Victor 328 Mobile Thermal Camera for Android Phone
« on: October 13, 2022, 09:09:43 am »
Is the Victor 328B model any good? It's cheap and the hardware looks promising but the software is very basic. No fusion image or PIP. Also currently awesome deal but only for U.K. The b model is only $186! In other countries it's $222!

It will contain either an Infiray Tiny1-c or Guide Sensmart TIMO256 miniature imaging core. Both are impressive pieces of electronic engineering. These cameras offer excellent value for money.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm a beginner and I need it for a little appartment inspection and maybe as a hobby for pcb electronics repair but nothing serious. Do you think I need fusion image and PIP image? Is it a big deal? And also it has a temp range from -15°C to 600°C in one mode but I saw other models have 2 ranges?

For example this Uti 260m has low gain and high gain mode. Is this any good? It has also better software with PIP and fusion image. Is it also a Infiray Tiny1-c or Guide Sensmart TIMO256 miniature imaging core?

Uti 260m https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004589887288.html

Can you get raw temp data from those devices? maybe with a sdk? are there free sdk available? I suppose the images uses some sort of interpolations, heat maps, etc.? 50000 points seems a lot to me with this kind of interpolations?

I'm looking to buy one of them. Thanks!

The cheaper Victor 328A share the specs of the Victor 328A but only with 160x120 pixels compared to 256x192, will be interesting if anybody owning the module can check which module is inside, maybe both have Tiny1-c (that support 2 video modes that correspond with those resolutions). Having the same module will open the door to enable the higher resolution on the cheaper module.

The Victor 328B is the full 256x192 pixel resolution. It is reasonable to assume that the Tiny1-C is being configured to its lower resolution in the Victor 328A.

I would not be bothered by losing PIP and 'fusion'.  Particularly when working close the fusion is a nuisance not a help.  256x192 is enough thermal pixels the be useable - as long as it can be focussed manually (or you can use an addon lens)

A range to 600°C will need to use two gain modes, likely just not advertised, or could be dual gain imaging.

Value or not I have to say this device's name is just offensively misleading. Almost as bad as the Ford "EcoSport".

Thank you for your comment but sadly I already purchased the uti-260m. However later I understood almost the same device is also sold under same brand but with a different name uti-721m with a very, very competitive price from the EU (netherlands) in this shop: https://eleshop.eu/uni-t-uti721m-thermal-camera-for-android-usb-c.html. I think Aliexpress and similar chinese shops are slowly becoming very expensive and obsolete.

The Uni-Trend model numbering can be very strange. Possibly different model numbers for different markets but I do not know why.
What is the App that Uni-T say to use with the UTI-260M please ?

I received this updated app "UTI260M.apk" per e-mail because they don't have the updated app in the Google play store because Google isn't in China anyway.  But I didn't tried it because I'm still waiting for my device to be delivered. The seller only sent the goods after 4(!) days (some weekend days) after I have sent the payment! I'm a bit disappointed about this. It says ETA is 03-04.11.22. I hope I get it sooner!

Here is another very similar looking rebrand of the Victor 328 thermal viewer: Mileseey TR256i TR160i Mini Thermal Imaging Camera USB Type-C OTG for Android:

I got the device and it works.  Unfortunately there are a few negative things.  Firstly, I had to pay double import tax and carrier fees and unfortunately the app has a few bugs.  The tax will be refunded to me by AliExpress after a period of time.  I'm still nervous.  Unfortunately, the app does not work properly if you use a dark theme, e.g.  to minimize burn-in on OLED screens.  A really bad mistake, however, is that you cannot set the distance to the object in the settings.  The app crashes immediately!  I have described the problem to customer service, but they are no help at all!  Although I received the app (version 2.0.1) by email (the app in the Playstore doesn't work), I was told to download the "latest" app and then they sent me a link to a website but the link or the website or both doesn't work for me! I have tried multiple browsers and even VPN. The browsers returns always an error message ("404"). Maybe censored by Chinese government? When I pointed this out, contact was broken off!  Unfortunately I cannot recommend this company and this product!

