  • Detecting Pests with Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imagers are an increasingly popular, non-intrusive solution for finding pests in walls and other hidden places. From rodents to hornets to termites, many homeowners and building maintenance professionals are using thermal to quickly locate nests and avoid spreading chemicals like insecticides around homes. However, successfully finding pests requires understanding a few key things about thermal imaging.

  • How Does Emissivity Affect Thermal Imaging?

    Emissivity is a measure of how efficiently an object radiates heat, i.e. how well the surface of an object “tells the truth” about its temperature. Emissivity values range from 0 (a theoretically perfect mirror that reflects all energy) to 1 (a theoretical object called a blackbody that perfectly absorbs and radiates all energy). Notice that the emissivity values of 0 and 1 can only be achieved in theory: in reality, physical objects can be better described as ranging from 0.01 to 0.99 on the emissivity scale.

  • Thermal Camera Specs You Should Know Before Buying

    The number of specifications listed for a thermal camera can be overwhelming when you’re trying to find the right camera for your needs. Any spec in isolation won’t tell you much about the camera—instead, it’s a combination of factors that determine a thermal imager’s capabilities. All specs provide useful information, but here are the main ones you need to consider to ensure you’re purchasing the right camera for your application.

  • Saving Beehives Using the FLIR ONE

    Beekeepers are increasingly turning to thermal imaging to help them care for their bees, especially during winter. Master beekeeper Rusty Burlew, who writes and maintains the beekeeping site Honey Bee Suite, has been using a FLIR ONE for several years, and highly recommends investing in a thermal camera for beekeeping.

  • Firefighters Use a FLIR TIC to Make a Lifesaving Grab

    When a burning building is filled with smoke, a thermal imaging camera (TIC) may be a firefighter’s best chance for navigating the interior to locate and rescue victims. This past summer, firefighters Robert McCarthy and Randy Rosseau with Palm Bay Fire Rescue in Florida made lifesaving use of a TIC, the FLIR K40, when they entered an active house fire and rescued a man and several dogs.

  • 5 Best Practices for Data Center Perimeter Security

    A recent IHS Markit report predicted that, by 2030, there will be 125 billion Internet-connected devices participating in the now well-known and widespread Internet of Things (IoT). Network surveillance cameras, lifestyle wearables, and smart home devices are all prime examples of IoT solutions today that are capturing an unprecedented amount of information. Now, there are more than three million data centers in the U.S. that are storing, processing and protecting this data. This data has become essential to everyday life for consumers and businesses alike. Consequently, perimeter security for data centers must be taken seriously. It is essential to execute strategies that proactively address security threats and prevent security breaches that would result in the loss of critical information.

  • Thermal Cameras Tips to Avoid Common Home Inspection Mistakes

    Thermal cameras are amazing tools with the power to reveal hidden problems that other technologies can’t detect, such as water leaks, heat/cold infiltration, and pests. But understanding what you’re looking at with thermal imaging isn’t always easy, even for those with subject matter expertise in building inspection, HVAC, or electrical systems. If you have purchased a thermal camera or are thinking about adding thermal imaging to your inspection program, be sure to avoid these common mistakes.
