I've worked with high grade surveillance cameras a bit better then that. Here is a product video of the company http://videosift.com/video/FLIR

how about buying these ground crews guys a simple handheld FLIR camera

I agree that having a screen on the front would be silly. If a wifi+FLIR camera can be added for App viewing, and adds maybe $100 to the cost of the unit, I would consider it. but my guess is it will cost a lot more.

Plus, it seems like the microwaves emitted inside would wreak havoc with the CMOS or CCD of the IR camera... and anything that would shield those, would also block the IR (why you can't use through glass)

I'm thinking someone should start using these for Search/Rescue. Mount a FLIR along with a normal cam and one person could cover the area of 100.

Everything looks cell-shaded! I want to play that game... so long as they keep the music and I don't think of the juicy details of dog attacks.


Reminds me of Call of Duty 4!

I agree that it is a fake, but remember that many (most?) thermographic imagers provide options for white hot, black hot and colour interpretations. I'd so love to get one of these cameras to play around with but they're super expensive and if higher resolution, are tightly controlled if not used for military purposes.


Yes, there is white hot and black hot options, however we know the FLIR in this is white hot because of two reasons:

1. In the upper right corner of the video is the word WHITE, indicating it is on the white hot.

2. The person in the video is showing as white. Since humans keep a sustained body temperature of 98.6F, it's either compressed air or a zombie breaking hot wind.

>> ^volumptuous:
Apparently this video is over a year old. I was wondering why his fart and fingers would be black (the passerby's fingers too).
But it seems that he's holding an aerosol can of compressed air or something, with his left hand. I don't think a fart-cloud would be that perfect going through underwear and then thick-denim jeans.
Funny fake.


More evidence this is faked with aerosol can of compressed air:

We are looking at a black and white FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) camera. White parts indicate heat, where black indicates cold. I don't know about anyone else, but my farts are NEVER cold.

edit: Just noticed spitfiredragon also came to the same conclusion. Didn't mean to steal the thunder.

LOL, I love how he fips off the FLIR operator.

FLIR = Forward Looking Infra-Red, it allows you to see heat signatures.

Interesting conversation this throws up, It's my belief that technology has made drivers less aware of their driving due the new technologies being put into cars. FLIR is a great idea, but isn't it better placing it somewhere other then the centre console? Maybe a HUD infront of the wheel or on a seperate layer infront of the drivers windshield.
