Introduction

  • A generalized photo/video point and shoot camera that can see in the IR Spectrum
  • Top choice - Thermografree - [1]. Logan Williams can help. 32x32 sensor - sufficient for decent thermal measurements of the Seed Eco-Home. This has 2 sensors, so it can overlay thermal images over standard images.

Used For

  • Engineering Work (Diagnosing gas leaks, seeing thermal insulation of buildings etc.)
  • Scientific Work
  • Search and Rescue (ie on boats at night)
