Uncooled Thermal Imaging Security Camera Core LWIR 640x512 17μM

Product Specification

PLUG617 LWIR 640x512 / 17μm Uncooled Thermal Camera Module for Security and Monitoring

PLUG617 LWIR infrared module is one of the PLUG series that are developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST). The PLUG617 uncooled infrared camera core with a resolution of 640x512 and a pixel size of 17um is an ideal solution for security monitoring applications. This type of camera core offers high-quality thermal imaging capabilities, even in complete darkness or adverse weather conditions.

One of the key advantages of uncooled infrared camera cores is that they do not require a cryogenic cooler, which greatly simplifies the design and reduces the cost of the camera system. This makes uncooled infrared cameras ideal for a wide range of security monitoring applications, including surveillance, perimeter protection, and intrusion detection.

The high-resolution 640x512 sensor and small pixel size of 17um provide exceptional image clarity and detail, allowing even small temperature differences to be detected in the thermal image. This level of detail is essential for security monitoring applications, as it can help identify potential threats or anomalous behavior that might otherwise go undetected.

The PLUG617 thermal camera module can be integrated into security cameras with temperature monitoring from short distance to ultra distance, such as PTZ Camera, Box Camera, Speed Dome Camera.

1. How does a thermal module work?

A thermal module typically works as follows:

1)Infrared Detection: The thermal module contains an infrared detector that can sense the electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range.

2)Optics: The infrared radiation is focused onto the detector through an optical system, which may include a lens or an array of mirrors.

3)Signal Amplification: The detected signal is amplified and digitized by the electronics inside the thermal module.

4)Image Processing: The digitized signal is then processed to produce a thermal image. This process involves several stages, including noise reduction, contrast enhancement, and color mapping. Additional features such as temperature measurement may be included in the image processing.

5)Display: The thermal image is then displayed on a screen, either inside the thermal module or on an external device.

The operation of a thermal module depends on the type of infrared detector used. Uncooled infrared detectors are based on a thermal effect, where the temperature change caused by the absorbed radiation is detected and converted to a digital signal. Cooled infrared detectors use a different mechanism, such as photoelectric or thermoelectric effects.

Thermal modules can be used for a variety of applications, including thermal imaging for medical, industrial, and security purposes. They are often integrated into devices such as handheld thermal cameras, surveillance cameras, and thermal scopes.
