infrared camera

An infrared camera detects heat emitted by objects and converts it into a visual image. Unlike regular cameras that capture visible light, infrared cameras sense infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects based on their temperature. hotter objects emit more infrared radiation, appearing brighter in the image, while cooler objects appear darker. This technology is useful for night vision, detecting heat leaks, electrical inspections, and surveillance, providing visibility even in complete darkness or through obscurants like fog or smoke. Essentially, it turns heat patterns into images we can interpret visually.
