Why doesn’t my Merger LRF work when looking through glass, such as in a car or at home? How can I solve this issue?
Thermal imagers, including the Merger LRF, cannot see through glass because glass does not allow infrared radiation in the 8–14 µm range (used in thermal technology) to pass through.
Solution:
To use your thermal imager effectively, avoid attempting to observe through glass. Instead, position the device in an open environment without glass barriers.
