green part at the bottom...

I will post some pictures with the lenses later.
I'm using them to inspect printed circuit boards.
I have used lenses which are made for laser cutters. Works great.

Can anyone check this please:
Can you record video with the Victor 328 using the Infiray P2 Pro app?

[Kali_Kali]

Hmm, the colors in the video are completely different than on the screen. There is a lot of gray in the film in cold places.
I hope the link works: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Avb9IIhCh-Pkg2UHgxesjmpLl_wx?e=wTkKLz
Let me know when you download the recording file.
