1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory, the memory containing instructions to control any number of the at least one processor to:
receive, from a first infrared image capture device with a first field of view, three images including at least some gas equipment, the three images including a first image of the at least some gas equipment captured at a first time period, a second image of the at least some gas equipment captured at a second time period, and a third image of the at least some gas equipment captured at a third time period, the first time period being before the second time period and the third time period, the second time period being before the third time period, the three images capturing an infrared spectrum;
interpret one of the three images in a red color channel of an RGB image where pixels are red-tonal in coloring;
interpret an other of the three images in a green color channel of the RGB image where pixels are green-tonal in coloring;
interpret a remaining of the three images in a blue color channel of the RGB image where pixels are blue-tonal in coloring; and
provide the RGB image for display, the RGB image indicating movement in at least one of the three images over the second time period or third time period relative to the first time period as at least one color that is different from color of at least some of the gas equipment in the three images.
