I don't know where I stumbled on this from but it looks interesting.

From the post:

>This is my “OpenTemp” project! It is a highly compact, pocket-sized thermal imager/infrared thermometer with a vast measurement range of -40 to 300°C. It is capable of achieving precise infrared radiation measurements corresponding to ±1.5°C (or ±0.2°C up close) in addition to a wide FOV of 110° at 768 FIR pixels of resolution.

That actually seems like it could be a practical application. It would probably work best on cameras due to the heat generated from operation though. It would in theory show odd heat distribution/dissipation on a outlet if it was not structured in a "standard" way.

Those devices are often wireless though so that's why you see those "bug finders" with the antenna on them to "sniff them out".

I've done a bit of research and this device in the video does not have a clear enough image to be useful for this application. It would be better to cash out 300$ - 500$ and get a more advanced device. I've been considering using this in combination with a bug detector.
