Thermal is not night vision. Infrared night-vision cameras let a camera see in the dark. A thermal imaging camera measures the actual temperature of surfaces, which is what lets us document cold spots.
Sonel KT-520 Thermal Imaging Camera
A professional thermal imager that measures and records temperature differences, so we can document cold spots and thermal anomalies.

About this equipment
A thermal imaging camera detects heat, not light. It shows the temperature of every surface in view, which lets us document unexplained cold spots, heat sources and changes over time. This is a different technology from ordinary infrared night-vision cameras, which only let a camera see in the dark. Our preferred model is the Sonel KT-520: a 320 × 240 thermal sensor, radiometric (infrared) video recording at 30 Hz or 9 Hz, temperature measurement, a built-in visual camera so thermal and normal images can be compared, 64 GB internal storage and SD card support.
Why we need it
Temperature changes are one of the most commonly reported features of allegedly haunted locations. A proper thermal camera lets us measure them instead of just describing a feeling.
