The CVBS Thermal Imaging Camera Module incorporates an uncooled LWIR microbolometer sensor that detects infrared radiation in the 8–14 µm spectral band and converts it into analog thermal video output via the CVBS standard. With a typical resolution around 640 × 480 pixels and high thermal sensitivity (e.g., ~30 mK), this module provides detailed heat pattern visualization even in low-contrast situations. Built-in image enhancement features such as gain control and noise suppression improve scene clarity. The CVBS output ensures compatibility with analog monitors, DVRs, and legacy systems, making it ideal for applications where digital video interfaces are impractical or unnecessary.

Standard Analog CVBS Output

This thermal imaging module outputs CVBS analog video, making it directly compatible with traditional analog monitors, DVR units, and security system displays without requiring digital converters—ideal for upgrading legacy video infrastructures.

Reliable Thermal Detection

Equipped with an LWIR microbolometer and thermal sensitivity around 30 mK, the camera captures subtle temperature differences, enabling users to detect heat signatures of objects, people, or equipment even in complete darkness or obscured conditions.

Robust Image Enhancement

Built-in image processing improves contrast and detail through automatic and manual gain settings, reducing noise and enhancing clarity in thermal video output—crucial for surveillance and inspection applications.

Compact, Lightweight Design

With compact dimensions (~40 × 40 × 45 mm) and a light weight (< 85 g), the module integrates easily into space-constrained systems such as UAVs, fixed analog camera housings, portable units, or robotic vision platforms.

Fast Activation

A rapid start-up time under 5 seconds ensures the thermal core is quickly operational, reducing setup time for field deployments or mobile inspection tasks.

Wide Operating Range

The module’s operational temperature range (typically from below freezing to elevated ambient conditions) allows reliable performance in diverse environments—from outdoor security to industrial facilities.

Low Power Consumption

Efficient design ensures minimal power draw (commonly around 12 V DC), making it suitable for battery-powered, mobile, or remote installations where energy efficiency matters.

Security and Surveillance

In perimeter security, border checkpoints, and facility monitoring, thermal imaging provides visibility independent of light conditions. The CVBS module offers an affordable way to integrate thermal vision into existing analog CCTV systems, detecting intruders, vehicles, or heat anomalies during nighttime or poor visibility.

Legacy Systems and Infrastructure Upgrades

Many older installations rely on analog video. The CVBS thermal core allows system integrators to add thermal imaging capabilities to these setups without replacing entire infrastructures, preserving investment and simplifying deployment.

Industrial Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Thermal visualization helps identify overheating equipment, electrical faults, and mechanical wear. Analog thermal output can feed into standard monitors and recording systems used in factories, power plants, or processing facilities for continuous condition monitoring.

UAV and Mobile Platforms

Its compact footprint and analog output make the module suitable for lightweight UAV or vehicle-mounted applications where simple video transmission is preferred over complex networked interfaces—ideal for search operations, inspections, or environmental scanning.

Agricultural and Environmental Observation

Farmers and land managers can use thermal imaging to monitor crop health, detect irrigation issues, or observe nocturnal wildlife activity, leveraging the analog output for display on rugged field monitors.

Research and Education

In laboratories and educational settings, the CVBS module provides hands-on thermal imaging experience using standard video equipment, aiding studies in thermodynamics, materials testing, and environmental science.
