Depending on how hot the object is in relation to the surrounding air or objects/ buildings will determine the strength of the glow. I was picking up people about 800 feet to a thousand feet away from me in the dark of night where the air temperature and surrounding temperature was around 65 degrees. During the day it was a little bit more difficult to pick up people and I had to use the white hot feature to really designate targets as everything was pretty much impacted by the sun's rays this would definitely work much better in the winter.
