### 3/5 — There is just two things

*2020-06-03*

I got the app because i was going to use it but first there is no thermal view doesn’t even work and second it says there is no WiFi when there is. If you could fix these things then that would be great 👍😊😊😊

**Developer response:** This app requires Rspberry PI Zero and a dedicated program installed. The wonderful world of BOSON awaits when we can do this. If you are interested in image recognition, you can do even more interesting as you can use your own annotated data from the infrared camera. Of course, Thermal Cam B is useful for image recognition.
