Anyone know of a cheap passive infrared webcam? Even an OEM module or something. Not the kind that need LEDs but the kind that see temp.

I'd like to play around with monitoring my reptiles at night, see what they're doing, and what sort of body temp they're getting to....

to see "temp"(-thermal- IR viewer,3-12 uM),the sensor array has to be cryocooled or have a microbolometer array,and costs about $1000 and up.

Firefighters have a handheld thermal viewer.

No such thing as "cheap" or inexpensive.

Scroll down for 'Footprints'.

Unfortunately you can't buy them yet.
