In order for FLIR ONE for Android to work with an Android phone, you must consider the following:
- Android version must be 5.0 or higher. A list of compatible devices can be found here.
- Your phone must support USB OTG (On The Go). OTG is a protocol in which USB allows tablets or smartphones to act as hosts so that other USB devices such as USB sticks, digital cameras, mice or keyboards can be recognized. To check that your phone supports OTG, please contact your phone manufacturer.
Depending on your phone and the version of FLIR ONE you have, your connections may be different and an adapter may be required. Check the following.
Phones with Micro-USB connector
If your phone has a Micro-USB port and your FLIR ONE has a different connector, then you need an adapter for the camera to fit the phone. You can use any of the commercially available brands, but the adapter must be OTG compatible.
Phones with USB Type-C connector
If your phone has a USB Type-C socket and your FLIR ONE has a Micro-USB connector, you need an adapter. You can use any of the commercially available brands, but the adapter must be OTG compatible.
Disclaimer: Non-manufacturer branded adapters have not been tested directly by FLIR. If you have questions, please make an inquiry to contact one of our product specialists.
