  • 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.

  • What’s the Difference Between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Night Vision?

    Night vision has come a long way in the decades since its invention, and currently available devices can be classified into three distinct generations, defined primarily by the type of image intensifier tube used for the night vision device. An image intensifier tube (in technical terms) is а vасuum-ѕеаlеd tube containing а рhоtосаthоdе, mісrо-сhаnnеl рlаtе, and а рhоѕрhоr ѕсrееn that gives the device night vision capabilities. In simple terms, the image intensifier tube is what makes night vision possible. FLIR supplies Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision equipment. Both these generations represent a huge leap in quality from the first generation of night vision - Gen 2 devices are much closer in performance to Gen 3 than Gen 1. For comparison purposes we have highlighted the differences between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Image Intensification.

  • Can You See Toxic Emissions with Thermal Cameras?

    Most gases—methane, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), carbon monoxide, and hundreds of others—are invisible to the naked eye, just like the gases in the air around us. But can they be seen with a thermal camera? The answer is yes—sometimes. Most thermal imagers can’t directly detect gases, but Optical Gas Imaging cameras are highly specialized thermal cameras that are spectrally filtered to visualize specific gas emissions.
