Can Infrared Cameras See Through Walls?

November 8, 2017 by JD Johnson - Florida's Second Licensed Home Inspector (HI 2)
Home Inspection - Infrared IR Camera Image of Ceiling and Wall

Home Inspection - Infrared IR Camera Image of Ceiling and WallIntroduction:

We have discussed this subject before, but every once in a while, I talk to a Real Estate Agent, or consumer who has been led to believe that infrared cameras can see through walls.

Recently, this incorrect ability came up during a discussion with a potential client. It seems the home buyer had been mislead by another home inspector who promoted his infrared (IR) camera as having the ability to see through walls. I cannot say if the consumer misunderstood what the inspector was promising, or the inspector “over sold” the capabilities of the tool, but either way, that consumer was adamant that the infrared camera could see through walls.

Question:

True or False? Infrared (IR) cameras can see through walls.