Eek! That sounds like a bit of a disaster. Can you return the camera as “not fit for purpose” and claim your taxes back using proof of return to country of origin ?

Sadly the hardware in these dongles is only part of the story and, as you have found out, the APP is a very important element of the whole package. It sounds like the OEM behind Victor did not do a very good job on the software front :(

If you cannot return the camera, maybe we can work out how to use another vendors software with it ?

You can try the software for Noyafa or Mileseey cameras, they seem exactly the same. I also purchased Victor 328B but I haven't received it yet.

It's not the Victor device. I bought the expensive uti-260m. Yes, it's a bit disappointing but I'm a newbie and I got a partial refund from AliExpress, so I paid a little less, basically like the Victor device. I will keep the device and I hope they can fix the critical bug soon! But it's very disappointing when you can't even access their website! I bought to early because the infini pro 2 device with the macro lens is currently on sale for $270!! Also the fusion image isn't so helpful because they didn't check for post image processing whatsoever and is simply an overlay of the unfilterer camera and thermal camera with different FOV 's, e.g.  the images doesn't match at all!

Yes, they both use the Infiray “Tiny1” microbolometer core.

Hello CyberCartel, I'm interested in the part that you say that Aliexpress will refund you the tax as I'm also from Europe (Spain) and we have to pay the VAT (21% of the price+shipping cost), carrier fees and in some types of products import duties. Which one of this ones will refund you? Who you asked for the refund to the shop or directly to Aliexpress? What you mean when you say that you double payed it? in my case just before paying, the VAT was subtracted from the price so I think that is legit that I will pay it to customs on arrival.

Yes, I think you are right, you can also download the invoice and verify it. However in my case the VAT wasn't substracted when I checked out and also I verified it with the downloaded invoice (in AliExpress you can download the AliExpress invoice in the order details view).  But when it arrived in my country the carrier UPS wanted again the VAT plus a hefty carrier fee! Initially I wanted to refuse the package but I also consulted AliExpress customer service multiple times and the   agent told me about the double VAT refund policy in AliExpress and suggested to me to pay the VAT and confirm the receipt and apply for the double tax refund 15 days after the confirmed receipt! I was very hesitant but I did nevertheless and I paid the €68 VAT got my package and confirmed it. After 15 days I applied for the double VAT refund and sadly it's a nightmare! After I sent all proofs they told my I'm not eligible, I'm rejected! I was in shock! I immediately consulted the customer support and they told my a document was missing, specifically the AliExpress invoice. I sent it to them and also to the VAT department and also the customer support kindly created or reopened my case with the missing document for me but a few days later I received an email telling my application is incomplete! I started to panic and consulted customer service again and spent hours in the chat to explain them case and they also told me they don't understand the emails and that I'm clearly eligible for the double tax refund. Thus they kindly reopened the case and told me to wait. That's was before yesterday! I hope they didn't lied to me in the chat to get rid of me and that I win this application! I have done nothing wrong I should had refused this bullshit package and UPS also wanted €15 carrier fee! IMO it's some sort of shipping error or the seller is  a scammer and want to pocket the VAT and it seems AliExpress isn't so interested in double tax! I feel very bad treated if I don't win this! The customer support make it looks like a walk in the park but it's absolutely not ! Horrible experience if you ask me! If you have any questions please ask!

UPS and Fedex applied this management tax also to me on the past and I never choose them as shipping method again, choosing the Aliexpress shipping usually you get lower chances to get charged by customs.
I understand you, I had to cope will Aliexpress customer support in the past and the experience was similar, is very hard to contact them and when you get in chat with an agent you don't really know if it's a person or a bot as most of the answers are long and unnatural and if you speak with a different agent you get the same sentences.
I suggest to keep trying, the last issue I had I got the money back from an undelivered product that the tracking said that was delivered, I contacted 4 times each of them saying that the issue was fixed and I will receive a confirmation email, seeing that I didn't got the email I contacted them again after 1 week, and this repeated for 4 weeks until some agent really fixed it and I got the email with the refund while still on the chat, so if they say that you will receive an email and you don't receive at that moment probably you won't receive it.
I have also read in some forum that if you have an invoice from Aliexpress that says the VAT was applied on origin you can ask the tax entity of you country to return the double payment, but probably dealing with the administration will be even harder than dealing with Aliexpress.

