Built for demanding thermal imaging systems
Our uncooled LWIR cores turn heat into clear, actionable images for industrial automation, electrical inspection, security, aerial surveys and laboratory research. Every module shares the same VOx detector platform, so resolution, sensitivity and interface behaviour stay consistent across your product line — while you choose the form factor, output and optics that fit each application.
Industrial inspection
Spot overheating bearings, failing motors and blocked insulation before they stop a line. The 640×512 sensor captures fine thermal detail at 50 Hz, keeping moving targets sharp for process monitoring and machine-vision acquisition. Choose JM611A1C for CVBS systems or JM609A1C for USB 2.0.
Electrical & power
Scan switchgear, busbars and transformer connections without interrupting service. A ≤40 mK NETD reveals early resistive hotspots long before contact instruments do, and the compact module fits both handheld inspection cameras and fixed monitoring nodes. Recommended: JM611A1C.
Security & surveillance
Thermal imaging sees heat rather than light, so perimeters stay covered in total darkness, smoke and fog — without active illumination. The low-power core suits 24/7 fixed cameras and handheld observation gear. For USB/UART control use JM609A1C.
Drones & UAV
At ≤63 g, the core keeps UAV payloads light and flight times long for solar-panel checks, power-line surveys and search-and-rescue. CVBS output drops into most FPV and gimbal video chains with minimal integration work. Recommended: JM611A1C.
Scientific research
Capture thermal-flow, material and prototype data without a cryocooler. The uncooled VOx detector simplifies bench setups, while 50 Hz output records fast thermal transients. JM609A1C adds USB 2.0 for direct PC capture.
OEM development
Build a thermal product without developing a detector from scratch. CVBS, USB 2.0 or UART control match your platform, and we support custom lenses, cables and interface matching for volume programs. Start with the 384×288 core for cost-sensitive designs.
How to choose the right core
Resolution: 640 vs 384
For detailed target identification, longer stand-off distances and sharper thermal images, choose 640×512. The 384×288 core covers cost-sensitive designs where the target is close or the output feeds a coarser display.
Interface: CVBS, USB or UART
CVBS is the simplest path into analog monitors and FPV chains. USB 2.0 suits PC-based capture and machine vision, while the UART channel handles shutter control and settings in embedded systems.
Optics: match the lens to the job
Field of view depends on focal length and the 12 µm pixel. Tell us your working distance and target size, and we will recommend a lens and confirm NETD, focus and mounting requirements.
