What Does the Thermal Imaging Camera Really See?

What Does the Thermal Imaging Camera Really See?

Dec 22,2022
Because thermal imaging technology is designed to record heat, it absorbs a lot more heat than a normal camera. We could talk all day about how good thermal imaging cameras are at finding people, animals, and other heat sources that are not easily recorded by the naked eye or even night vision cameras. But there's no better way to make our point than with photos.

Below are side-by-side images from a regular camera and a thermal imaging camera, so you can see the difference in what each camera "sees".

Smoke
Thermal imaging cameras can help you see through smoke. First responders have known the value of thermal imaging systems for years. This photo is a great example of how much you can see through smoke with a thermal imaging camera.

The image above shows how first responders use a thermal imaging camera when looking for victims engulfed in smoke.

Fog
These images show how much a thermal imaging camera can see in foggy conditions.

Glare
No one likes the harsh glare from headlights. It's hard enough seeing with the naked eye, but it's even worse when you're using a night vision camera.

Trees and Shrubs
Thermal cameras can be especially useful when you're driving on roads with lots of trees and shrubs next to them, or camping in a dense forest with a portable power pack. Thermal imaging cameras can detect people or animals hiding in trees or bushes long before headlights or flashlights can spot them. With a thermal imaging camera, you can prepare ahead of time to avoid vehicle collisions or to avoid disturbing animals in their habitat.

Fences and Other Solid Obstacles
Perhaps the most impressive thing about thermal cameras is that they can see through solid obstructions as long as the heat source is hidden behind them. You know, the reason the police were able to find one of the Boston Marathon bombers was that they used a thermal imaging camera, and he was hiding in a covered boat, and the thermal imaging camera found him easily.

Since thermal imaging cameras record more than anything else, it's a useful piece of safety equipment to have on the road at night. If you want to customize infrared thermal imaging equipment, please contact us.
