Usb Type C to micro usb with Seek Thermal Camera?

[jhun80]

I just bought a Seek Thermal Camera for my Galaxy S6, and planning to get a Nexus 6P, can the usb type c to micro usb adapter works?

I had to look up what the hell this is supposed to do.

So, for the uninitiated, it's a thermal imaging usb plugin for your phone.

Here are some use cases:

At Work

• Contractors to find water damage, air leaks, missing insulation and other inefficiencies
• Plumbers to detect water leaks and clogs
• Electricians to identify electrical shorts, loose wiring and other safety hazards
• HVAC professionals to assess areas of poor performance and check equipment status
• Home Inspectors to identify and document potential issues with a house before purchase
• Insurance Adjustors to thoroughly investigate losses and damage

Outdoors

• Hunters can track game, scout terrain, and locate downed animals
• Hikers and campers can navigate in the darkness and scan around a campsite for predators
• Campers will be sure the campfire is completely out
• Boaters can detect objects on the water at night
• Pet owners can find pets at night or scan the backyard to make sure it is safe for their pets

At Home / DIY

• Trace water damage up a wall or across a ceiling to its source
• Discover energy inefficiencies such as missing insulation and air leaks around windows and doors
• Identify the location of clogs in pipes
• Detect electrical shorts, loose wiring, and other safety hazards
• Confirm even tire wear on vehicles
• Measure the heat distribution across the BBQ grill and the level of propane left in the tank

I read on some of the adapter posts that they are working for charging but maybe not for data. I don't have my phone yet so I can't test the techmatte ones I received, but I will see if it works for data as well as charging when I get my phone.

I have just tryed seek thermal on One Plus Two. Type C adapter doesn't work for this camera. such a disappointment

Just tried my Seek Thermal with my Nexus 6P using the TechMatte Type-C to Micro-USB adapter (Beson-Leung-approved update) and it doesn't work. Camera doesn't power up, app can't see it. Too bad! (Even more too bad since USB-C lets me plug the camera into the phone the right way, unlike my Nexus 5.)

Hi,
I also have a seek thermal camera. And a Nexus 5x.
I have tried at least 2 adapters from eBay, got one in the mail today and it didn't work. Have 2 more on the way.
All of them claim they are OTG compatible.


EDIT:
I found a solution! On Seek Thermals homapage! Im not allowed to post links, but you will find it here:
-Go to Support
-Under "Promoted articles", choose "USB Adapters For Seek Compact"
-There are 3 links, choose USB-C adapters

They sell it on Amazon.
Im ordering right now! They also have a 180* adapter, that will fix the wrong way facing camera on my Nexus 5.

So, how its going? Is it work with that adapter?

 

[Alpejohn]

Havent recieved it yet. Ordered it from amazone, to my sisters adress in New York, she is coming home to Norway 18. december.
So then i will be able to test it. But it should work when they say so on they're homepage.

 

[jhun80]

Mine works fine.

 

[Alpejohn]

Yep, the adapter linked at their site works great on my Nexus 5x

I was just able to get the seek thermal camera t work with my OP2. Go to settings/storage and turn on OTG. Then use the OP2 USB c to micro adapter. I was pretty disappointed at first but with a bit of tinkering got it to work!

You need this original OnePlus two type-c adapter. Remember to go to settings/storage and turn on OTG. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Oneplus-Type-c-Adapter-Invoice/dp/B01537B8IM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1453387959&sr=8-6&keywords=oneplus+type-c

slightly off topic, but how would you guys rate these little cameras? Seems like a cool little toy/tool. Does it work well? What about longer ranges while outdoors?

Mine works fine.

Hi,
I also have the nexus 5x and it is not possible to make it work, i have the same USB C OTG adaptor that is in the picture and i even bought the one from OnePlus, and does not work neither.
Did you change any configuration in the phone?

Thanks!

I dont have the phone anymore, but to answer your question, i didn't changed any settings on the phone, its just plug and play with the seek thermal app.

After initially buying a generic adapter, and it not working, I found this page. Ordered the Fanisy adapters from Amazon, an 8 pack. 2 of the 8 did not work, so if you order and have a problem, try more than 1 if you bought a multi-pack. All of the other 6 connected right away when I plugged in the Seek camera, work great, no issues.

Just for informations sake, I am connecting this Seek camera to a Samsung Galaxy S9+, no changes needed. Downloaded app, ran it, no changes, plug and play and everything connected and worked.

Mine too

Mine works fine.

Hello to all,

The SEEK camera (mine is XR version but that should not matter) works with any micro USB to USB C connector that you have previously tested to be working with an OTG cable (for ex USB memory).
Tested on One+ 5T and application version 1.9.5. that is the last one that does not require to listen to your microphone.... Download this from any other place than google play. And pass through virus/malware scanner.
Also works directly on an XIAOMI Redmi 4X
