Understanding the Customer’s Needs
The customer is looking for a compact, high-performance thermal imaging module that delivers real-time, low-latency video suitable for UAV or mobile platform applications.
Key points that define their needs include:
- High frame rate (60fps vun) – crucial for smooth real-time imaging and tracking moving objects.
- Compact size (25.8mm cube) – perfect for integration on drones or gimbals.
- Wide voltage input (4.5–18V) – suitable for direct battery operation.
- CVBS output (NTSC) – allows plug-and-play connection with COFDM video transmitters.
- Excellent environmental tolerance (-40℃ to +80℃) – ideal for outdoor or tactical operations.
This module’s 640×512 Opléisung, 12μm pixel pitch, an <50mK thermal sensitivity indicate it is a professional-grade LWIR sensor, capable of detecting human targets up to 1.1km away.
Product Recommendation: COFDM Wireless Solution
To fully utilize the capabilities of this thermal camera, we recommend integrating it with our H.265 Ultra-Low-Latency COFDM Transceiver Module.
- Input interface: CVBS (analog video input)
- Transmission delay: sou niddereg wéi 30–80ms
- Reechwäit: bis 15 gekm (extendable via Mesh mode)
- Ausgang: HDMI or AV at the ground control station
🔗 Recommended Product: Mobile COFDM Video Transmitter & Empfänger
Suggested System Configuration
Thermal camera (CVBS output) → COFDM transmitter → Mesh relay UAVs (fakultativ) → COFDM receiver → HDMI display
This configuration provides a Stroll, long-distance, real-time thermal video link, even in partially obstructed (NLOS) conditions.
Uwendungen
- UAV and drone thermal inspection
- Border surveillance and perimeter security
- Search and rescue operations
- Firefighting and disaster monitoring
- Wildlife observation and night patrol
FAQ
Q1: Can the thermal camera output digital video?
A1: The current version provides CVBS analog output. A digital upgrade (HDMI/IP) can be achieved by adding a video converter board.
Q2: Is the latency low enough for real-time control?
A2: jo, when combined with our H.265 COFDM transmitter, Total End-bis-Enn Laider kann reduzéiert ginn 30–80ms, suitable for FPV control or tracking.
Q3: Can it operate in harsh outdoor conditions?
A3: jo. The module operates from -40°C to +80°C and uses an athermal lens to ensure focus stability under temperature changes.
Q4 BIS: Is it compatible with existing drone telemetry or OSD systems?
A4 WEIDER: jo. The COFDM system supports video + telemetry transmission, enabling overlay and control data on a single RF link.
Conclusioun
This 640×512, 60fps LWIR thermal camera module, combined with a COFDM wireless transmission system, is an excellent solution for UAV and mobile surveillance applications. It provides high sensitivity, niddereg latency, and robust environmental adaptability — delivering reliable thermal video even in demanding missions.
