Supported FLIR cameras

The decoder behind this site was run against 946 recordings from 34 FLIR camera models, covering eight sensor resolutions from 240×180 up to 1024×768. Every model below has had real files put through it.

The decoder has been tested with recordings from 34 FLIR camera models, covering eight sensor resolutions from 240×180 up to 1024×768.

If your camera is not on the list

Try it anyway. The CSQ container is the same across the range — the differences between models are the sensor resolution, the calibration constants and which optional metadata records the firmware writes, all of which are read from the file rather than assumed. A model that has never been tested usually just works.

What does occasionally differ is the metadata: some bodies record a GPS fix and a lens identifier, and most do not. That changes what the viewer can show you about a recording, not whether it can read the temperatures.

If a file will not open, send it to me. Recordings from an untested model are the only way the list gets longer, and a file that fails is more useful than one that works.

Cameras that do not produce CSQ files

Consumer and phone-attachment thermal cameras — the FLIR ONE range, and most non-FLIR brands — record radiometric JPEGs or their own formats instead of CSQ. This site reads CSQ recordings specifically; see what a CSQ file is for how it differs from the still-image formats.
