Thermlapse – Thermal Timelapse

Capture radiometric thermal time-lapses with your FLIR ONE. Monitor heat loss, HVAC cycles, and equipment warm-up — with full temperature data in every frame.

Thermlapse turns your FLIR ONE camera into a professional thermal monitoring station. Set an interval, press record, and walk away — the app captures a full radiometric image automatically at every tick, preserving complete temperature data for every frame.

NO OTHER iOS APP DOES THIS.

The FLIR ONE app's time-lapse is buried and non-configurable. Vernier Thermal Analysis no longer supports FLIR ONE Edge or USB-C cameras. Thermlapse is purpose-built for the professional who needs unattended, long-duration thermal capture.


WHAT YOU CAN DO

▸ BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS
Track heat loss patterns through a wall section over an 8-hour workday. Set a 5-minute interval, mount your phone, go do other work. Return to a complete radiometric sequence showing exactly when and where the thermal envelope failed.

▸ HVAC SYSTEM VERIFICATION
Document heating and cooling cycles at 30-second intervals to confirm a system is cycling properly. Every frame contains real temperature data — not just a pretty image — so you can measure exact duct temperatures in post-analysis with FLIR Tools.

▸ EQUIPMENT WARM-UP PROFILES
Capture machinery from cold start to operating temperature. A 10-second interval over 30 minutes gives you 180 radiometric frames that tell the complete thermal story of a motor, transformer, or mechanical assembly.

▸ SOLAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Track solar heating of a roof, facade, or material sample throughout the day. Configurable intervals from 1 minute to 1 hour let you compress an entire day into a compact sequence.


KEY FEATURES

◆ RADIOMETRIC CAPTURE
Every image saves full 14-bit radiometric temperature data as a standard JPEG. Open any frame later in FLIR Tools, ResearchIR, or FLIR Ignite and measure temperatures at any pixel — hours or days after the capture session.

◆ CONFIGURABLE INTERVALS
Set intervals in seconds, minutes, or hours — from 0.15 seconds to 12 hours per frame. No other FLIR ONE companion app offers this range.

◆ ALL FLIR ONE CAMERAS SUPPORTED
• FLIR ONE Classic (Lightning)
• FLIR ONE with USB-C
• FLIR ONE Edge (Bluetooth/wireless)
• FLIR ONE Edge Pro (Bluetooth/wireless, extended range to 400°C)

◆ AUTO-RECONNECTION
If a wireless camera drops connection mid-session, Thermlapse retries up to 5 times automatically. Your session keeps going.

◆ LIVE THERMAL VIEW
See a real-time thermal stream with your choice of 12 color palettes: Iron, Rainbow, Arctic, Lava, Gray, Wheel, Double Rainbow, Blackhot, and more.

◆ 5 FUSION MODES
IR Only, MSX (thermal with edge enhancement), Visual Only, Alpha Blend, and Thermal Fusion (temperature-threshold blending).

◆ TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Drag a cursor anywhere on the live image to see exact temperature. Min and max temperatures update in real time across the whole scene.

◆ VIDEO EXPORT
Convert any captured sequence directly to MP4 at 15, 30, or 60 FPS. One tap to share the final timelapse video.

◆ SESSION MANAGEMENT
Named photo albums (FLIR_001, FLIR_002…) organize every session automatically. Session statistics show total frames, duration, and storage used.

◆ SCREEN MANAGEMENT
Display auto-dims during recording to preserve your phone's battery during long unattended sessions.


PRIVACY
All data is stored locally on your device. No cloud upload, no analytics, no user tracking of any kind.


REQUIRES
A physical FLIR ONE camera (Classic, Edge, or Edge Pro). This app does not work with the iOS Simulator or without a connected FLIR ONE device. Compatible with iPhone and iPad running iOS 15.0 or later.
