2. Product Features

  • Ultra‑small form factor & ultra‑light weight: 28×28×30 mm size and only 40 g (without lens) enable seamless integration into space‑constrained devices.
  • Ultra‑low power consumption: < 1.5 W typical, extending battery life in handheld and UAV applications.
  • Ultra‑high sensitivity: ≤25 mK (for 12 μm) or ≤40 mK (for 17 μm) @ f/1.0 ensures superior thermal contrast and image clarity.
  • Micro‑shutter technology: Provides reliable operation and consistent image quality across varying scenes.
  • Dual high‑resolution detector options: Choose between 640×480 17 μm or 640×512 12 μm configurations to balance sensitivity and detail.
  • Adaptive non‑uniformity correction: Maintains image uniformity without manual intervention.
  • Flexible interface options: Digital video ports (BT.656/HDMI/RJ45, etc.) and multiple communication protocols (RS‑232/RS‑485/TTL/Peclo‑D) for easy system integration.
  • Wide power input range: Accepts DC +4 V to +12 V, simplifying power supply design.
  • Advanced image adjustment: Polarity (black/white hot, pseudo color), 1‑8× digital zoom (0.1× steps), brightness control, image flip, and customizable reticles.
  • Rugged environmental performance: Operating temperature range from -40°C to +60°C (special) and meets GJB 150 vibration/shock standards.
