No. Thermal cameras detect surface temperature radiation — they cannot see through solid walls. However, they can detect heat signatures through glass, fog, smoke, and in total darkness.

Thermal cameras typically offer 160×120 to 640×512 pixel thermal resolution. They are paired with visible-light cameras for higher-detail identification after initial thermal detection.

Radiometric thermal cameras can measure surface temperatures to within ±2°C accuracy — ideal for predictive maintenance and fever screening applications.

Detection ranges vary by lens and resolution. Our recommended thermal cameras detect a human heat signature at distances ranging from 100m to 800m depending on the configuration.

Yes. All Smart Tower thermal cameras are rated IP67 or higher and are built for continuous outdoor operation in extreme heat, humidity, and dust conditions.
