If you want to see more of what\u2019s surrounding an asset, or are working in a tight space, they are mission critical to get the shot. Wide-angle thermal&nbsp;camera lenses are great for home inspectors that need to scan the outside of a house as you\u2019ll be able to see the largest area at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telephoto lens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re scanning a large area that\u2019s further away, like the ceiling or roof of a factory or warehouse, you\u2019ll need a telephoto lens (2x or 4x is usually offers enough zoom) to be able to see the detail you need from further away. It\u2019s also a good choice if you\u2019re scanning overhead vents or duct work, high-power transmission towers that are a distance away. The telephoto lens allows you to work safely from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of needing multiple different cameras to complete all of these tasks, you can save a lot of money with \u201csmart\u201d add-on thermal&nbsp;camera lenses that can be used among multiple compatible cameras without special recalibration for each camera and be able to quickly swap out thermal&nbsp;camera lenses on the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowing the difference between the different lens  &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[261],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/958"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/958\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shalomeo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
