Detection range is the distance at which a human-sized heat signature can be detected (not necessarily identified) under favourable conditions. Sensor resolution, pixel pitch and display quality also meaningfully affect real-world image clarity — a longer detection range does not automatically mean a clearer or more usable image at that distance.
