This HD Thermal Imaging Camera Module integrates a high-resolution LWIR microbolometer detector into a compact imaging core designed for versatile system integration. The uncooled sensor operates in the 8–14 µm spectral band and delivers detailed thermographic images that visualise heat signatures independent of lighting conditions. On-board FPGA processing enhances image quality through gain control, spatial/temporal filtering, and palette options, while interfaces like HDMI and USB-C facilitate video output and control. The module’s small footprint, low weight, and flexible lens options allow integrators to tailor thermal vision systems for unmanned platforms, fixed surveillance cameras, handheld devices, or industrial monitoring applications.

High-Definition Thermal Resolution

Equipped with a 1280 × 1024 px LWIR detector, this module captures detailed thermal images with high spatial fidelity—enabling enhanced visualisation of thermal gradients and temperature differences critical for detection and analysis.

Sensitive Thermal Detection

With thermal sensitivity better than 50 mK, the camera detects minute temperature changes, making it suitable for applications from industrial defect detection to environmental monitoring where subtle heat variations matter.

Flexible Output and Integration

Multiple connectivity options—including HDMI, USB-C, and Ethernet with PoE—support diverse system designs and video outputs, from standalone monitors to networked surveillance platforms.

Robust and Reliable Design

The IP67-rated aluminum housing and wide operating temperature range (−32 °C to +70 °C) ensure long-term reliability in demanding environments such as outdoor monitoring, maritime operations, and industrial automation.

Advanced Image Processing

On-board FPGA processing delivers automatic and manual gain control, spatial and temporal filtering, and multiple palette options for clear, noise-reduced thermal imagery across diverse conditions.

Compact and Lightweight

At under 85 g and approximately 43 × 42 × 51 mm, the module is ideal for space-constrained systems like drones, portable handheld devices, or fixed embedded cameras with minimal power consumption (~2.9 W).

Rapid Deployment and Ease of Use

With a start-up time of less than 5 seconds and intuitive control software, integrators and end-users can quickly activate and manage the module, improving operational efficiency in real-time monitoring tasks.

Unmanned Platforms (UAV/UGV/USV)

The HD thermal module’s compact size, low weight, and high resolution make it ideal for unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime systems, providing real-time thermal vision for navigation, target detection, and situational awareness during missions.

Security and Surveillance

High sensitivity and detailed thermal imagery help surveillance systems detect intruders, monitor perimeters at night, and distinguish heat signatures even in poor lighting or adverse weather—enhancing safety in critical infrastructure, urban environments, and public spaces. Workswell

Industrial Inspection and Monitoring

In manufacturing and industrial automation, the camera module supports thermal monitoring of equipment, electrical systems, and processes to identify hotspots, prevent failures, and optimise performance without physical contact.

Maritime and Navigation Support

For marine applications, high-resolution thermal imaging assists with navigation, obstacle detection, and lookout duties at sea in darkness or low visibility—helping vessels operate safely in challenging conditions.

Search and Rescue Operations

Thermal cameras are crucial tools for search and rescue teams, enabling rapid detection of heat signatures of people, animals, or vehicles across terrain and conditions where optical systems fail.

Building and Infrastructure Health

In construction and facility management, thermal imaging aids in energy audits, insulation inspection, leak detection, and electrical system analysis to improve efficiency, safety, and preventive maintenance.
