Seek Thermal 🇺🇸

Seek Thermal is a highly innovative American manufacturer that completely disrupted the thermal imaging industry by miniaturizing massive, expensive thermal sensors into incredibly small, affordable consumer and enterprise devices. Founded by industry pioneers in Santa Barbara, California, Seek Thermal’s mission is to make ‘thermal imaging a part of everyday life.’

For the live event and venue management industry, Seek Thermal is most famous for two distinct ecosystems. First, their Seek Scan system became a massive hit for health security. It is a wildly simple, kiosk-based thermal fever screening system. Attendees walk up to a screen, the camera automatically finds their face, measures their temperature against an included fixed heat source (Blackbody), and flashes green or red—all without requiring a dedicated human operator.

Second, Seek Thermal is renowned for their ultra-compact smartphone attachments (the Seek Compact series). These tiny dongles plug directly into an iOS or Android device, instantly turning the event producer’s smartphone into a highly powerful thermal camera. This allows touring technicians to walk the stage, point their phone at a massive lighting rig, and instantly identify overheating fixtures.
