Want to know how an IR camera works?

​

An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image on a video monitor and perform temperature calculations. Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems.

​

Why measure temperature?

​

Finding a problem with an infrared camera is sometimes not enough. In fact, an infrared camera image alone without accurate temperature measurements says very little about the condition of an electrical connection or worn mechanical part. Many electrical targets are operating properly at temperatures that are significantly above ambient. An infrared image without temperature measurement can be misleading because it may visually suggest a problem that does not exist.

What does FLIR stand for ?

​

The acronym FLIR stands for " Forward Looking Infrared Radiometer," a technology developed by the U.S. military in the 1970's. Although commonly confused with " night vision," FLIR is actually capable of creating an image through fog, dust, and other obstructions as well. Unlike night vision, FLIR uses heat only and does not require any light whatsoever to operate.
