640x512 LWIR Thermal Imaging Camera for FPV Drones

A compact long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera with 640 × 512 resolution for FPV drones, giving a heat-signature view for search and rescue, security patrols, power-line and equipment inspection, and night flying. At 44 g it adds little to a mid-size quad's all-up weight.

Key features

• 640 × 512 thermal resolution, over six times the pixels of a common 256 × 192 FPV thermal core, for detail at altitude
• NETD below 50 mK, picking out small temperature differences against the background
• Temperature accuracy of ±2°C across a −20°C to 150°C scene range
• 20–30 fps frame rate
• Molex connector for a secure, low-profile cable run

A 20–30 fps image suits surveying and spotting rather than fast proximity flying.
