A thermal camera works on the principle of thermal imaging (IR radiation). With This technology, ‘Forward looking infrared’ (FLIR) Cameras can detect the heat emitted by various objects by entering into the thermal spectrum. Our eyes are only capable of seeing the visible light and cannot reach longer thermal wavelengths. However, these cutting-edge FLIR cameras can easily look into thermal spectrum and provide a level of functionality and security unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. These cameras operate in the range of 8 to 12 micrometer spectrum. In this spectrum, you're essentially seeing heat instead of light. This energy is not visible to the normal human eye.

Which Device Will Yield the Best Value for You – A Night Vision Device or a Thermal IP Camera?12/4/2017 People often use thermal imaging devices and night vision devices for a similar range of purposes. Each of these devices have their own merits. But, for the average Australian, understanding which of these devices will yield better returns can be difficult. To make this decision simpler, you will probably need to consider the following parameters:
Experts opine that a combination of the two kinds of devices might be the best solution. This is because night vision devices are useful for recognising objects, but not as much for detecting them. In contrast, thermal cameras can detect objects, but not recognise them. Therefore, combining the two devices might be the best solution. For instance, hunters often use thermal imagers for scanning the field. Thereafter, they use night vision rifle scopes for shooting the object. Many property owners feel secure with the burglar alarms in their homes. These systems trigger alarms the moment someone breaks in to the property. Hence, they have been very popular for decades. The advent of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras altered the landscape significantly. These cameras worked around the clock and kept the property under surveillance. As such, the occupants were easily able to keep tabs on the presence of strangers in and around their properties. But, some people found these cameras below par when it came to keeping the property under surveillance at night. Very often, the night-time images of these cameras were obscure and unclear. As a result, although they remain popular devices in the security industry, they do not offer a foolproof solution.
Thermal imaging cameras are not exactly cameras. Rather, they are sensors that can detect the presence of heat (or infrared or thermal energy). These devices are useful for detecting radiation. All objects emit some infrared rays. The more infrared rays that an object emits, the higher will be its temperature. Thermal imagers can spot minute difference in heat. This enables them to depict this in the form of an image (or thermogram) on a screen. Some devices use a range of colours for representing temperatures. Thermal cameras do not require light for producing images. This is because they focus on detecting radiation. In contrast, image intensification night vision devices require at least a small amount of light for functioning. In many cases, night vision cameras will be ideal for use at night. This is especially so when the moon and the stars are bright enough for the device to yield a good image. However, you will probably not be able to use night vision devices in places that feature no ambient light. To cope with this dependency, many night vision devices feature infrared illuminators. These illuminators work in a manner similar to flashlights. Unfortunately, they will reveal your position too. On a hunting expedition, this might not be an issue. But, because of this shortcoming, people seldom use these illuminators in their night vision devices during tactical and stealth operations. |
