What is an infrared camera?

While traditional visible-light cameras capture images of objects radiating light visible to the naked eye, an infrared camera captures infrared light, which the human eye cannot see. All objects radiate some form of heat energy, but some wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum are invisible, including infrared. Sensors in an infrared camera capture a particular range of invisible energy emission (700-1000 nm) and then express each heat value (or wavelength) through a set of corresponding colors. The resulting image is called a thermography and is usually viewable on a thermal imaging viewer, or LCD screen, which displays the thermograph.

What is a thermal imaging camera?

Everything with thermal energy emits a certain amount of infrared light. So oftentimes, the terms thermal imaging camera and infrared camera are used interchangeably - these can also be called a handheld thermal scanner. Thermal imaging sensors detect infrared radiation and then express each heat value (or wavelength) through a set of corresponding colors that is viewable on a screen.

What is a thermal night vision monocular used for?

Thermal night vision, or infrared monoculars have many uses. They are best for identifying areas of temperature change or difference. An example of this can include finding an animal or human in the woods or on the water, identifying water leaks in a home or in industrial applications, performing security at night and in dark areas, investigating how well something is insulated, finding components that are overheating on a circuit board, and more.

Which is better thermal vision or night vision?

It depends on your application, but in general thermal, or infrared, cameras give you more information. For instance a night vision camera with a visible light sensor can’t see water leaks, overheating capacitors, or calculate the temperature of a surface from a distance the way a thermal camera can.

What is an infrared illuminator?

An infrared illuminator is a light that only emits infrared light. Although infrared light cannot be seen with the naked human eye this still can be a valuable tool. Infrared illuminators can be used to signal to people who are viewing through an infrared camera, thereby allowing them to communicate without anyone else seeing. You can also use an IR illuminator to shine infrared light on a subject and view that subject with a thermal imaging camera if that subject is particularly dark and cold.

From a terminology standpoint infrared radiation is defined by having the wavelength in the fixed interval 0.7 - 300 micrometers, this is a convention of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the term thermal radiation refers to the thermal radiation emitted by all objects - it does not have a wavelength designation. When it comes to infrared cameras however, they are frequently referred to as thermal imaging cameras.

What can a handheld infrared camera be used for?

Infrared cameras can be used for many things. They are best for identifying areas of temperature change or difference. An example of this can include finding an animal in the woods or on the water, identifying water leaks in a home or in industrial applications, measuring temperature of people during a pandemic, investigating how well something is insulated, finding components that are overheating on a circuit board, and more.

Can you use a thermal imaging camera for firefighting?

A thermal imaging camera can’t fight a fire directly, but it can help firefighters do many things. Firefighting thermal imaging cameras can be used to find hotspots, determine if there is fire behind a wall or door, locate someone lost in the wilderness, or recently one was used to determine that a human was asleep inside a room in a burning building, which then initiated a rescue.

Can a handheld infrared camera be used as an infrared water leak detector?

Water, or other fluid, leaks almost always emit a different wavelength of infrared light compared to their dry surroundings. If you view a puddle of water or a stream of drips it will be identifiable to someone performing an inspection with an infrared camera. Infrared cameras make excellent infrared water leak detectors.

A Thermal Camera That Fits In Your Pocket

Portable Thermal Power

The Teslong pocket thermal camera is available with two sensor options - one with 160x120 resolution, and the other with a 256x192 resolution sensor. Both have a fast 25Hz frame rate to capture clear images and record smooth videos. Detailed temperature changes are easy to monitor with 50mK thermal sensitivity over a temperature range from -59℉ to 1112℉ (-15°C to 600°C). It's the perfect thermal camera for home, auto, or DIY applications!

USB-C Conectivity

This device plugs into the USB-C port on your Android mobile device to work seemlessly with the Teslong Thermal app. Photos and videos are saved to your phone's memory and the TTM160/TTM260 work off your phone's battery so you don't have to worry about charging it. This device is not currently compatible with Apple mobile devices.

Temperature Tracking

The TT160P/TTM260P detects the target temperature and automatically identifies the lowest and highest temperature points.

Highlight Temperature

Pinpoint the maximum and minimum temperatures within a selected area.

Regional Temperature Measurement

Use the Teslong Thermal app's on-screen drawing tools to designate where you want to track maximum and minimum temperatures. Choose from a point, line or rectangle.

High Temperature Alarm

Set a high temperature alarm to monitor any situation. The TTM160P and TTM260P's wide temperature range makes them a valuable tool for many applications.

Color Palette with 6 color modes

The color palette button cycles through six different color modes to provide the best thermal contrast against a range of backgrounds.
