ICI manufactures complete systems and software. We can provide complete engineering,

software, and OEM solutions. Our Fortune 500 clients rely on us for infrared equipment and

thermography training (which we offer through the Infrared Training Institute).

In addition to providing custom germanium, silica, and sapphire optics, we also build

windows for enclosures, as well as custom pan and tilt units. We can even provide

customizable explosion-proof systems.

Our knowledge and experience stems from years of using infrared imaging and

temperature measurement instruments to provide solutions to: managers, engineers,

scientists, inspectors and operators in space, power companies, medical, pulp and paper,

food industry, research and development, and various process industries. You can see

our products and services used in industrial, commercial, and government applications

worldwide. Additionally, our ICI 7320 was awarded “Product of the Month” by NASA*.

Originally named Texas Infrared (still DBA), Infrared Cameras, Inc. has been in business

since March, 1995.

Thank you for your dedicated and continued support.
