  • Can Thermal Imaging See Through Fog and Rain?

    Thermal imaging cameras see in total darkness, producing clear, crisp images without the need for any light. This makes IR cameras excellent instruments for numerous night vision applications. Although thermal imaging cameras can see in total darkness, through light fog, light rain, and snow, the distance they can see is affected by these atmospheric conditions.

  • The Complete Thermal Firefighting System

    Firefighters depend on a number of technologies to help them in fire situations, search and rescue operations, wildland fires, and scenarios when they are battling hazardous chemical leaks. When entering a structure with a lot of smoke and little to no-visibility, thermal imaging can give sight to help analyze and assess the situation, identify obstacles, and help save lives. FLIR offers a number of solutions for fire departments and their firefighters for all aspects of their jobs.

  • Things to Know Before Conducting a Building Energy Audit

    How does one go about finding air and energy leaks, let alone addressing them? That process begins with an energy audit—a building assessment designed to detect and record the current  energy consumption of the building and to identify areas where the building can become more energy efficient. An audit can reveal minor inefficiencies—easily remedied with simple fixes such as adding weather stripping around windows—or help locate potentially larger issues before they become expensive to remedy.

  • Tech for Good – Thermal Technology for Locating Buried Landmines

    Mobility Robotics and Humanity & Inclusion made an award-winning breakthrough under actual field conditions during October 2019, March 2020, and March 2021 in the Central North African Republic of Chad. It was found that a temperature difference in the Sahara Desert sand was visible directly above where buried landmines were located, using FLIR IR cameras.

  • Is It Time to Upgrade Your FLIR Thermal Camera?

    When initially dipping their toes into the thermal camera waters, most first-time buyers look at the easy-to-use FLIR ONE. For someone that needs a thermal camera for quick checks once in a while, the FLIR ONE Pro or FLIR ONE Pro LT are great options. For those requiring thermography for regular usage at least a few times a week, if not multiple times per day, taking the next step to a dedicated thermal imaging camera can provide the additional efficiency and functionality required to improve productivity. Deciding on what thermal camera to buy comes down to matching the right features for the job.

  • Making Invisible CO2 Emissions Visible with FLIR OGI

    German public-service broadcaster, ZDF, produced a documentary on the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and its pricing for the global business magazine show, makro. To do so, ZDF reporter Manfred Kessler and photographer Armin Vater needed a reliable method to demonstrate the presence of CO2, which is invisible to humans. They found the right solution with FLIR Systems, the global market leader in thermal imaging, which produces a camera specifically for visualizing CO2.
