Resolution: Measured in pixels (like a regular camera), it determines the image detail and sharpness. Higher resolution cameras produce clearer images.
Thermal Sensitivity (NETD): This refers to the camera's ability to detect small temperature differences. Lower NETD values indicate better sensitivity and allow you to distinguish finer variations in heat patterns.
Field of View (FOV): This specifies the area the camera can see at a given distance. It's typically indicated in degrees (horizontal and vertical) or field width at a specific distance (e.g., meters at 100m).
Temperature Range: The range of temperatures the camera can detect and display.
Image Modes: Some cameras offer features like color palettes (grayscale, ironbow, rainbow), pseudo-color for highlighting specific temperature ranges, and image blending with a visible light camera.
Additional Features: These may include digital zoom, laser pointers for reference, rugged build for harsh environments, and data recording capabilities.
