Default Thermal Imaging Video Clip

Note that it states that HUD now recommends a thermal imaging
inspection when you buy house...

In addition to using thermography during an energy audit, you should have a scan done before purchasing a house; even new houses can have defects in their thermal envelopes. You may wish to include a clause in the contract requiring a thermographic scan of the house. A thermographic scan performed by a certified technician is usually accurate enough to use as documentation in court proceedings.

Another reason why I'm digging deep to purchase one of these cameras.

I'll have one within a few months. Can't wait.
