Affordable Thermal Imaging Cameras

While traditional cameras click pictures of the subject, replicating it on film, thermal cameras (also known as thermal imaging cameras) are a little different. These cameras employ thermal imaging techniques, leveraging infrared (IR) technology to reveal heat emissions from different objects. Thus, these cameras convert IR energy, which is not visible to the naked eye, into a visible light display. All objects emit IR or thermal energy above absolute zero temperature, and the changes in these emissions are used for thermal imaging. Thermal cameras capture these ‘images’, which represent the object’s temperature. While these devices were initially developed for military purposes, today, they are extensively used for various reasons. By offering a clear and accurate picture of thermal abnormalities, these devices help in the early detection of potential issues, maximizing operational efficiency, safety, and savings. For example, you can use these cameras during home inspections to detect heat loss, identify damaged heating or cooling systems, pinpoint electrical hazards, and detect moisture or leaks. Other applications of thermal cameras include gas detection, home security, and checking the body temperatures of animals. Thus, you can easily detect several issues by bringing home this device. The price of a thermal camera varies based on features and specifications, making it a valuable investment for various uses.

Components and features of thermal cameras

Thermal cameras do not function like ordinary cameras. A typical camera works in the same way as a human eye – visible light energy bounces off the subject, which is received by the detector. This is then converted into an image.

Thermal imaging cameras utilise heat (IR or thermal energy) to form images instead of visible light and, hence, employ different parts.

• Objective lens: While designing the objective lens, its focal length is considered carefully, as it directly affects the unit’s magnification. That is, the bigger the focal length, the bigger the magnification. It also impacts the field of view (inversely proportional) and the detection range (directly proportional). The objective lens is utilised to collect radiation in the near-IR, short-wave IR, mid-wave IR, or long-wave IR spectra and to focus the object on the detector.
• Thermal sensor: In a thermal camera, thousands of detectors that are sensitive to thermal IR radiation combine to form a sensor. This sensor, in turn, identifies, records, and converts this thermal IR information into electrical signals, which are used to provide video or image output. You have two types of sensors: cooled and uncooled sensors.
• Sensor resolutions: Unlike regular cameras, thermal cameras use lower resolutions due to expensive sensor technology. Furthermore, larger pixels influence the sensor size and the cost of materials and production. Hence, you usually come across resolutions ranging from 160 x 128 pixels to 640 x 480 pixels (VGA). Intuitively, a larger image sensor produces higher resolution and improved image quality.
• Thermal enclosures: Thermal imaging cameras that are installed outdoors require protection from dust, heat, water, and other weather elements. Thus, these cameras require protective enclosures.
