Digital shutterless thermovision camera based on uncooled amorphous silicon microbolometers is intended for the capturing images in the LWIR (8…14 µm) spectral range.
Due to high performance, camera may be used both self-contained product and built-in module.
Absence of optical electromechanical shutter and thermoelectrical cooling in aggregate with very low power consumption ensures high reliability during operation.
MAIN FIELDS OF APPLICATIONS
– detection and recognition of various objects at a night time without infrared illumination,
– fire detection,
– search and rescue operations,
– infrared TV systems,
– infrared observing systems,
– night vision equipment during vehicle driving,
– heat leakage detection at buildings and heat networks,
– detection of the overheat components in power circuits.
