How much does it cost to buy an Infrared Camera? Or Thermal Imaging Camera?
by admin on Friday, April 23rd, 2010 | 3 Comments
I want to buy one but don’t know how much it cost and can’t find a website that can tell me or buy from. Does anyone know how much and where to buy? If possible also has night vision, black and white, negative, and embossed as well for the video camera.

Near IR can be taken by a modified digital camera where the lowpass filter is removed. There are companies out there that will modify certain DSLR cameras to do this.
Thermal IR cameras start at around $3,000 for the low resolution units. If you want a good thermal IR camera, you’re looking at $30,000, or more. The expensive units will never have a price listed. You need to talk to the distributor. You can look on Ebay, however, I haven’t seen any really good deals on thermal IR cameras on Ebay.
Night vision is light amplification. You can buy night vision goggles from hunting stores and places that sell Russian goggles.
The above devices are bought separately as they use completely different sensor technologies.

I think that you demand a lot; this cameras are everything but cheap.
Thermal imaging and infrared aren’t the same.
You can load infrared film in a camera and use a filter that only lets IR light pass in. If you want a negative image, just do not positivate it! Printing to a paper that doesn’t positivate the image. UNless you go for EIR aerochrome, there is no color IR availiable in film.
Digital cameras have an IR filter. Taking it out (you should contact an experienced technician) will let IR light to be captured by the sensor. Then you’ll only need the light blocking filter.
Night vision is just an amplification of the availiable light captured by the camera. There is an accessory for some DSLR that costs around $6000.
A thermal imaging camera, measures IR emmited by heat.