It does not help but for future reference…. If you have paid VAT and Duty at time of purchase NEVER pay the courier for VAT, Duty and documentation. Sadly sometimes the sender does not make it clear to the courier that VAT and Duty have been pre-paid. This happened to me recently. What you do is send a copy of the sales receipt to the courier. This should show that VAT was collected and they will cancel the charge against your account. Be warned though, I was lucky with my case as it was noted on the shipping documents supplied by the seller that I had paid VAT. At first the Courier claimed it was not clear enough on the paperwork so the additional charge was not their fault and as it had already been paid by them, I would still have to pay. On highlighting the clear statement on the paperwork that VAT was pre-paid, they admitted the mistake and credited the outstanding amount to my account to cancel the charge.

It is hard enough dealing with VAT with a courier, let alone recovering it from a foreign company who submits payments through some complex seller payment system. To be avoided at all costs.

Hope it gets sorted for you  :-+

Hehe, probably  ;D. However I didn't choose the carrier, it was the seller but it was also noted on the seller's page. I didn't know about this double tax but, yeah, previously I had also bad experience with UPS, they are really to avoid at all costs! Also the customer support was nice but still take long to explain to them each time from scratch although I showed them my previous case id's. It's highly recommend to ask for the case id to document your case! But the TAX/VAT department is a nightmare. They don't explain there decisions whatsoever! But it's also my first experience with them! But paying upfront is always a bad idea! IMO they have this double tax refund program for a reason!? It's been 2 days now, I really hope I win this case. It's not really cheap either!

Okay, sure, thanks for information. Interesting, however I didn't know I could download the invoice from AliExpress and when I consulted the AliExpress customer service they didn't told me about this possibility!? Or maybe I didn't understand them. I have the lesson learned the hard way, I guess😥. I still hope I win this case! Thanks!

I was trying this Victor 328 apk on my Android 8 and 11 phones but it never even asks for the OTG/USB access like other USB camera apps do. I wanted to see how it worked with the InfiRay P2 Pro but couldn't even get to that step. I tried the NOYAFA APK but it had the same UI and same lack of even asking for OTG permission as others do when you open them.

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.

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)

(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

(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)
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.

(EN)
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).

       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.

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!

What has changed in that 1.5.14 beta version??

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.

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.

Thanks, I have watched your video.
That looks strange indeed and certainly not useable. But still better than what I get.
I will upload a video from mine as well.

Hello everyone. I found one called TR256i new.
Looking at the specs, it seems to be the same as TR256i old except for the shape, do you know if the contents are the same?

Hello,

I bought a tooltop t256 thermal imager, which is basically a clone of the Victor 328B. The software was also a copy of the Victor and I was happy with the image.  I wanted to try the alternative software which works but the original gave me a more detailed image. When I went back to the original software, it no longer works. I tried on another phone to install only the original app but the camera doesn't work there either. It's like one of the programs I tried changed something in the camera settings. The alternative programs still work but I feel that at the beginning there was more detail in the picture and that the angle of view was wider as well. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get back? Thank you

Sounds like one of the apps has uploaded different firmware on your camera without letting you know.

Hi.

A new version of the TCView 0.6.5.0 application for PC, which works with Victor 328B, has appeared on the Topdon website.
https://www.topdon.com/pages/pro-down.html?fuzzy=TC001
This app is more extensive and has new features.

Hi, is it possible to get Victor 328B to work in Linux?

I tried it with RaspiOS (Linux distributive for Raspberry Pi) - and the best I could get was a lot of "static" and a contrast object barely visible once every ~5 sec. Although with Windows 10 it works perfectly fine.
Apparently, the built-in driver for UVC cameras identified its resolution as 160*120 instead of 256*192 and framerate as 5 Hz instead of 25 Hz, maybe that's the reason, but I have no idea how to resolve it.
Any thoughts?

UPD: Everything is working fine, it was just a faulty USB hub.
