2. Product Features

  • Ultra‑small form factor & ultra‑light weight: 28×28 mm PCB size and only 33 g (without lens) enable integration into space‑constrained devices.
  • Ultra‑low power consumption: < 1 W typical, extending battery life in portable and UAV applications.
  • Shutterless technology: Eliminates mechanical shutter for faster startup (<7 s), higher reliability, and silent operation.
  • Dual high‑resolution detector options: Choose between 640×480 17 μm or 640×512 12 μm configurations to balance sensitivity and detail.
  • Excellent sensitivity: ≤30 mK (for 12 μm) or ≤50 mK (for 17 μm) @ f/1.0 ensures superior thermal contrast.
  • Customizable multiple data interfaces: Wide selection of digital video ports (BT.656/16bit/HDMI/USB/RJ45/MIPI/Cameralink) and communication protocols (RS‑232/RS‑485/TTL/Peclo‑D).
  • 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.
