    Night vision equipment for mortals

    There are two main markets for thermal imaging and they have very different requirements. The engineering market; heating engineers looking for leaks, electronic engineers looking for hotspots on circuit boards etc. These don't need magnification but they do need configurability and they need...

    Night vision equipment for mortals

    The only thermal camera I have used has been for home insulation surveying (with some wildlife watching on the side). That camera was highly configurable, as well as setting the colour palette you could set the temperature of the high point and the low point of the scale. This helped a lot with...

    Night vision equipment for mortals

    Thermal imagers are split into two usage markets. Engineering use, for electronics and HVAC use where you want no magnification usually look at the results on a screen and want a lot of data and controlability. Security use, looking for people. You want magnification. These usually have...

    Thanks for the review. It is good to have feedback with someone actually using equipment rather than just looking at spec sheets.

    Night vision equipment for mortals

    The near IR in modern smartphones are designed for use in the face recognition unlock function. They are not designed for image taking, 3rd party Android apps can access them for images but as far as I'm aware the NIR camera on iPhones can't be accessed for image taking. Most cheap(er) thermal...

    Night vision equipment for mortals

    Most consumer night vision does not use thermal (heat) infra red. It either uses image intensifiers to boost the visible light levels, so won't work in total darkness but will work in moonlight or even starlight. Or it uses so called near-infrared, shining a torch, or a floodlight, of light that...
