Hello, I have "some" experience with Flir cameras, what I know cooled cameras are still in use. Flir (like few other thermal camera producers) have cooled and uncooled cameras, all cameras can work 24/7 - but cooled models have special cooling module which should be exchanged after some time (depending on producer, normal after 5.000 hrs), this cost money so cooled cameras are not using 24/7; uncooled cameras can work constantly - thermal detector life time is ~4,5 years (I know systems with cameras working ~10 years). Cooled models are much more precise so "guys with guns" use it very often... Cooled models are only one which can find car size obiect from few tens of kilometers (more then 20...) Slawek
