The Cheap-Thermocam is a low-cost thermographic image scanner. With it you can analyse your house, electrical devices, etc. and identify for example thermal lacks.

Current FIR cameras on the market cost more than 2000€. My idea was it to reduce costs by using one single non-contact temperature sensor to create a thermographic image. This is done by moving the sensor with two servors over the target area. The popular arduino is used to control that procedure. It takes about 3 minutes per image to measure the temperature on 3072 points. All data is stored on a SD card. The thermal image can be created on any computer and combined with a normal optical image from a smartphone or a usual camera.
