Night vision devices have undergone at least three evolutions, from low-light to infrared and now to thermal imaging. Is infrared thermal imaging truly useful?
I've found some information that thermal imaging uses the surface temperature of an object to generate a temperature distribution map, unlike our typical visible light cameras. It's also said to offer full night vision, meaning it can capture images even in complete darkness, without any light at all, and can even see through smog and thick smoke. However, I'd like to ask: as far as I know, thermal imaging products are quite expensive. How can they be integrated into people's lives?
I've read online that the principle was already being applied to the military, and then to specialized industries like industry and power generation that require temperature measurement. But then, suddenly, more and more e-commerce platforms like JD.com and Tmall have started selling thermal imaging night vision devices. Is there really a market for these infrared devices, costing tens of thousands of yuan? Who would use them? Outdoor enthusiasts? Ordinary hikers? Or perhaps even experts in scientific research?
But then again, the question arises: Is a night vision device purchased solely for observing animals? Why spend so much money on such an activity? Just this year, not long ago, an outdoor extreme sports event used infrared technology, and the images were stunning. Perhaps, in some events, infrared technology can ensure safety, aiding in locating lost individuals, or perhaps even providing a useful tool. Or perhaps, people will argue that temperature is an objective reality and will always have its uses. So, where are its uses? Before I was even prepared, or even paying attention, this product suddenly caught my eye. Okay, I'm a bit behind the times. I consider myself someone who values stillness and doesn't blindly pursue so-called coolness or fashion. But at least I'm curious. I wonder, if thermal imaging cameras could be integrated into our lives, even with our indispensable mobile phones, could they become part of our lives? And how much would we be willing to spend on them?
Let me recommend a low-light-level infrared thermal imager with a price and specs that will satisfy you! The images are also excellent!
