Camera Module
80×62 Pixels IR Array
Small Size | Non-contact | Motion Detection

This is a long-wave IR thermal imaging camera that adopts the hybrid technology of microbolometer and thermopile pixel, features 80x62 array pixels. It will detect the IR distribution of objects in the field of view, turn the data into surface temperature of the objects by calculation, and then generate thermal images, for easy integration into miscellaneous industrial or intelligent control applications.
Provides two version options: Thermal Camera HAT with Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header and Thermal USB Camera with Type-C port.
Key features include:
- Adopts the hybrid technology of microbolometer and thermopile, 80x62 array pixels
- Continuous operation and thermal imaging video stream due to shutterless design
- Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) 150mK RMS@1Hz refresh rate
- Up to 25FPS (Max) thermal imaging video stream output
- Comes with online resources and manuals (Python demo for Raspberry Pi, Android/Windows host computer and user manual, etc.)
Main applications:
- High precision long-term non-contact temperature online monitoring
- IR thermal imaging devices, IR thermometers
- Smart home, intelligent building, intelligent lighting
- Industrial temperature control, security & safety, intrude/motion detection
- Small Target Thermal Analysis, Heat Trend Analysis and Solutions
