21. FC Series S camera is a state of the art thermal imaging system that will provide excellent night visibility and situational awareness without any form of natural or artificial illumination The system is easy to use but it is useful to understand how to interpret what is displayed on the monitor While the imagery on the monitor may at first look similar to ordinary black and white daylight video experience with the camera in varying conditions and seasons will lead to an appreciation of the characteristics that make thermal imaging distinct A few tips on how to interpret some of the imagery may help you to make the most of your system The thermal camera does not sense light like conventional cameras it senses heat or temperature differences The camera senses small differences in apparent radiation from the objects in view and displays them as either white or lighter shades of grey for warmer objects and black or darker shades of grey for colder objects The thermal imaging camera relies on the fact that all objects even very cold objects like ice emit thermal energy in the portion of the infrared spectrum that this camera can see the long wave infrared LWIR Therefore unlike an illuminated infrared camera a thermal camera does not need an additional active illumination source and creates video based on directly radiated rather than reflected energy This is why hot objects such as parts on an engines and exhaust pipes
