1. A method of monitoring a temperature of a scene using a thermal imaging camera comprising: a) inputting an amount of a time delay interval into a delay timer of the camera; b) capturing an infrared image of the scene, wherein capturing the infrared image triggers the time delay interval to begin, wherein during the time delay interval the camera does not capture an infrared image of the scene; c) upon expiration of the time delay interval, capturing another infrared image of the scene, wherein capturing another infrared image triggers the time delay to begin again, wherein during the time delay interval the camera does not capture an infrared image of the scene; and d) repeating step c a plurality of times.
