infrared camera

Thermal vision device

An infrared camera detects heat radiation rather than visible light, producing images based on temperature differences.

Used in night vision, building inspections, medical diagnostics, and wildlife observation.

The infrared camera revealed heat escaping through poorly insulated windows.

Objects appear brighter when warmer, allowing visibility in total darkness.
