You do aim it. It has two side by side cameras. A visible light camera and the IR camera. The idea is that in the app, you can swipe back and forth to see clearly what you are looking at. They don’t line up perfectly at all distances. Close up, like 2 feet away from the object, the misalignment is obvious. They seem to be calibrated to line up with each other at a distance from across the room. More of a sweeping wide angle view of the side of a house.
It’s mainly intended to see where your home might need weatherstripping or insulation.
I took a picture of my wife about five minutes after she had climbed into bed. You can see the blankets insulate well, but are starting to warm up.
