Why Heatbyte?
Most thermal cameras force you to choose between bad and expensive.The cheap ones, sub-$300 cameras from, give you blurry images you'd be embarrassed to show a client. The good ones start at $1,200 and go up from there. For an independent tech or a small crew, that's a hard number to justify.So most people borrow. Or skip it entirely.Heatbyte sits in the gap. ML-enhanced 320×240 imaging, processed on-device, in real time at $499 founding / $649 retail. Sharp enough to diagnose. Professional enough to show the customer. No app, no cloud, no subscription.
Who we are
We're engineers, not field techs. We'll be straight about that.What we saw was a market where the price gap between "good enough" and "actually good" had been sitting at $1,000+ for years and nobody had closed it.So we built Heatbyte to find out if we could.The prototype works. ML enhancement on a real 320×240 sensor produces images you can stand behind in front of a client. On-device PDF reports mean you never need a phone or a laptop on the job. At $499 founding / $649 retail means you can own it yourself without waiting for budget approval.
