Discovered that the attic access hatch isn’t insulated, which honestly isn’t surprising given when it was built. No ladder system. I’m working on cutting up some foam boards to glue to the backside. Hopefully it will reduce how much is radiated through this barrier.

        By the way, if you’re interested in one of these, they’re available for $200 USD but they’re OS-specific. The iOS variant won’t work with Android and vice-versa.

        I bought the iOS USB-C variant and tried to use it with a Lightning-to-USB-C adapter on my iPhone 13 which didn’t work. People say the Lightning model works fine with an adapter on a USB-C iPhone but I guess the USB-C model isn’t happy with a Lightning iPhone. I decided it was time to upgrade my phone anyways and it worked like a charm on the USB-C iPhone.

        It’s really the only downside of this particular model. The price is great but make certain you’re not going to change between iOS and Android anytime soon!

          Thank you very much. Yes, I’m definitively interested, and saw they come in two variants. I’m on Android for years, but still pondering if a standalone IR cam would not be more universally useful. Probably rather going in that direction, and send it back if the quality and usability is not satisfactory.
