A client wants to detect insulation defects and asks for a high resolution RGB camera because it has more megapixels than the thermal payload. What should the operator explain?

Answer

Select the sensor by the physical information required. Thermal anomalies require a suitable calibrated thermal workflow; more visible light pixels do not measure temperature.

Explanation

Payload suitability depends on measurement principle, not a single headline specification.
