IR-Fusion options include: • AutoBlend™ mode to blend partially transparent infrared and visible images into a single view for easy problem identification • Picture-in-picture mode provides a visible frame around the IR image to easily orient and reference areas of interest • Color alarms to isolate problematic areas to clearly identify and communicate problem areas ANALYZE: Use markers to quantify severity of problems and leverage multi-tool connectivity with measurements from CNX™ wireless test tools for additional troubleshooting to solve problems faster. COMMUNICATE: Share inspection results by emailing images or reports to: • Plan next steps or gain approval for work done before you even leave the job site • If needed, get assistance analyzing the problem • Provide complete details of your inspection • Finish the job by delivering a report on the spot to your customer Real-time report previewing allows you to see the effects of modifications to your report as you build it – save time by producing the desired report the first time, every time. REMOTE DISPLAY AND CONTROL: Stream live video from the infrared camera to an iPhone/iPad to see what’s happening live on the infrared camera. Remotely control the infrared camera with your iPhone/iPad to view and control the infrared camera from a safe distance or for fixed location applications.

Fluke SmartView Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
