Termovideokamerad

Termovideokamerad, also known as thermal imaging cameras or infrared cameras, are devices that detect and visualize infrared radiation. Unlike conventional cameras that capture visible light, thermal cameras sense heat signatures emitted by objects. This allows them to "see" in complete darkness, through smoke, fog, and even some obscurants. The generated image, called a thermogram, displays temperature differences using a spectrum of colors, where different colors represent varying temperature levels.

The core component of a thermal video camera is a microbolometer, which is an array of tiny thermal sensors. When infrared radiation strikes these sensors, they heat up, and this temperature change is converted into an electrical signal. These signals are then processed by sophisticated electronics to create a visible image on a display screen. The sensitivity and resolution of a thermal camera determine the level of detail and the smallest temperature differences it can detect.

Termovideokamerad have a wide range of applications. They are crucial in building inspections for identifying insulation deficiencies, water leaks, and electrical faults by detecting temperature anomalies. In security and surveillance, they enable night vision and detection of intruders. The military and law enforcement utilize them for reconnaissance, target acquisition, and search and rescue operations. Firefighters employ them to locate victims in smoky environments and assess fire spread. Furthermore, they are used in industrial maintenance for predictive diagnostics of machinery and in the automotive industry for testing and development.
