On the color mode it shows heat in orange and yellow, and cooling in grey tones. It can detect a temp difference of 1 degree, I haven't tried it from the exterior, too hot out there, on the inside I can see heat entry at base boards and door weather strippings, and even found a crack in a wood door [ a real expensive wood door] that I didn't see before using the camera on it.

On the flat roofs, per the information I read it's best to do the scan after the sun goes down, on them it will cost you 2 cokes

Some day the cameras will be in every inspectors bag....or rather, if Home Inspection prices rise considerably. (absolutely pathetic)

I have a hard time wondering how some of these nit-wits are staying in business....I've seen them advertised as low as $195.00 with a termite report 2000 sq. ft. just sickens me. (NACHI members)

A couple requirements of every AZ inspector should be attending one of Jim Eckleys [ eckleyand associates.com] seminars and see first hand what an attorney will do to an inspector when they screw up.

The other is attend a mock BTR enforcement committee meeting before going out and performing an inspection. One or both of them will likely change an inspectors opinion on what our liability is. If that doesn't do the trick they won't be around long enough to worry about.

The big problem I see is that an [ unnamed org.].sets a bad example for the beginner from the start by stating that they are the greatest HI org in the world and offer membership values of over $50,000 for joining them for the low fee of $289.00.
Then that same org sends out emails and make public posts that membership is free if you sign up for one day wonder mold certifications or agree to promote an alarms company's agenda. I guess the old saying " you get what you pay for" has some merit.... duh if being a member in that org is so valuable why do they have to give memberships away.

Dan there is some merit to what you say, but you and I both know there are more than a couple of Ding-Dongs attending meetings of the other not mentioned HI Org. As for attorneys, if you make a mistake doing anything in this day and age you will run the risk of an attorney trying to put words into your mouth, mines full already.

Here you Dan, one of your "brothers" and a franchiser to boot offering a free Brinks system, you had better call him.

And while you are at it, please tell him to stop sending me those yearly come work for me letters.
