Can
thermal imaging cameras see through the walls?
No.
Although it appears as if you are seeing
through the walls, you are actually seeing the
temperature changes on the wall due to materials,
moisture, ect. directly on or behind the wall.
•Is
infrared thermography safe?
Yes, as safe as any camera.
•Is
infrared thermography destructive?
No.
Thermal imaging cameras are not intrusive or
destructive.
•Can
thermal imagers be used for hunting?
No.
Thermal imagers are ideal for finding
people and animals in in many situations,
they are illegal to use for hunting
purposes.
•What
is the difference between night vision and
infrared?
Infrared can be used in any
area regardless of light condition since it
detects heat.
Night vision needs light, even a
small amount, to amplify in order to see
objects in the dark.
How does
infrared thermography detect moisture?
As moisture evaporates, it creates a cooling
effect similar to getting out of the shower
and standing under a fan.
What do I need
to do before a scan?
Make sure everything is away from exterior
walls, curtains, pictures, and furniture.
These will need to be moved two hours before
a scan so the wall can acclimate to the
ambient temperature.
Will I receive
pictures of the findings?
Yes, you will receive a detailed report with
all images attached.
How long does it
take?
An average residence can be scanned in 2
hours with 2 more hours for report
generation. On large commercial projects, it
can be quite a bit longer depending on the
nature of the scan.
Would an IR Scan
be needed if I have a home inspector?
Yes, It will reveal things not seen by the
naked eye...and allow you to inspect places
not readily accessible.
Should new
construction be scanned? I
have a warranty!
Absolutely, If you cant see your problem or
even know if you have one, how can you fix
it?
