Thermal Cameras

Thermal Cameras provides best-in-class imagery for industrial, military, and manufacturing R&D applications.

FLIR Thermal Cameras with high-definition resolution, temperature accuracy, and unsurpassed image clarity to help you quickly troubleshoot electrical or mechanical faults, find hot spots in substations and power lines, and keep systems running smoothly.

FLIR long range infrared camera systems designed for range tracking, target signature, research, and science applications. These high performance, full-featured radiometric instruments that can survive the harshest of environments.

Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal video and thermal imaging, is a process where a thermal camera captures and creates an image of an object by using infrared radiation emitted from the object in a process, which are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermographic cameras usually detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9,000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 μm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero according to the black body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to see one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see variations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds; humans and other warm-blooded animals become easily visible against the environment, day or night. As a result, thermography is particularly useful to the military and other users of surveillance cameras.
