Thermal cameras, or infrared cameras, detect and capture infrared radiation emitted by objects, converting it into a visible image that shows temperature differences. This allows them to visualize heat signatures that are invisible to the naked eye, enabling non-contact inspection and analysis across a wide range of applications like electrical maintenance, building diagnostics, security, and firefighting. These cameras work by measuring the heat energy radiated from objects, with hotter objects emitting more radiation, which is then translated into a color-coded image representing the temperature distribution.
