Infrared Sensors

Buy an infrared sensing system to gather temperature data Take a look at several infrared sensor companies and infrared sensor manufacturers before choosing a product. Not all sensors have the same features. Look for battery power options for portability, as well as adjustable flux or heat flow. As always, another reason to shop around is that prices vary. You want to get the best infrared sensor systems at the best prices.

I recommend:  Omega carries hand-held and mounted infrared thermocouples for a huge array of applications. Micro-Epsilon also has infrared sensors for sale. They have multi-function IR thermometers and an ultra-miniature, non-contact model.

Locate motion detectors for security and lighting at your home or business Choosing an infrared sensor manufacturer or source for motion detection depends on what you want to accomplish, surveillance or lighting.

I recommend:  Home Security Store carries motion detectors that alert you when someone is present. Lamps Plus carries a wide variety of basic and decorative motion detector lights. These add an element of security and also add the convenience of automatic switching switching when you come home, enter your warehouse, etcetera.

Experiment with gadgets that include night vision technology The military uses infrared sensing systems for night and occluded vision field applications, like target acquisition. However, there are many commercial and domestic uses as well, like surveillance and hunting. If you are interested, however, be prepared to spend serious money.

I recommend:  OpticsPlus.net carries night vision goggles, sights and scopes, including day to night scopes that automatically activate their night vision capabilities as needed. TheNightVisionStore.com is another source for high quality night vision goggles, binoculars, rifle scopes and monoculars.
