## Description

Thermal Camera FX: Real IR unlocks thermal-style visuals and real infrared imaging by connecting FLIR cameras to your mobile device. It offers 17+ visual filters (SFX) for dramatic looks, live streaming over your local network with PiP, and robust tools like pro composition grids and extensive UI customization for photography and videography.

Note: Visual effects (SFX) are entertainment-only and do not measure temperature. Real thermal imaging requires an external IR camera. The app is free to download with ad-supported filters, plus upgrade options (rentals, subscriptions, or a lifetime unlock) to access the full filter collection.
