Thermal imaging devices can be used equally well day and night.

No, Thermal imaging cameras do not see-through surface but detect surface temperatures. If a wall is thick enough to trap the heat on one side without leaking it into the other side, then thermal imaging will not detect it. However, if the condition results in a change in the surface temperature of the wall it will be picked up by the thermal imager.

Thermal imagers cannot pick up visible light. Therefore, Glass is not seen as transparent when viewed through a thermal imaging camera.
