The mobile phone thermal imager is a portable thermal imaging product of long-wave infrared (8~14μm, LWIR), which can convert the thermal radiation of the measured object into images and temperature data. Main functions: 1. Supports ultra-high infrared resolution of 256X192 pixels, and displays thermal images in real time and high definition through 25Hz high frame rate. 2. Supports measurement of the full temperature range of -20℃~550℃ (-4℉~1022℉), and can accurately detect temperature changes of 0.1℃(32.18℉). 3. Supports real-time image photography and video recording, and can set the maximum\minimum\center temperature value display of point, line, and surface areas at any position on the image. 4. Supports thermal imaging\fusion\picture-in-picture mode switching, combining infrared images and visible light images. 5. Supports real-time temperature sound/light alarm, and can customize high or low temperature alarm values and alarm modes. 6. Support real-time temperature waveform monitoring, you can set points, lines, and surface areas at any position on the image for temperature monitoring, automatically save temperature monitoring videos, support video playback and excel table data export. 7. Support the generation of temperature measurement analysis reports, you can select any photo in the album to generate a PDF report, and support PDF report sharing.

Night Vision helps you see more when light is scarce. Switch between Night, Thermal, Infrared, Military, X‑Ray, and a LiDAR mode that builds a 3D map of the scene. Capture photos and record videos right in the app. LiDAR is not just a filter: it emits invisible infrared light and measures distance to objects, creating a depth map that works even in darkness. You understand shape and relative distance around you. Key features: - LiDAR mode (3D depth): visualize shape and distance even in very low light; requires a LiDAR‑equipped device - Night / Thermal / Infrared / X‑Ray / Military: live filters for striking night shots - Tactical Military overlay: crosshair, markers, and HUD for a cinematic tactical look - Photo and video: capture in all modes and save to your library - Quick mode switching: swipe to change modes instantly - Front and back cameras supported Use cases: - Navigate at home at night without bright lights - Understand distance and outlines in a dark garage or storage room - Camping, night walks, atmospheric videos and photos - Creative shoots with thermal/infrared/x‑ray‑style looks Important: - Not a professional night‑vision device or thermal camera; Thermal/Infrared/X‑Ray are artistic effects and do not see through objects - Total darkness: RGB modes need at least some light; LiDAR helps reveal shape and distance in low or no visible light on supported LiDAR devices - Safety: do not rely on the app for navigation or in hazardous situations Compatibility: - Works on iPhone with a camera - LiDAR mode is available on devices with a LiDAR sensor (e.g., iPhone Pro models with LiDAR and iPad Pro 2020+) Privacy Policy: https://nsdidenko.github.io/legal/2022/11/15/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FoxIR at 5.0 against Night Vision Camera's 3.8. FoxIR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Night Vision Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
