What is difference between cooled and uncooled thermal cameras?
(1) The service life of the infrared thermal imaging camera

The utilization rate of the cooled infrared thermal imaging cameras is closely related to its own refrigeration components. The working time of the refrigeration component is directly related to the service life of the infrared thermal imaging camera. Relatively speaking, the service life of the uncooled infrared thermal imaging camera will be longer, but due to the aging of the components, the measurement accuracy will also be reduced.

(2) The price of infrared thermal imaging camera

Generally speaking, cooled ir cameras are expensive, while uncooled types are relatively cheap.

(3) The volume of the infrared thermal imaging camera

Since the cooled infrared thermal imaging camera requires the refrigerator to work together, the cooled infrared thermal imaging camera is larger than the uncooled thermal camera in volume.

(4) Power consumption of the infrared thermal imaging camera

The cooled thermal imager needs a refrigerator to cool down when it is working, so it consumes more power than the uncooled infrared thermal imaging camera.

(5) Sensitivity, accuracy and error of the infrared thermal imaging camera

When the cooled infrared thermal imaging camera is working, the refrigerator first works to reduce its own temperature, so that it has some advantages in sensitivity, accuracy, and error when detecting other objects.

Which is better, cooled vs uncooled thermal cameras?
Thermal cameras can be divided into cooled infrared thermal imaging cameras and uncooled infrared thermal imaging cameras. People often ask: What is difference between cooled and uncooled thermal cameras?

Simply put, the infrared thermal imaging camera is an infrared radiation device that converts physical objects into video images through photoelectric conversion and electrical signal processing. The basic principles of the so-called cooled vs uncooled thermal cameras are similar, but the essence is still different.

Generally speaking, the cooled infrared thermal imaging camera has higher thermal sensitivity, accuracy, and frame rate than uncooled one, which can achieve the monitoring of fine temperature differences or can cooperate with the large lens for longer-distance infrared monitoring. The uncooled thermal camera is low in price and quick to start up, which is usually suitable for detection or close-range monitoring.
