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.

INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA WITH FLIP-OUT SCREEN

Thermal cameras are the next best thing to x-ray vision! While regular cameras record visible light, thermal cameras detect infrared radiation—or temperature. Thermal cameras used to be reserved only for scientists or engineers. Now, advances in thermal sensors, LCD interfaces, and rechargeable batteries have allowed Teslong to build some of the most capable imaging inspection tools on the market for a cost that’s hard to believe. They're an excellent tool for locating people in the dark, finding short circuits, inspecting buildings for water leaks, insulation placement, and many more uses!

The Teslong TTS300 includes an infrared array of 256x192 for a total of 49,000+ points of temperature detection. This device doesn’t just see temperature variations, it can also calculate the actual temperatures of the surfaces you point it at. Six different color palette options are available at the push of a button to optimize your screen to whatever thermal landscape you are viewing. The Teslong TTS300 has a telephoto lens and macro focus mode, allowing you to see anything—near or far—in stunning detail. Perfect for house inspection, automobile diagnostics, electronics repair, outdoor adventure, and night hunting. See beyond your naked eye by using infrared vision!

Manual Macro Focus

The adjustable focus allows the viewer to see objects as close as 8 inches—just turn the focusing ring to adjust the lens into macro mode.

Telephoto Zoom

Combine the medium telephoto optical lens with a 1-4x digital zoom to see at a distance, then adjust to macro mode to see details up close.

Temperature Tracking

The TTS300 thermal camera can not only detect the target temperature, but also automatically identify the lowest temperature point and high temperature point. At the same time, the range of detection temperature can be set to eliminate interference items.

6 Different Color Palettes

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