Systems, devices, and apparatus for monitoring temperature at remote locations using infrared light

A remote monitoring system comprising:

• a plurality of infrared cables, each of the infrared cables having a respective first opening at a first end of each of the infrared cables and having a respective second opening at a second end of each of the infrared cables that is opposite the first end, the infrared cables configured to conduct infrared light emitted from a respective one of a plurality of monitored locations into the respective first opening to exit at the respective second opening;
• an infrared camera including an infrared sensor array optically coupled to each second opening of the plurality of infrared cables, wherein each respective second opening is positioned opposite a respective predetermined sub-array in the infrared sensor array;
• a processor circuit coupled to an output of the infrared sensor array, the processing circuit configured to receive respective data for each respective predetermined sub-array in the infrared sensor array;
• and
• an electronic display coupled to the processor circuit, the electronic display configured to provide a representation of the plurality of monitored, locations inside a user defined window and display data indicating a temperature of the one of the plurality of monitored locations, wherein the user defined window comprises a user redefinable window is re-drawable by a user to provide a redrawn window to enclose a schematic representation of a selected one of the plurality of monitored locations and to exclude schematic representations of other ones of the plurality of monitored locations outside the redrawn window and the temperature of the selected one of the plurality of monitored locations includes a minimum temperature among the plurality of monitored locations enclosed by the redrawn window and a maximum temperature among the plurality of monitored locations enclosed by the redrawn window responsive to the plurality of monitored locations enclosed by the user redeemable window and to exclude temperatures of the other ones of the plurality of monitored locations outside the redrawn window.
