| IMAGING camera? HIGH RESOLUTION â A | | | | Grayscale signals from all the pixels are converted to |
| high pixel count like 680x480 provides more | | | | a TV signal forming a composite image. THERMAL |
| information and clearer images than a lower resolution | | | | IMAGING â the IR camera shows us surface |
| like 80 x80 just like when you buy a a higher mega | | | | radiation or temperature patterns. It does not see inside |
| pixel digital camera. INFRARED (IR) is a different part | | | | walls, that would be an x-ray. We are usually looking at |
| of the electromagnetic spectrum of light than our eyes | | | | the affects or images of evaporative water cooling |
| see. Infrared is just below visible light that our eyes | | | | like when drywall is wet and conductive thermal |
| see. Ultraviolet light, on the other hand, is the spectrum | | | | transfer like when insulation is missing. With our |
| just above our perception. All surfaces emit and reflect | | | | knowledge of building characteristics, construction |
| infrared waves through the air. These waves travel | | | | materials and thermal transfer, we interpret these |
| through the lens of the camera which focuses them | | | | temperature patterns to produce a building |
| onto a sensory array called a microbolometer. The | | | | performance diagnostic inspection report. |
