forward camera

Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, typically used on military and civilian aircraft, use a thermographic camera that senses infrared radiation.
The sensors installed in forward-looking infrared cameras, as well as those of other thermal imaging cameras, use detection of infrared radiation, typically emitted from a heat source (thermal radiation), to create an image assembled for video output.
They can be used to help pilots and drivers steer their vehicles at night and in fog, or to detect warm objects against a cooler background. The wavelength of infrared that thermal imaging cameras detect is 3 to 12 μm and differs significantly from that of night vision, which operates in the visible light and near-infrared ranges (0.4 to 1.0 μm).

    Forward camera misted up

    First proper cold morning of the year for us and we kept getting a warning that the forward camera wasn’t working. Got home and noticed that the inside of the windscreen where the camera lives is misted up. Any one else had this issue yet and how are we meant to clear it? Photo shows the issue.
