Does the thermal vision actually work? Can it really see heat signatures or does it just add random color splotches to make it look like it does

I am amazed by their ability. It is a toy. It is not a high end hunting or military spec device as I've used many variants of fixed and portable FLIR/Night Vision devices. For $50, it is exceptional for my 8 year old to play 'spy' with. The ability in a darkened room to see people and things is quite remarkable.

I think it "works", although I don't think it is thermal vision. As soon as we got them I went into our bedroom and darkened it. Things you couldn't see with the naked eye were "visible" with the Eye Clops. This was pretty neat, but the other features were a bit cheesy. We returned all three that we had ordered.

Yes it sees the heat signatures BUT they are not clear. Not real. I was a little disappointed. To make the camera/video work you need extra stuff. I think you need to remember they are a toy, and not much more than that. If I had seen them first I would not have purchased them. BUT my 6 yr old grandson thinks they are cool. He just likes the way they look.

It's a toy for pete's sake. It doesn't have real thermal imaging ... thermal imaging devices cost > $20,000.00. It simulates a thermal look by transposing brightness levels to the color scheme of thermal imaging devices.

The temperature feature is accurate enough for me...maybe a degree or two off if anything. The night vision is infrared. Not a great video monitor but not a bad price either. Don't have high expectations.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

According to ColorVision's website (and I think I read a review somewhere else) there are also advanced controls: http://www.colorvision.com/profis/profis_view.jsp?id=581 Under Monitor Gamma/Temp Choices Express says "Fixed" and Suite says "Multiple" I ended up ordering Suite based on this and some other reviews I found on the web. (we will see how it is)

At first it looked like the laser light was absorbed on an LCD screen, but then I noticed it shows up on some colors on the screen. For all practical purposes, it does not work well on TV screens and works best with projected images.

Hi there. If the unit is working you will see the little dimples on the surface of the water if you look at it in the light at the right angle. With this model, any heat generated is transducer heat, a byproduct of running unit. Unlike other units that are "supposed" to heat up, this unit does not have a built in heater.... It simy heats up from continued use. It is supposed to have an overload protection, or temperature sensor which will shut down unit with excessive heat. For example, I would occasionally used hot or warm water in the unit to improve cleaning, only to realize that eventually the unit would temporarily stop working. After cooling down, it would start working again. I am unfamiliar with the vitamin process you are using it for, so I'm not sure what conditions the unit must operate under for you to get the results you are looking for. If heat is needed, you may be better off with a heated unit. If you are simply wondering whether or not it is working based on heat produced, tbat won't necessarily be a good indicator. When cleaning something such as eyeglasses, for example, you will see what looks like "smoke" coming off of the eyeglasses or other object.... This is dirt, oils, etc. being cleaned off. Also, you will notice those little dimpmes in the water. Another was I would tear my unit was to put a fingertip on the water.... I would see the " smokey" appearance around my finger as the oils were cleaned from my finger.... Along with a little pain if I had a hangnail or cut! This unit leaked wayer into it from poor sealing between stainless steel tup and upper part of unit, and failed within less than a year. There are better units for not much more money. I would not recommend this unit for more than occasional use. I paid about $30 for the unit, and have seen the units vary in price from $19 to over $50, so that's a consideration, as well. Hope this helps.

No. Night vision works by taking any light at night and amplifying it to create a overall image. Thermal imaging works by reading temperatures off off our normal light spectrum. The temperatures measured in turn creates an image.

Hello. I don't think this will help like smoke can. The Amazon site states:"Uses infrared sensors to measure surface temperatures" which is true. And it does a really good job showing you what the surface temp is at where you are pointing. This is the only one that I know of that gives you a color signal when out of range. But it only reads surface temps. Help this helps you.

NO! It doesnt suposed to be hot!.. i've turned it on at maximum brightness for 16 hrs and when i touched it? It still at the room tempreture.. i didnt notice any increase on the tempreture.. sorry for my english =)

Screen quality is amazing. Very clear, and quite big for a laptop. I have gamed pretty heavily on it since I bought it a little over a month ago. Runs all games I've played at ultra high graphics settings. As for heat, it puts out quite a bit of heat and at some points you can really hear the fan star to work it's ass off. But it seems like the laptop doesn't get very hot, just pushes extremely hot air out.

I know that it detects motion by I am not sure if the detection is accomplished by sensing the heat generated by body motion.

one of them i think is the thermal protection is triggered when turn on for about 5 minutes so the effect is a blinking LED. the other one was ok. so i was dissapointed...

it senses motion anything that moves . makes no different what it is . it will not detect IR illuminator. it will not detect heat or cold temp. Motion only.

There's a sensitivity level you can play around with. At a sensitive setting, my camera picked up dust flying by it in the middle of the night. I think the AC kicked in and blew some dust and the infrared was able to detect it. As long as it detects motion within the range you pick, it will start recording (you have 2 different ranges you can set).

It would not show the heated air like an IR camera would but it would show the temp of any surface that was heated up by escaping hot air provided the surface was not reflective.

No, it uses IR technology to "see". It has 4 IR LEDs inside the unit that provides it's own light. The light from these IR LEDs reflects off the attachment on your head (Pro-clip or the one that comes with this item) and back to the main unit where it records the location of the reflections. The following are images I googled to elaborate on how the TrackIr can "see": https://www.google.com/search?q=ir+led&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS547US547&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=993&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xr6eVOqhC4apyQSgv4GgAw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=ir+led+effects+on+digital+camera&spell=1&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=xIRi19iwEBxv_M%253A%3BwxkUqO9lMLcJYM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252F6%252F67%252FP1020168.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FInfrared%3B2560%3B1920 Your next question is tougher to answer. Within the software that runs the system you can modify how much you have to move (its resolution). Just like the DPI settings for your mouse. I'm pretty sure if you were to make it as sensitive as possible you could spin your character's view quicker than you can see things on the screen. Like taking your mouse and wiggling it vigorously and the mouse cursor almost becoming invisible, if you know what I mean.

This isn't a thermal imaging device, so the temperature of what you are viewing does not matter. This device works with little to no light and does that extremely well, but if you are looking for a thermal device, this isn't what you are looking for.
