Long-Wave IR Thermal Imaging Camera Module
80×62 Pixels IR Array
Small Size | Non-Contact | Motion Detection
Features At a Glance
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.
Four versions are available: options for HAT version with Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header and USB version with Type-C port. Also provides basic version and wide-angle version with 45° / 90° FOV.
