Here's a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module?

Guess it's just missing a mounting case?

Btw, why is that? It's not just a CCD in infrared wavelength? Or is it the thermal decoupling part?

No they are not CCD, they use microbolometers whatever those are. CCD IR sensors are for near infrared only, not the much longer thermal wavelengths.
