Abstract: An infrared camera provided with a rotating lens. The exterior of the camera is also provided with a touch screen display as well as a switch device such as a 5-way switch, controlling many of the functions of the infrared camera. The rotation of the lens would allow an operator to view different objects while maintaining a single position, allowing the operator to view the material projected on the display very easily. A trigger would be used to capture a particular infrared image and to save this image as well as to transmit it, at a later time, to a personal computer.
