SATIR PK-160 Android based Tablet Thermal Camera Review

Author: Brenton Ward

Date: 9th Nov 2016

What’s to like:

Android Operating System – outstanding user interface
Actual android smart phone hardware platform
Rugged construction, excellent use of rubber
Access to battery
Excellent image quality
Use of shutter technology
Fully radiometric (i.e. full screen temperature measurement)

What’s not to like:

Bootup/Startup is confusing
Thermal Imager is an APP rather than primary software
Hardware buttons are confusing and difficult to read
Short Battery life
Crowded interface

The SAT PK 160 is a surprise package that provides a real point of difference in the smart-phone-infrared camera genre. Boasting good resolution and a high level of dedicated hardware integration this thermal imager overcomes many of the limitations associated with this ultra-compact and highly portable category.
