@brentnowell It sees the sun just fine. So range is 93 million miles. This one has no zoom lens, and only 160 horizontal pixels. Distant people will look like white dots.

Instead plastic bag you should try to "wear" mylar survival blanket (supposed to reflect 90% of heat), and see how long it will keep you obfuscated from FLIR

Thumb's Up if you agree with wbeaty's, "Note: Trolls & spammers blocked immediately. Zero tolerance."
'cause I sure don't blame him one bit. I hate nothing more than a spammer and/or a troller.

Yes, you would be completely hidden walking around with a black plastic bag on your head!

@linglingjr current prices about the same as gen-3 night vision: $1900. Google this cheap one: "flir scout"

btw if it's a raytheon it's not a flir : ) flir is a brand, not a camera type but I suppose you could make it a type name like xerox machine. flir is such a stupid name (forward looking infrared) so I'd prefer we didn't : )

@DanFrederiksen "Forward Looking Infra Red" was a military term, to distinguish I think the holographic side-looking radars and sonars from the usual sort. I seriously doubt that FLIR Inc. invented the term.
It's sort of like having someone trademark the term LASER and then start selling Laser(tm) brand of lasers. Would you then say that Laser is a brand, not a light source? :)

interesting, what would be the perfect camouflage to escape thermal scope?

@Ph4ntom74 FLIR just removes the darkness. So use same type of camo as for daylight, but make sure the surface stays at room temp. Example: in the woods, you should be disguised as a bush, in the city disguise yourself as a collection of rubbish. But include a couple extra layers of clothing, and in damp woods keep the outer layer damp and chilled by evap.
