The C1212M MWIR cryogenically cooled infrared detector is widely used many areas such as Remote Monitoring System, Flight Vision Enhancement System, Multi-sensor Payload etc.

1.What is the difference between low light, active IR and thermal imaging?

Low light needs natural light and transforms weak natural light image into enhanced electronic image through image intensifier;

Active IR actively emits infrared light and uses infrared beam reflected by the target. It has very poor concealment;

Thermal imaging doesn’t need any light and is a passive infrared night vision that detects infrared radiation difference between targets and scene or different parts of an object. not be affected by the changes of the surrounding lighting conditions, during night or even in fog, rain and other harsh environments.

2. Can you block thermal imaging?

In most cases, you cannot. But infrared rays can't penetrate walls, and also the glass can block IR. So, if you don’t want to be detected, you can conceal behind glass or walls to block the thermal imaging.
