Using Pixfra Mile 2 M625 in search for missing pets
The author is from: Magnar from cat-organization Katteeiere i Holmestrand Background: My wife and I have a cat-organization in Norway called Katteeiere i Holmestrand (Catowners in Holmestrand). We search for missing and homeless cats (and sometimes dogs), and trap homeless, hurt, sick and missing cats. We also check them for identification chips, we pick up dead cats, inform people about laws and regulations related to cats, and generally do everything about cats in our area. Thermal camera requirements: Cats and small dogs don’t emit as much heat as humans or bigger animals (like a deer) does. The most crucial part in a thermal camera for our usage is a high-resolution infrared sensor. The higher the infrared resolution, the smaller an animal can be detected at a longer distance. Streaming is very useful. It allows us to check for lost pets by pointing the thermal camera under containers, under verandas, and other places we can’t reach. We can also place the thermal camera in a dark barn and stream it to the phone outside so we don’t disturb the pets. Pixfra Mile 2 M625‘s most important specifications for searching for missing pets: -Charged by ordinary USB-C charger and cable. Use your phone/tablet charger or power bank. -640×512 infrared sensor resolution. -6 colour palettes (Alarm, Green Warm, Sephia, White Warm, Black Warm, Ironred). -IP67 (Will survive rain, snow, fog, condensation) -Screen resolution: 800×600 -Operating temperature: -30 to +55 degrees Celcius -Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot (transfers photos and videos, streaming, updating firmware) Pixfra Mile 2 M625 experience: I started by charging the thermal camera. I’m delighted to see that it can be charged using a standard USB-C charger and cable. A USB-C cable is included in the box, but most people will likely use the same USB-C charger and charging cable they use to charge
