LWIR Cameras

Long Wave Infrared Cameras (LWIR) are the most common type of FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) thermal infrared surveillance cameras and specialized automation applications as (LWIR) operates on 7 to 14 microns (7,000nm–14,000nm) in wavelength where terrestrial temperature targets emit most of their infrared energy and unlike cooled thermal cameras require no coolers or maintenance. Long Wave Infrared cameras also offer 4x the penetration through humidity and fog compared to MWIR cameras and provide better images when the temperature is cold making LWIR cameras a better option than cooled thermal in a variety of applications.
