thermal sensor
Temperature measuring device
A thermal sensor is a device that detects and measures temperature or heat.
Thermal sensors appear in thermostats, industrial equipment, smartphones, and medical devices.
Some detect infrared radiation to create heat maps or enable night vision: The security camera's thermal sensor picked up movement in the dark.
