Love the cardboard and the paper print out reading at a normal temp! Clips like that really help get the point across to people who aren't questioning the validity of these devices.

Sep 08, 2020Quite frankly the more I look at these units, both my personal testing & the much broader and more detailed IPVM testing the more I feel that these units should be totally banned.
Any end user who wants their money back should be fully refunded.
Yes I work for a distribution company. Yes we have access to these devices. No we chose not to sell them due to ethical concerns.

Sep 21, 2020I wholeheartedly agree people should be able to get their money back if a system doesn't work or is later shown to not work. And what's with these non-cancellable, eight-week leadtime orders? If the leadtime is that long, there's enough demand the manufacturer ought to be able to sell it somewhere else if in those two months the buyer needs to go elsewhere! My concern is that some of those manufacturers are just taking advantage of their buyers and distributors by pretending they need to do this.

Sep 09, 2020They should all be sued and be forced to cease and desist. They're all frauds.

Sep 21, 2020We did a similar test for a large manufacturer in June who wanted to know which of the five systems they'd bought would work (as well as how well ours, the Fever Inspect, would work), where we tricked one (expensive) "AI-powered" system from a competitor into scanning thin air using a mirror and it returned a reasonable temperature. Later we put a piece of tape over the thermal camera, and again it reported a reasonable temperature, which we duly recorded in the spreadsheet as 97.8F. All the rest (except ours, which reports faithfully what it sees) seemed to be pushing their outputs closer to 98.6F. Its shameful and fraudulent and reflects very poorly on the thermal industry.
