Abstract
An image-capturing device contains a housing and a camera accommodated in the housing in particular for continuous image capturing and the generation of corresponding image data. Accordingly, the camera is a thermal-imaging camera for capturing thermal images. At least one part of the housing lying in the field of view of the thermal-imaging camera or a part of the housing embodied as an optical lens is constructed such that the part is at least substantially transparent in the infrared range and nontransparent, in particular opaque, in the optically visible range. According to one particular embodiment, the image-capturing device is configured as a person-counting mechanism.
