This tiny camera has one big feature

Last year, thermal imaging company called Flir announced a smartphone accessory called the Flir one, which let the users see in the dark. Now at CES 2016, they announced the Flir Scout TK, which is their first and smallest standalone thermal camera.

There is a downside, though, the Scout TK won't see everything that is in the dark, you would have to get more expensive models if you'd like to see everything. However, it can pick up heat signals from plants, humans and animals from as far as 100 yards away, which is the length of one football field. To use it is simple, put your eye up to the eyepiece, get the correct framing for the 640 x 480 display, and click the button on the top. Short press the button for an image, and long press for video. The Flir Scout TK is only four inches long and less than two inches wide, and weighs only six ounces. Unlike the Flir One, this thing does not need a smartphone to operate. Not to mention that it is weather-sealed and can handle temperatures between -4 to 104 degrees Fahrenhieght, can survive drops on hard surfaces. It also has a battery life of 5 hours, and will last months on standby. It also has enough internal storage to record and store 4 hours of video and 1,000 images.

The Flir Scout TK will be available later this year for $599. Stay Tuned to TechDependent for more CES 2016 coverage. To see all of our CES 2016 coverage, use the CES 2016 tags and/or category.
