What to know before buying

  • The 384×288 figure is SuperIR-enhanced output from a native 192×144 detector, not the detector's native resolution. Confirm that your device and connector are supported. The listing says a Lightning adapter is included for iPhone 14 and earlier, but does not specify exact supported device models.
