The difference between thermal imager and night vision

suitable for different
Infrared thermal imaging technology has applications in both military and civilian applications. It originally originated in the military and gradually turned to civilian use.thermal camera module， Infrared night vision device is a military night vision device using photoelectric conversion technology.


different effects
In civilian use, it is generally called a thermal imager. Mainly used for R&D or industrial testing and equipment maintenance. It is also widely used in fire protection, night vision and security. Night vision device is a night vision device with image intensifier as the core device. It uses the light reflected by the target in low light to enhance the visible image on the phosphor screen with an image intensifier to observe and aim the target.


work differently
Infrared thermal imaging camera is a device that uses infrared thermal imaging technology to convert the image of the temperature distribution of the target object into a visible image by detecting the infrared radiation of the target object and applying signal processing, photoelectric conversion and other means. Phased array scans on infrared detector elements converge the light. The detector elements are capable of producing very detailed temperature patterns, called thermograms.
