2. Product Features

  • Ultra‑small form factor & ultra‑light weight: 20×20×20 mm footprint and only 12 g (without lens) enable seamless integration into the most compact devices.
  • Ultra‑low power consumption: < 1 W typical, extending battery life in handheld and UAV applications.
  • Shutterless technology: Eliminates mechanical shutter for faster startup (<7 s), higher reliability, and silent operation.
  • High‑resolution detector: 640×480 resolution with 12 μm pixel pitch provides exceptional image detail and thermal sensitivity (≤40 mK).
  • Flexible customization: Optional infrared lenses (12–50 mm), digital video interfaces, and communication ports to suit diverse system requirements.
  • Advanced image adjustment: Polarity (black/white hot, pseudo color), 1‑8× digital zoom (0.1× steps), brightness control, image flip, and customizable reticles.
  • Wide input voltage & protection: Operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V DC with built‑in reverse polarity and under/over voltage protection.
  • Rugged environmental performance: Operating temperature range from -40°C to +60°C (special) and meets GJB 150 vibration/shock standards.
