Ask the Thermal Guy!!

Postby Phantom on Sun Jan 13, 2008 4:47 pm

We're featuring a segment on our podcasts dealing directly with thermal imaging. I'd like for some folks to ask questions concerning thermal so that we can get them answered for you on the podcast. Please post the questions here, and I'll get them to the "Thermal Guy". Thanks!!

ok you could ask him what he recommends equipmentwise please,
also if he has any theory about how to control an investigation area, ie it is very easy to get high temp changes just for simple reasons, someone touching a wall etc, I think its very easy to contaminate an area rendering thermal imaging photographs useless, so tips and guidelines would be good, similar to not taking photos in the rain, or not somking on an investigation, but with a thermal angle.

like many items used in ghost hunting i think there is a tendency to buy the best, even though from a ghost hunting point a view the features on a camera will never be needed, so a basic entry level spec to compare these cameras against would be great, no need to get all the report logging and generating stuff if you dont need it, but no point in missing something for the sake of 100 bucks/euro/pounds either

also something that bothers me about it, cold spots, i would have imagined that the camera was used for cold spots, as this is what people report feeling, but people usually end up looking at hot spots, so i guess that guidelines and an overview would be great,

this could be because hot spots look great on the camera lol, does he recommend using the colour or black and white modes?

i take it that the thermal guy is Dennis--if so thanks in advance for the info Dennis
