Thermal Master is the global leader in phone thermal imaging, with a decade of experience and 8 world records. This all-in-one thermal camera and night vision app works with the P Series (P1/P2 Pro/P3) phone thermal cameras, the foldable-screen birdwatching thermal imagers DV2 and DV3, and the outdoor night-vision phone thermal cameras T2 Max, X2. As the only thermal imaging brand to win a Tom's Guide AI Award, and recognized by Forbes, NotebookCheck, and TechRadar, Thermal Master keeps pushing thermal imaging technology to be smaller, sharper, and smarter — with free lifetime software upgrades on every device. What's New in This Update: - Insight+ 4.0 imaging algorithm: AI adapts to different environments, better distinguishes real heat sources from summer-heat false targets, and reduces background noise. - Super Birdwatching 4.0: an industry-first algorithm that suppresses the thermal "sky effect" over tree canopies, making birds easier to spot with this thermal bird finder. - Sky Guard 3.0: intelligent sun-damage protection for the thermal detector. - Razor-Sharp X³ imaging algorithm: sharper, more defined edges on subtle heat sources. - TruePix temperature measurement algorithm: refined calibration for targets with different reflectivity. - Shutterless technology: continuous thermal observation with no shutter interruption. Choose the right app for your device: this "Thermal Master" app supports P1/P2/P2 Pro/P3/P3 Lite/T2 Max/X2/DV2/DV3.
