🔹 What is a Thermal Camera?
•A thermal camera is a device that detects infrared (heat) radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visual image.
•Warmer areas appear in different colors than cooler areas, creating a thermal map.
🔹 Where is a Thermal Camera used?
•Electrical Inspections – Detect overheating in panels, transformers, etc.
•Solar Plants – Check for defective or malfunctioning solar panels.
•Building Inspections – Detect insulation issues, leaks, and water seepage.
•Firefighting – Locate people in smoke-filled or dark areas.
•Medical Screening – Body temperature screening (especially during COVID).
🔹 Key Features
•High-resolution thermal imaging.
•Wide temperature detection range.
•Real-time image and video capture.
•Multiple color palettes to show different temperature zones.
•Data storage and analysis software support.
🔹 Types of Thermal Cameras
Handheld Thermal Camera – Portable, for field inspections.
Fixed-mount Thermal Camera – Installed permanently for continuous monitoring (like in power plants).
Drone-mounted Thermal Camera – For surveying large areas like solar farms, forests, etc.
