Caterpillar offers phone with built-in FLIR camera

I'm actually considering buying a IR camera for testing insulation (I have a contractor working in my apartment and due to various instance of clear fraud from him I have no confidence or trust in him anymore). Would a HTI HT-102 be enough or is it better to get a better sensor?

32x32 sensor is useless. You need at least 160x120px.

Cell phone attachment cameras have compatibility problems. For example, find reviews for Flir One Pro. If the cell cannot find the camera, then it's pretty useless.

I remember a few years back you could buy the cheapest FLIR camera and upgrade it to the expensive model with a firmware hack.
