适用于无人机的高帧率热像仪

Q: 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.

Q: Q2: Is the latency low enough for real-time control?

A2: Yes, when combined with our H.265 COFDM transmitter, total end-to-end latency can be reduced to 30–80ms , suitable for FPV control or tracking.

Q: Q3: Can it operate in harsh outdoor conditions?

A3: Yes. The module operates from -40°C to +80°C and uses an athermal lens to ensure focus stability under temperature changes.

Q: Q4: Is it compatible with existing drone telemetry or OSD systems?

A4: Yes. The COFDM system supports video + telemetry transmission, enabling overlay and control data on a single RF link.

Today I got a custom inquiry for High-Frame-Rate Thermal Camera for UAVs — 640×512, 60fps LWIR module with CVBS output and 1km detection, ideal for COFDM wireless video transmission.

了解客户的需求

The customer is looking for a 袖珍的, 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 (60帧率) – crucial for smooth real-time imaging and tracking moving objects.
Compact size (25.8mm cube) – perfect for integration on drones or gimbals.
宽电压输入 (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 解析度, 12μm pixel pitch, 和 <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 (模拟视频输入)
Transmission delay: 低如 30–80ms
范围: 取决于 15 公里 (extendable via Mesh mode)
输出量: HDMI or AV at the ground control station

Suggested System Configuration

Thermal camera (CVBS output) → COFDM transmitter → Mesh relay UAVs (可选的) → COFDM receiver → HDMI display

This configuration provides a 稳定的, long-distance, real-time thermal video link, even in partially obstructed (非视距) 状况.

应用

UAV and drone thermal inspection
Border surveillance and perimeter security
Search and rescue operations
Firefighting and disaster monitoring
Wildlife observation and night patrol
