Imaging Performance and Sensitivity

High-Resolution Thermal Precision

Equipped with a 640×512 VOx detector, the imaging system captures minute temperature variations with a sensitivity threshold of ≤ 55 mK. This allows operators to detect subtle heat signatures even in low-contrast environments, an essential feature for search-and-rescue, power line inspection, and forest fire monitoring.

Adaptive Optics for Multiple Scenarios

The dual-lens configuration (6.6 mm and 9.1 mm) provides flexible field coverage, enabling drones to alternate between wide-angle surveillance and close-range inspection. The Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) algorithm enhances target contours, improving object recognition in complex thermal landscapes.

 

Features

1. High performance, high sensitivity, stable operation
2. Compatible with a variety of fixed focus and motorized focus lenses to meet the diverse needs
3. Access various systems with SDK and national standard protocol output
4. Support overtemperature alarm, temperature difference alarm and interval alarm
5. Common network protocols including ONVIF, RTSP, DHCP and others

Network Integration and Compatibility

Intelligent Communication Protocols

The camera’s support for multiple network protocols—including HTTP, RTSP, and ONVIF—ensures seamless integration with existing monitoring systems and UAV data transmission networks. Its RJ45 gigabit interface delivers stable video output even under high-bandwidth conditions.

Cloud Connectivity and Remote Operation

Integrated API (ISAPI/SDK) capabilities allow developers to implement customized control and data analytics solutions, making the camera highly adaptable for smart patrol platforms and autonomous flight systems.

 

Thermal Analysis and Measurement

Multi-Region Temperature Tracking

The built-in analysis module supports up to 21 measurement zones, enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple thermal sources. Each region—whether a spot, line, or polygon—can be configured for independent alarm thresholds, optimizing the device for industrial maintenance and infrastructure diagnostics.

Measurement Accuracy and Range

The system’s dual-range design (–20 °C ~ 150 °C and 140 °C ~ 600 °C) ensures accuracy across both low- and high-temperature environments. Measurement precision remains within ± 2 °C or ± 2 %, meeting the demands of scientific research and engineering quality control.

 

Environmental Adaptability

With a compact structure of 45×45 mm and a total weight of 216 g, the module is designed for lightweight UAV payloads. Its operational range of –30 °C to +60 °C and humidity tolerance up to 90% RH guarantee continuous performance in challenging field conditions, from desert heat to alpine cold.

Conclusion

The 640×512 Infrared Network Camera exemplifies the integration of thermal imaging precision, network intelligence, and drone compatibility. Its advanced detector, modular connectivity, and analytical versatility position it as an ideal solution for professional applications in aerial inspection, defense observation, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation. This model bridges the gap between high-performance imaging and real-world operational efficiency, establishing a benchmark for the next generation of drone-mounted infrared systems.
