infrared cameras

Thermal vision devices

Infrared cameras detect heat radiation rather than visible light, creating images based on temperature differences.

They're used for night vision, thermal imaging in building inspections, medical diagnostics, and wildlife observation.

Unlike regular cameras, they can see through darkness and reveal heat signatures: The infrared camera showed where insulation was missing in the walls.
