ThruTracker Recorder v1.1.0

ThruTracker Recorder v1.1.0

🦇 Free for all users through December 31, 2027, to promote the adoption of thermal videography for wildlife conservation.

Android-only update — the Windows app is unchanged (the attached installer is the same build as v1.0.6; no need to reinstall on Windows).

Downloads

• Android 10+: ThruTrackerRecorder.apk — sideload (allow "install from unknown sources"); installs directly over v1.0.6.
• Windows 10/11: ThruTrackerRecorder-Setup.exe — unchanged from v1.0.6.

Android highlights

• New: HTI HT-301 thermal camera support (VID 0x1514 / PID 0x0001), alongside the existing TopDon TD002C Duo. The HT-301 streams over USB isochronous transfers, so this adds a native isochronous capture path (the TopDon bulk path is unchanged). The camera is auto-detected and switched into its raw 16-bit radiometric mode.
• Experimental — HT-301 support is newly added and still being field-validated. If a camera doesn't stream, the on-screen field log records the capture state for diagnostics. TopDon TD002C behavior is unchanged from v1.0.6.

See the README for install details.

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.6

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.6

🦇 Free for all users through December 31, 2027, to promote the adoption of thermal videography for wildlife conservation.

Android-only update — the Windows app is unchanged (the attached installer is the same 1.0.4 build; no need to reinstall on Windows).

Downloads

• Android 10+: ThruTrackerRecorder.apk — TopDon TD002C Duo over USB-C OTG. Sideload (allow "install from unknown sources"); installs directly over v1.0.5.
• Windows 10/11: ThruTrackerRecorder-Setup.exe — FLIR Scout Pro + TopDon TD002C Duo. Unchanged from v1.0.4/v1.0.5.

Android highlights

• Native USB capture path for higher frame rates: camera transfers are now reaped in a tight native (C) loop rather than across the Java/JNI boundary, to push phones that topped out around 24.5 fps toward a steady 25. If the native path isn't available or doesn't take on a given phone, the app automatically falls back to the v1.0.5 Java capture path — so this is never worse than before.
• The field log's STREAMING line now records which capture path is active (native vs. Java) for easy diagnostics.

See CHANGELOG.md and the README for install details.

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.5

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.5

🦇 Free for all users through December 31, 2027, to promote the adoption of thermal videography for wildlife conservation.

Android-only update — the Windows app is unchanged (the attached installer is the same 1.0.4 build; no need to reinstall on Windows).

Downloads

• Android 10+: ThruTrackerRecorder.apk — TopDon TD002C Duo over USB-C OTG. Sideload (allow "install from unknown sources"); installs directly over v1.0.4.
• Windows 10/11: ThruTrackerRecorder-Setup.exe — FLIR Scout Pro + TopDon TD002C Duo. Unchanged from v1.0.4.

Android highlights

• Full 25 fps on more phones: the USB read path now keeps multiple transfers queued in the kernel (asynchronous read-ahead) with an elevated-priority capture thread. Phones whose USB stack has a slow per-call turnaround previously capped out around 14 fps; the camera's full 25 fps now comes through.
• Preview stays large: new landscape side-panel layout — the live preview fills the screen height in its own column, with status, Levels (rotation/contrast/brightness), and record controls in a column on the right. Opening Levels no longer shrinks the preview.
• The stall warning banner now overlays the preview, so it stays visible even in fullscreen.

See CHANGELOG.md and the README for install details.

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.4

ThruTracker Recorder v1.0.4

🦇 Free for all users through December 31, 2027, to promote the adoption of thermal videography for wildlife conservation.

First public release — thermal video recorder apps for wildlife observation, producing steady segmented recordings ready for analysis in ThruTracker.

Downloads

• Windows 10/11: ThruTrackerRecorder-Setup.exe — FLIR Scout Pro + TopDon TD002C Duo. Code-signed; per-user install, no admin required.
• Android 10+: ThruTrackerRecorder.apk — TopDon TD002C Duo over USB-C OTG. Sideload (allow "install from unknown sources").

Highlights

• FLIR Scout Pro (Windows): ✨ Auto scene tuning (sky-only / sky + treetops / whole-scene), full real contrast range, reliable segmented MJPEG recording.
• TopDon TD002C Duo (Windows + Android): true 25 fps radiometric recording with a background-anchored contrast window built for small, low-contrast bats — lossless MKV or compressed MP4, optional raw 16-bit archive, manual window control.
• Field-hardened: stall/freeze watchdogs with auto-recovery, field log beside the recordings, graceful segment finalization.
• Both apps check this repository on launch and offer new versions (fully offline-capable — the network is never required to record).

See CHANGELOG.md and the README for install details.
