        Market Definition

        Infrared imaging is an advanced technology that captures images of the infrared (IR) spectrum beyond the visible light range. Infrared Cameras convert IR radiation into visible images using detectors from materials such as indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) and mercury cadmium telluride (MCT or HgCdTe). This technology enables the detection of heat signatures and temperature variations, allowing users to identify heat leaks in buildings, electrical faults, and locate people or animals in low-light conditions. Infrared imaging is also widely applied in astronomy, medical diagnostics, industrial inspection, and environmental monitoring, making it a versatile tool across diverse sectors.
