Traditional thermal inspections are messy. Technicians capture images, transfer them from SD cards to laptops, manually enter notes into spreadsheets, and spend hours back at the office generating reports. Around 60% of maintenance teams report a shortage of skilled thermographers, which makes the problem worse. Reporting alone can eat up half a technician's time, turning straightforward inspections into documentation marathons.

SANTA CRUZ - Santa Cruz law enforcement employed a drone equipped with thermal sensing technology to locate and apprehend a suspect fleeing from an attempted burglary last week. Santa Cruz police officers were dispatched Friday to a home near Coulson Avenue after receiving reports from a resident that someone was attempting to break in, according to a social media release from the city's police department. The suspect fled the scene after being chased away by the caller,

I also understand that some people just don't want to have to swap out their smartphones to get access to this useful superpower. Also: This accessory kit was made for tinkerers and has 180 modifications If you don't want to buy a new smartphone, the is the tool for you. It consists of a tiny thermal camera and a magnetic snap-on macro lens that allows the camera to be brought super close to the item being examined.

In the case of the Eaton fire, my Times colleagues Grace Toohey and Terry Castleman reported Saturday that as the blaze spread on the evening of Jan. 7, firefighters in the field urged a broader evacuation. But the orders were delayed by three hours in West Altadena, where 18 people died and numerous residents raced for their lives as thousands of homes were incinerated.

Southeastern is fitting thermal imaging cameras to the fronts of more of its trains following a trial that used them for live track inspections. Earlier this year, a pilot programme installed thermal imaging cameras on the front of a small number of Class 707 'City Beam' trains. They successfully identified 41 overheating incidents and prevented over 150 hours of customer delays. The thermal imaging cameras can identify 'hot spots' on the rail network and relay this information rapidly to asset engineers.

The tech specs for this unit are strong: the camera has a native resolution of 160 × 120 pixels with a 25Hz refresh rate that's upscaled to 320 × 240 by Thermal Master's proprietary X³ algorithm to offer pin-sharp images. The camera has a range of -4°F to 1,112°F (-20°C to 600°C) and an accuracy of ±3.6°F, making it perfect for a wide range of applications, from insulation inspections and HVAC system diagnostics to automotive troubleshooting.

When I was asked to give an impromptu five-minute speech and then to count backwards in intervals of 17 - all in front of a panel of three strangers - the acute stress was written on my face. That is because psychologists from the University of Sussex were filming this somewhat terrifying experience for a research project that is studying stress using thermal cameras.

set up camp at three classic New York City haunts: a park, a subway platform and a sidewalk. Using thermal cameras and specialized microphones, they recorded the rodents moving like glowing phantoms across the pavement while squeaking away at frequencies far above human hearing. The real kicker? When an ambulance screamed by, the rats screamed louder. As Mackevicius put it: "They're just kind of screaming to each other, but we just don't hear it."

The findings shed light on how rats have adapted to city lifeand how chatty they are. There's this kind of secret language that rats are communicating in with each other that we don't hear, says Emily Mackevicius, a neuroscientist and a co-author of the study. They're very social, adds Ralph Peterson, another study co-author. They're rugged, and they're New Yorkers themselves: persistent and resilient and able to thrive in a very extreme environment.
