will this measure infrared or other emanations from spy cameras?

Cameras and infrared detectors don't emit light - they just detect light and/or heat emanating from whatever source they are aimed at. There is nothing to measure.

Cameras typically don't emit much radiation of any kind, so if you are interested in sweeping a room for bugs, this device won't be useful.However it can be used to measure relatively high levels of radiation in the IR and UV spectra. Its response to infrared and ultraviolet light is much lower than it is to the visible range, so its sensitivity in these areas is low. Also it responds to all the frequencies it sees, so you need to cover its sensor with an IR filter. Once you've done this, you should be able to calibrate it against a meter of known accuracy and precision.

Fathom, The handbook does not specifically address infrared measurement. The unit just measures overall illumination, that is all from what I gathered from the handbook. I believe the instrument you want is not this one, the unit you want will probably cost much more and be rated for infrared. Sorry, Charley

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

Yes, but just as a reference point. It is not directly aligned with the infrared sensor.

It reads infrared so it will only measure the outside temp. That being said I think that it soes a great job you just have to use some common sense.

Most consumer IR cameras aren't made to protect Area 51 ...so they emit a faint red glow from the IR blasters. But if you're looking to get all James Bond up at your house...look for "940nm wavelength IR cameras" they are completely invisible to the naked eye.

In my opinion it would work fine, these infrared devices are good at measuring surface temperatures so what you would get is the temperature of the surface that you aimed at, it is not going to give you an internal temperature like a oven t-stat would but you probably already know that, enjoy.

Yes, you are correct. To convert the camera to in infrared only camera, the camera's CCD censor must be altered by removing one of its filters. Once the camera is altered it cannot be easily returned to its former state.

I am not sure if I understand your question, but I recently used this camera for a project to track IR leds. Most cameras have an IR filter built in but this camera either does not have a filter or the filter is not very good. Because of this I was able to get a good response in the IR band and it worked perfectly for my application.

I believe it will. The system I have feeds into a Hard drive and then directly to a monitor. A mouse connects to the drive. Since it can network, windows could view. Problem I found was trying to hide all the stuff so would be thief doesn't throw a rock at the camera or take the hard drive.

It's because, it not only detects radar signals but also infrared cameras, like security cameras and stuff like that.

Yes! It will measure the surface of the onside of the oven as it measures what it's "touching." I found that the inner surface of the oven is on the dot with the temperature given off by the actual oven thermometer.

Even if it does ... It does not appear to affect your viewing area or are that is alumina tied by The IR light. I ended up purchasing a separate IR Torch as the IR light that coming with the unit, does glow a dull red so it is difficult to remain covert or concealed.

Not sure - there could be problems with the infrared sensor - a good question for the manufacturer.

You got me on that one. I know what is done to make a camera into a infrared camera, bit I cannot perform the task myself. I would bet that YouTube has lots of videos on the process.

Yes. It will measure and calculate cost of only the electricity passing through the sensors. For example it could measure only the power used by an air conditioning unit if it was mounted on the wires going only to the AC unit. Power used by the rest of the house would not be measured.

I don't think it would work. Such systems are usually radio frequency operated devices which have a considerably longer range than does the infrared transmission medium used in this device.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.
