Testing the Flir c2 thermal cam
on
Before Christmas 2019 we bought a FLIR cam, a thermal image camera. With that cam it is possible to detect leaks of warmth in a building. It shows temperature as colour as an overlay over a normal photo.
When the thermal camera is pointed at an object, the microbolometer measures the temperature of the object and converts the temperature into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed by the camera's electronics and displayed on the screen as a visual image. The image shows the relative temperature of different parts of the object, with warmer areas appearing brighter and cooler areas appearing darker.
Thermal cameras are often used in a variety of applications, including building inspection, wildlife observation, search and rescue, and law enforcement. They are particularly useful in situations where it is difficult to see objects clearly due to darkness, fog, or smoke, as they can detect heat even in low visibility conditions.
