![]() ![]() I tested this actually today in the rain with the TAhz and sure enough, the image got a little darker(in Therm-App Plus), then I lowered the bottom of the span till the environment was back- that was easy. I am aware IR cannot go through actual water flow(which isn't this), - however, if this was my Therm-App HZ, I would take the bottom number of the temperature span and lower it until the environment comes back into view. for those who get the camera without the feature though, they'd only have a dark image.with tailpipes. ![]() The Pedestrian Detection/Animal Detection feature (which i do have),FLIR support mentioned would still work regardless, if i had it- and it does, but at slightly reduced range. I find this odd, as I know they test this camera in cold weather, but in FL in the humid air when it's raining, the image shouldn't degrade.It does surprise me that water drops on the front make it adjust like that- and that hot sources of IR like tailpipes then can get through still. From elsewhere on the web it was suggested that Autoliv codes the OEM version for the cars' algorithms, and then the PF2 is just a copy of that. I did bug FLIR tech support, and the person I talked to mentioned that the image adjusting like that should only happen if something very hot or cold gets in the image- I noted that I could, then drive my car so it aimed at a wall or bunch of trees where there were no sources of hot or lack of IR(cold) in the image and then take a picture of it still being dark, and was sorta passed over/ignored on that suggestion. After nearly a month of using it, in various situations and comparing against my Therm-App HZ in rainy conditions(being a bit careful since the Therm-App isn't waterproof), I have confirmed the image from the Pathfindir II does oddly get darker when water drops are on the front of the camera. I am surprised, as I assumed the camera would adjust it's lower temperature span like my Therm App thermal camera will do with the default app(or I can do it myself using the Therm-app Plus app), to bring things back into view. And upon finally getting it installed, I have noticed a odd issue, that I was curious if anyone had experience with? I noticed that, with rain droplets on the front lens, cause the image to get severely darker, and all I can see are hot tailpipes, the environment disappears completely in the image. (note: A few years ago I also acquired a Therm-App HZ) (my setup) I am in FL where it rains frequently. ![]() So, I recently acquired a Flir Pathfindir II, which i'd been after for a long time ever since seeing the OEM version on BMW's in 05. ![]()
