There are far infrared cameras that capture thermal radiation from 9-15 NM band. They nicely allow to see in complete darkness. They do not use CCD but rather microbalometers.
But they are expensive. 640x480 can cost over 10000 USD and cameras with smaller resolution like those used in high-end cars still cost over thousand USD.
- fest 10y agoFLIR recently started selling their low-resolution uncooled sensors in small quantities: * 80x60 resolution for $200 * 160x120 resolution for $240 (doesn't seem to be in stock on Digikey though). I've used the first one- resolution is quite low, but a few years ago you couldn't even buy such sensors as a hobbyist (example image: http://faili.wot.lv/tmp/IMG_20160320_163431.jpg http://faili.wot.lv/tmp/IMG_20160320_163431.jpg) These are the same sensors which are used in FLIR smartphone-attached thermal cameras.
