THERMAL IMAGE THIS!......pig

[7thG]

Just let me know if this is common practice. I hear alot about thermal imaging to catch growers by, i guess, hot air spewing out their homes. But, unless u live in a hut all homes have an exhaust for ur clothes dryer. If u join those two systems wouldnt that be fool proof.

I think they look for the heat signature of your light(s)

 

[7thG]

what blocks that....mylar?

 

[WeedHopper]

The one I seen on Youtube can only see heat coming out openings of the house,,,such as the vents. They were watching the guy because of it. They cant see your light system or where its at unless your heating up the whole freaken rooftop. Or thats what they say..Thats what I seen on Youtube video. Heat Sig coming from vent(from growroom exhaust).

I don't know of any dryer vents that run 12 hours a day non stop.

Don't quote me, but don't they need a warrant to use the camera on your house?

You are joking right? I bet you have never been in trouble with the Law! Which is a very good thing.

On June 11, 2001 the Supreme Court ruled U.S. v Kyllo in a five to four decision that people have an expectation of privacy in their homes. Using high technology to detect heat coming from the premises is an invasion of that privacy and cannot be used to obtain a search warrant.
but we all know how lowdown the police are im sure they still use it and then make some excuse like the neighbor smelling the weed or something like that

Who has their exhaust runing 12 hours a day? Mine runs maybe 5 minutes every two hours.

 

[Tater]

People with air cooled reflectors.

I air cool my hoods but why on earth would you be dumping perfectly good hot air outside this time of year. I could see routing it outside in the summer but the winter is pointless. My gas bill went from $200 a month last year to $50 this winter. And my house stays a pleasant 68 degrees. The only time the furnace kicks on is late at night when it gets below 67.

I Dont know,,,It was on Youtube. I have a small grow area and no heat problems. They would have a better chance locating a warm Fart coming out my bathroom vent.

Thats nasty. Sick Bastage. Sorry,,Im high.

You're right! And I've accomplished this by knowing the law.

Touché.

Negative.

The thermals will show a Huge White room, in a either mostly red, orange or violet (for cold) house. If they use the nicer color models.

Mylar won't insulate anything.

You have to seal the room, then double insulate it, leaving a void or dead space at least 8'' around all five sides of the entire room (walls/ceiling) then use insulated vent ducting, run your lights at night and yes, use the dryer vents or tie onto the houses hot air ventilation systems either by t-ing off at your furnace, stove, fireplace or even vent into the sewer system like a true Covert Op grower.

thermals are no-joke. You can easily spend thousands insulating your room properly. Either you go all out or don't bother. If you are worried about your house getting scanned, they know already and you are a done deal at this point.
