Hi, Just thought I'd share my project to add a Speedir thermal imaging camera to my 2015 85D and have it come up on the center screen. The project is nearly finished and here is a shot of the grill install (yes, needs a bit of tidying up) and the first video imaging in my driveway. I'll post more live footage soon.
The idea for those not familiar is that the thermal camera picks up heat from people and animals in darkness and low visibility conditions. This model of Speedir will box the image and change color with distance.
Where I live with many country roads and animals about this will hopefully help. The interface box is the one that @BearBu developed. I have a video output to HDMI converter interface box in between. The idea is to easily toggle into the thermal camera mode as required.
I'm readying for a long cross-country trip in a couple of weeks so it is sure to get a good workout.
I'll try to update with moving videos soon.
