Hi and thanks for your question eswnl - this isn't really affected by weather conditions - as the technology only 'sees' heat and not light as other camera sensors do, this camera will see through fog and to a certain extent smoke too which is why thermal imaging cameras are extensively used by firefighters and search and rescue teams.
I'm very pleased that this video has raised such discussion. Maybe you could go to thermoteknix d o t c o m and see the cameras that actually made this film. Thanks.
FlIR cameras don't see "heat" they see long wave infrared radiation. Warm objects do radiate this radiation but most materials also reflect this radiation, just as most materals reflect visable light. A piece of polished aluminum, copper, gold, as well as many other materials, will make a very good FLIR mirror.
I am not sure about the reflections in the water. Most of my experience with FLIR come from my time as a B-52 pilot.
Yea, thx 4 that info. And more I would like to add that this is actually the way to make objects invisible for FLIR: coating them with a Aluminum foil.
at 30th second, i see the reflection of the 'boat-house' in the water.can any1 explain how is it possible that the temperature of the water changes so uniformly to give off heat having the same shape as the boat-house?
wait a min... i can swear that it was written "surgery" on the building. how come? thermal viewers only show differences in temperature. you cant read anything with it. just confused... can you tell how?
Hi - Yes you're right, thermal imagers show differences in temperature. Different materials emit different amounts of heat. The material that the letters in the word 'Surgery' are made from are different from the brickwork behind it and are emitting less heat.

@PioneeringInfrared why can you see reflections in the water?

Does picture quality vary with weather conditions?

Seriously clever technology as seen on the F1 TV coverage. Quality stuff from Thermoteknix.

This costs around 10000 dollars, does not it.

Black equals hot for the first part. Car tires and tailpipes are hot. Trees are cold because of evap., and radiation to the cold sky above.

most of it looks black and white...
but when its changed to thermal, you can see the heat radiating off the tires and tail-pipe

its thermal the whole time, the colors are just being inverted.
