PathFindIR II is a powerful thermal night vision system that lets you see road hazards clearly in total darkness, detecting and alerting you to nearby vehicles, people, and animals.
As someone who has survived: A deer hit at highway speeds, avoided by what had to have been barely a foot a vehicle which had crashed in such a way that it caused all of it's lights to turn off and stop sideways filling up an entire lane of a 2 lane highway in complete darkness, and finally a rollover crash at highway speeds into a deep ditch (Caused by an out of state driver who had never driven in winter and ended up pointing backwards whom I thought was a wrong way driver). It's a really weird feeling to realize you just barely survived something that should have killed you multiple times that was completely impossible to see with normal human vision. I wish I wish how I wish we could make this life saving technology more affordable. This isn't really a problem with the companies charging too much. This technology is extremely expensive to create, to manufacture, and to install.
Tractor Trailer Truckers would love if their windshields had this technology built in. Or at least a superimposition of regular view with thermal view to make outlines of objects and to read signs. Especially thru fog and smoke.
Since the NV2 by InfiRay (not this FLIR unit) issues audible warnings a bigger screen may be a negative since one shouldn't be staring at the screen while using it. Once the audible signal is produced the safest way to use the screen is as you would your rear view mirror, a quick glance should do for identification and positional purposes.
@@deekamikazeNot true. Infrared light absolutely goes through glass, however all lightwaves bend or scatter to an extent through the medium of glass. The Lens on an IR camera is glass, if IR could not go through it, then how does the Camera see anything. lol IR of most wavelength has trouble through bullet proof glass and No IR can penetrate through Aluminum Foil.
@@Zeaiclies You are wrong about infrared and glass. The lens on a thermal camera is made from a special material like germanium or zinc selenide. These materials are transparent to the specific wavelengths of infrared radiation the camera needs to detect. So, the infrared light can pass through the lens and reach the sensor inside the camera, creating a thermal image. In short, regular glass and thermal camera lenses are designed for different purposes and use different types of infrared light. That's why one can't see through windows and the other needs a special lens.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to see better when welding try Great Gazer Fix (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
