B/W or dual mode camera with LED illuminators for night vision a/k/a: LED camera, night vision camera
These cameras are well suited for surveillance of low light areas or areas with no light at all. Infrared LEDs surround the lens and shine infrared light, illuminating the scene. They usually have a fixed focal length lens, and present b/w images during low light (though some offer color in the day and b/w at night).
Electronics, lens, and detector combinations the give the user an image, that can be viewed or recorded, of energy in the infrared spectrum.
a device that forms an image using infrared radiation , similar to a common camera that forms an image using
a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image on a video monitor and perform temperature calculations
A optical/electrical device that transfers thermal radiation into a visible image that is displayed on a CRT screen, Monitor, LCD or other display. Infrared cameras are primarily used Certified Infrared Thermographers in civilian industrial applications and Research and Development in what is called Infrared Thermography. Infrared imaging systems come in many capabilities and specific uses. They may only be able to display the infrared image, or they may be able digitally record the image and perform temperature measurements and analysis at the same. Infrared image cameras primarily work in the 3-5 or the 7-14 micron range. They should not be confused with Infrared film that is primarily used in photographic camera. Infrared film works in the .7 to 1 micron range and dose not see the thermal energy that is emitted from objects at close to ambient temperatures. Infrared film see the reflected energy off of objects that is at temperatures of greater that 1,100 deg. F
Infrared cameras (aka night vision cameras) have special infrared lights installed around the perimeter of the camera lens. This provides special light that the camera uses to capture a good picture even in total darkness. more
An instrument that measures heat. Infrared cameras are often used to detect weather patterns or volcanic erruptions.
