Thermal
- Resolution: Measured in pixels (like a regular camera), it determines the image detail and sharpness. Higher resolution cameras produce clearer images.
- Thermal Sensitivity (NETD): This refers to the camera's ability to detect small temperature differences. Lower NETD values indicate better sensitivity and allow you to distinguish finer variations in heat patterns.
- Field of View (FOV): This specifies the area the camera can see at a given distance. It's typically indicated in degrees (horizontal and vertical) or field width at a specific distance (e.g., meters at 100m).
- Temperature Range: The range of temperatures the camera can detect and display.
- Image Modes: Some cameras offer features like color palettes (grayscale, ironbow, rainbow), pseudo-color for highlighting specific temperature ranges, and image blending with a visible light camera.
- Additional Features: These may include digital zoom, laser pointers for reference, rugged build for harsh environments, and data recording capabilities.
