ABSTRACT:
An infrared (IR) light camera or sensor that provides temperature alarms. The temperature alarms may be audible, vibrational, and visual to indicate when a portion of the IR image meets user-defined alarm criteria. Visual alarms may be provided by displaying on a camera display unit the portions of the IR image that meet the alarm criteria.
