I’ve long been a Raspberry Pi fan so when I saw that rental price I decided to see what options were available for the Pi. My local Lowe’s has such cameras for rent as well but they cost $50 for 24 hours! Initially I researched buying or renting such a camera, but the buying options tend to start at $200 for the basic smartphone version, and go up to nearly $1,000.

I’ve also noticed a draft in certain areas of my house, so I decided it was time to fulfill my long-awaited dream of getting a thermal camera. It’s winter, and my heating bill has gone up. This enables you to jump to the parts you need and skip the ones that don’t apply to you. There’s a lot here, but I’ve been careful to split up different paths and to make this whole page modular. Other sections go in depth for cloning or development. If you just want to see what’s possible, jump down to the Usage and Results sections for pictures and videos of the results you can get.
THERMAL CAMERA RASPBERRY PI SOFTWARE
If you just want to get up and running as fast as possible, use the Parts Required/ Hardware Setup sections to prepare the device, and then follow go to the Software Setup instructions to get up and running.
THERMAL CAMERA RASPBERRY PI INSTALL
The package is set up for quick and easy install or for cloning for more advanced users to play/tweak/develop further. This page contains both the background and documentation for the PyPi package pithermalcam, which connects an MLX90640 thermal camera to a Raspberry Pi.
