Thermal cameras can cost well into the five-figure range if you’re buying high-resolution models with good feature sets. New models can be so advanced that their export and use is heavily con… ...

Since [Jordan’s] camera only has a single pixel, he has to move it around and take each reading one at a time. To accomplish this, the Arduino is hooked up to two servo motors.

This project uses a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, an Arduino Uno, some servos, and a USB webcam. The end result is a camera mounted to the servo that’s controlled by the Arduino.
