About Thermal Imaging |
A thermal imager is a camera which is capable of detecting extremely small temperature differences. These temperature differences can be converted into a
real-time video image. Displayed on a monitor, this video image is extremely suited for night vision applications. Unlike other night vision systems that require low
amounts of light to generate an image, a thermal imager needs no light at all. This makes it the perfect tool to see in absolute darkness, to see during the darkest night.
