thermal camera
Infrared vision device
A thermal camera detects infrared radiation—heat—rather than visible light, producing images that show temperature differences across a scene.
Warmer objects appear brighter or in distinct colors depending on the display mode.
Used in building inspection, search and rescue, military operations, and medical screening: The thermal camera revealed heat escaping through the poorly insulated windows.
