You know anyone who hunts coyotes at night with thermal scopes/scanners? Their equipment will work just as well. With my thermal binoculars(bearing & chain health checking tool) I can see everything cold/hot in my house. I use it instead of my studfinder if I am looking for studs on an external wall. The drywall screws even stick out like a sore thumb when looking through my thermal equipment.
An IR sensor works with regular optics.
A thermal sensor uses a germanium lens.
Not the same thing at all.
