Thermal Sensitivity
Comparing Sensitivity of Thermal Imaging Camera Modules Beyond resolution, thermal camera integrators must consider thermal sensitivity Thermal imagers make pictures from heat, also called infrared (IR) or thermal energy. They capture IR energy and use that energy to create images through digital or analog video outputs, with the details defined by differences in temperature. Heat is a separate part of the electromagnetic spectrum versus typical visible light. A camera that can detect visible light won’t see thermal energy, and vice versa. Infrared camera detectors are made of an array of individual detector elements. Because the wavelengths of energy in the...

Is your camera explosion-proof? Here’s why you need the FLIR Cx5 on your next inspection job
FLIR CX5 HAZARDOUS LOCATION-RATED THERMAL CAMERA The FLIR Cx5 combines the convenience and imaging performance of the FLIR C5 with the ruggedness of an ATEX-compliant case. With the FLIR Cx5 you can: 1. WORK SAFE Potentially explosive environments, such as oil and gas plants or chemical plants, need to be protected from ignition sources. Electronic devices can be an ignition source, which is why – when used in these hot work environments – they need to comply with ATEX Product Regulations or similar regulations (e.g. UKEX and IECEx). The 160 x 120-pixel FLIR Cx5 is mounted in a rugged...
