Why the hell those thermal cameras are so expensive?

[thermalvideo]

@ichen78 The device used to detect thermal energy, the microblometer, is somewhat costly to manufacture. Also, the lenses of most thermal imaging cameras are made of Germanium, which is a good transmitter of infrared radiation but is very rare and thus, costly. Due to increased popularity, prices are much lower than they were several years ago. The prices will keep coming down with improved manufacturing technology and higher demand.

How to Block Heat From a Thermal Camera

[l0llakas]

1.Wear a neoprene wet suit to mask your heat signature. This method was proved on the Discovery Channel program "Mythbusters," but their experiment also showed that the effects were short-lived. The suit quickly heated up the longer it was worn and lost its concealing effects.

2.Attach a medium-sized pane of glass to a long metal arm and hold it in front of you as a shield. When the glass is aimed at the camera, the infrared beams are filtered and cannot detect the human heat signature. This method was also proved on "Mythbusters."

3.Move in areas with busy thermal activity, especially around industrial areas. The heat given off by buildings and cars provides you some extra cover from thermal cameras. Hide near rocks, which absorb heat during the day, if you're out in nature. The extreme option for this step is to start a fire, so that your heat signature is no different from the burning objects around you.

4.Use a thermal blanket to cover your heat signature. These are quite expensive and it's important to carefully conceal yourself so that you don't create an obvious cold spot on the thermal camera.

5.Break up your silhouette using sticks and other objects. This is a basic tactic of camouflage, and it works well with thermal imaging too. Your distinct human form is broken up into odd angles, while still providing enough heat signature to avoid an obvious human-shaped blank.
