FLIR thermal infrared imaging home inspection, energy camera
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jXPXE0qsmjg


fyi: In the above video the IR inspection company
is using the following tool

RAZIR (Sierra Pacific Innovations) FLIR camera
http://www.thermcam.com/

I saw this particular FLIR camera priced
at 12,499.00 USD by this one particular
instrumentation company and they were
also charging 145.00 usd for a spare battery!

Fluke Ti20 at 6495 USD was less expensive but
its does not do all the fancy things that the RAZIR
does ( the RAZIR connect to your laptop with a USB
port)

For the hell of it, call your local fire department
folk. They just might have one.

Some digital cameras and webcams already respond to IR.

There are various instructions around on how to convert them into IR cameras.

No thanks are necessary. Just send me the C-note. :)

I've done that from the inside, spotting cold spots that needed more
insulation. It works and is cheap ;)
