Infrared Cameras (IR) Now Appearing Everywhere
The infrared camera is showing up in cars, doctors offices,
parking lots, preventing power failure even termite inspections. IR Cams can see in total darkness, or improve any low light condition.
Here are just a few examples where infrared cameras are
appearing for the first time:
Termite Inspection
Home inspectors are now using IR cameras to detect termite presence inside walls
and underneath any building.
Preventing Power Failure
Infrared cameras scan of electrical fuse boxes, high tension lines and other
electrical components. Powerline images can be measured, tracked and displayed on a computer via software programs such as the
Thermal Inspector Software from Trevon Technologies, Inc. Heat buildup and be measured and can trigger preventative mainenance before a power failure
occurs.
Automotive Use
Automakers are now begining to recognize the added benefit of infrared cameras. Experiments in test markets utilize an IR located in the rear bumer. IR technology helps drivers see with greater contrast and definition when backing up. Some IR car cameras operate under total darkness for distance up to (30) thirty feet. The built-in infrared LEDs turn on automatically under low light conditions.
Hospital Use
Infrared imaging has capabilities of detecting problems
within the human body.
