Today we will take a look at a unique device -- a LSJ Technology IR thermal imaging camera. They matter because they can let us look at things that are hotter or colder than our eyes can see. Here’s a closer look at what they do and what they can see.
IR thermal imaging cameras operate on the principle of detecting infrared radiation, which is emitted by objects. All objects emit heat, even if we can’t see it. The camera absorbs that heat and turns it into an image on a screen. This lets us view, say, warm air escaping a house or a hot wire that may be a hazard.
These cameras can see many things our eyes can’t. They can reveal heat leaks in buildings, which makes it easier for us to save energy and stay warm indoors. They can also detect electrical issues by indicating when wires are overheated. And hot wires can cause fires if not repaired.
A popular application for IR thermal imaging cameras is to detect heat losses in homes. When heat leaks out of a house, it’s likely to make us feel cold and waste energy. These cameras can reveal where the heat is getting away so we know where to patch it up. They also can help us find electrical problems before they get worse. By monitoring whether the wires are running too hot, we can prevent fires and keep our homes safe.
There are principally two types of IR thermal imaging cameras - handheld and fixed-mount. Handheld cameras are convenient to transport and ideal for cursory checks. They do a great job on small-mess and nooks and crannies. Fixed-mount cameras are more stationary and can be placed in one spot. They are best for watching large areas, such as factories or buildings, over time.
From firefighting to building inspection, IR thermal imaging cameras have been applied in various fields. Firefighters have relied on them to see through smoke and locate people who have become trapped in a fire. Technicians use them to inspect buildings for things like moisture or mold that we can’t see with our eyes. These cameras are useful tools that protect us in various ways.
There are a few things to consider when purchasing an IR thermal imaging camera. Use the resolution of the camera to see how clear the pictures will be. Take the temperature range the camera can see, because that is what it can see. Also consider the battery life and how long you can expect it to last while you use it. Last but not least, the size and weight of the camera should come into play, especially if you will be transporting the camera for an extended period.
