Used to discover hidden heat patterns, thermal imaging cameras (TICs) can also save lives. Firefighters use them daily to see through smoke, locate and rescue victims, and stay better oriented during response missions. They’re also used in everyday life. TICs use color to show the relative temperature of an object, which allows you to see where you might have leaky outlets, drafty doors, missing insulation, and more.
