Nowadays, most of the military devices, from night vision cameras to cameras mounted on military weapons, are equipped with infrared cameras. By using the temperature emitted from the objects, they can be identified in different situations, including absolute darkness. The multiple capabilities of these cameras in monitoring the other party's military capabilities have made camouflage technologies in this field more important, so that the development and research of new infrared camouflage methods and thermal cameras have become the focus of strategic development of countries around the world. This paper is a review paper in the field of infrared cameras, which is not similar in any other reference, and with a comprehensive view, while explaining the applications and principles of operation of infrared systems, it examines various methods of countermeasure with this type of camera. Also, at the end of the paper, a comprehensive classification of methods to countermeasure with this type of camera is presented.
