The worst day in the world for a homeowner is your call to action. Like a superhero, you put your skills and training to the test to make their world right again. Thermal imaging can and should be part of your go-bag, even if it won't give you X-ray Vision as they show in Hollywood movies. Here, I will provide answers to some commonly asked questions about thermal imaging and help you deploy this technology with your teams to save time, increase revenue and better serve your customers. 

Thermal cameras see heat the way other cameras image light. The "light" for thermal cameras is the infrared wavelengths beyond visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. Thermal cameras use a lens to focus the heat on individual pixels in an array on a detector. The temperature of each pixel in the scene is measured, and the camera applies a color palette to display the different temperatures to the user. Typically, white is the hottest and black or blue is the coldest in the scene. Images are stored as JPGs and viewed the same way you view photos from other types of cameras.
