German makers, Lecia and Zeiss, were the inventors of the infrared camera. These cameras have been used for military purposes and to allow firefighters to see fires inside of building.
You can't see infrared light without a special camera.

A thermographic camera is an infrared camera, which captures infrared radiaiton. So, while it captures information, it does not take the same kind of picture a regular camera does.
PHOTOGHRAM
Sir William Herschel noted infrared back in the 1800s. But, there were three companies, Texas Instruments, Honeywell, and Hughes Aircraft, credited with modern technology in infrared detectors and imaging.
A infrared camera takes pictures in the dark or dimly lighted places. You will be amazed to see how much clearer your pictures turn out when taken in dim or no lighting with the infrared camera. It's a difference you won't believe!
thermograms
A thermal camera detects heat emitted by objects and displays it as a color image, while an infrared camera captures infrared radiation and converts it into a visible image. Thermal cameras are used for detecting temperature variations, while infrared cameras are used for night vision and detecting objects in low light conditions.

No. They only work with cameras that can focus via infrared light.
