Camera and Technology Overview
Background
The Thermal-Eye
™
250D Camera is a part of the L-3
Communications Infrared Products (L-3 CIP) Thermal-Eye
™
product line. Thermal-Eye
™
250D is a revolutionary thermal
imaging system that is the result of many years of research and
experience. L-3 CIP has long been a leader in the production
and development of night vision systems based on infrared
thermal imaging. Over the years, L-3 CIP’s experience has
lead to many improvements in performance and reliability of
night vision systems. In an effort to make this technology
more affordable, L-3 CIP’s engineers and scientists developed
a unique way of translating infrared energy into electronic
signals. This innovation, combined with experience in
developing and building military night vision systems, has
lead to the creation of Thermal-Eye
™
250D Camera. Now
L-3CIP is providing affordable commercial thermal imaging
solutions for law enforcement, marine, security, and other
commercial uses while continuing to supply other special
products that meet the particular needs of the military.

Infrared Imaging and Applications
Visible light, the rainbow of colors that can be sensed by the
human eye, is electromagnetic radiation within a certain
frequency band. ‘Infra-‘ means ‘below’ and ‘red’ is the lowest
frequency in the visible spectrum. Hence, ‘infrared’ (or ‘IR’)
refers to that range of electromagnetic wavelengths just below
that capable of sight by the human eye. In the IR range,
energy from a scene is not sensed by sight (light) but rather by
temperature.
