  • Publication number: 20110043360
    Abstract: A portable infrared (IR) detection system can be used to scan an adjacent terrain and detect an IR source, such as a person or animal, by detecting heat emitted therefrom. Humans, animals and other sources emit IR radiation which can be detected by an IR detector. The emitted radiation is captured by a tube and reflected onto a sensor using a parabolic or other reflector. The sensor is connected to a display component for producing an audible, visual, or vibrational alert. Activities such as hunting, boating, and camping, often accompany situations where detection of a human, animal, or other heat source can be a valuable tool. This invention provides a portable IR detection system for use in these and other activities, the portable detection system being collapsible, portable and cost-efficient.
