In the inspection industry, infrared cameras are mainly used to gauge what’s referred to as “apparent” temperature. Because of the differing levels of emissivity of different areas and objects, as well as other factors that can influence data, such as...
Infrared cameras can be used during building inspections and energy audits to locate problems that can be found by viewing differences in temperature, which the camera sees as infrared radiation and presents as gradient colors. Every object warmer than absolute zero...
Infrared radiation was first discovered over 200 years ago, in 1800, by William Herschel. Herschel was a British astronomer most famous for discovering Uranus. While testing filters for his telescope that would allow him to look directly at the sun, he realized that...
An infrared (IR) camera is a versatile, lightweight and cutting-edge device that can enhance an inspector’s understanding of a building’s different systems and components. Its ability to read heat as color and then display that information in a way...
