In this video Mike St. Clair of VIPER Paranormal explains and demonstrates why IR non-contact thermometers will not measure air temperature. Many people are mislead into buying these thermometers because they think they will be able to measure cold spots in the air, but these thermometers are not capable of measuring ambient or air temperature. These thermometers were made specifically to measure only surface temperature. Please comment, rate, share this video, and subscribe.
