Most the digital stuff does suck but cameras like the Vayu HD are AWESOME

Yes, many thermal sensors, particularly in high-performance infrared cameras, are cooled to enhance their sensitivity and accuracy.

1280 x 960 isn't typically considered high resolution

it is for IR, sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about

Look at the windows in video… they even block the thermals … you have a better chance to look through windows with your bare eyes. Unless there is a really hot source or cold you wont see anything in buildings with retail thermals.

@@mace41canuck That was my thought but two cops (one a detective) and a tank turret mechanic told me otherwise and got belligerent when I didn't take them at their word.

@@mace41canuck BTW this was my first time seeing this channel and I didn't know when I subscribed it was basically a sales promo channel.

@@TobyCatVA i just ask AI and this is the response. Thermal cameras can detect heat signatures, which means they can indeed see people and warm objects through certain materials, but this doesn't extend to seeing through all types of walls and windows: - **Windows:** Typically, thermal cameras can see through regular glass windows quite effectively because glass is transparent to infrared radiation. However, if the window is coated with certain materials or films designed to block infrared, the camera's effectiveness might be reduced. - **Walls:** - **Thin or Lightweight Materials:** They might detect heat signatures through very thin walls or materials like plywood or some types of siding, especially if there's a significant temperature difference. - **Thick or Dense Materials:** For standard building materials like brick, concrete, or thick wood, thermal cameras will not see through them. These materials block or absorb infrared radiation, preventing it from passing through. - **Gaps and Insulation:** Thermal cameras can sometimes detect anomalies where heat might escape, like around windows, doors, or through poor insulation, but this isn't "seeing through" the wall so much as detecting heat loss patterns. - **Limitations:** - The thickness, density, and composition of the material significantly affect penetration. - The temperature difference between the object/person and the background is crucial. A greater difference makes detection more likely. - Interference from other heat sources outside the wall can confound readings. In summary, while thermal cameras are excellent for detecting heat differences and can sometimes give you information about what's on the other side of certain barriers, they are not capable of seeing detailed images or clear outlines of objects or people through solid, dense walls like those in most homes or buildings. They're more about detecting heat patterns and anomalies rather than providing X-ray vision.

Thank you for your interest! Pricing for our infrared technology varies depending on the specific camera model and its features, such as resolution, lens type, and cooling requirements.

Yes, our infrared technology can be used in both wildlife and in urban environments. Infrared cameras detect heat signatures from any object or being that emits thermal energy, making them versatile across various applications. To differentiate between human and animal gaits or thermal signatures, the camera relies on patterns of movement, size, and temperature distribution. Humans and animals emit distinct thermal patterns based on their body structure and movement.

Yes it is, and its an incredible lens design to take full advantage of the Hexablu cooler.

You're welcome! Infrared imaging has a way of looking truly otherworldly!

Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed it-there’s so much to explore with infrared technology, and we’re excited to share it with everyone!

Great question! Infrared sensors can become saturated when exposed to extremely high temperatures, such as fire, but we offer solutions to manage this. Many of our cameras include low-gain settings that help prevent saturation and extend the dynamic range of the sensor. These features allow the camera to capture more detail in high-temperature environments, making them ideal for applications like firefighting, industrial inspections, and monitoring intense heat sources.

Almost, but this is the real deal-exceptional infrared imaging at its finest!

Dead Pixels do happen from time to time and can easily be adjusted by a FCC. However, if the bad pixel remains we flag it and do what is called a, "Dead Pixel Replacement" test.

Will do!
