Why does the image on some Thermal Imaging Cameras appear as being stuttered or jerky?
Thermal Imaging Cameras were originally developed for the military use, and this continues to be one of the biggest markets for their use. Because of this, most governments (particularly the USA) have restrictions on the movement of Thermal Imaging Cameras with a fast screen refresh rate. To get around these import and export restrictions, the screen refresh rate is altered by the manufacturer so they don’t pose a risk to a country’s security, but can still be used in industries where the target is stationary or moves very little. Quality of the image produced is not affected by lowering the screen refresh rate. Models with a high refresh rate are still available, but expect to wait up to six months for the product, and security checks on your business and yourself.
