Thermal Imaging Cameras

Detect hot spots, leaks, moisture problems, and construction defects invisible to the eye. These imaging guns translate thermal energy into a color image that indicates hotter areas as brighter and cooler areas as darker, so it’s easy to identify and diagnose problems on instrument panels, HVAC systems, and other equipment. To review footage at a later date, use them to take photos and videos. The lower a camera’s thermal sensitivity, the more precise heat differences it will detect for more detailed images. All are CE marked as meeting European standards for health, safety, and environmental protection. Some include a calibration certificate traceable to NIST stating they’ve passed a test for accuracy.

FDA compliant cameras are approved for use alongside other screening devices to detect differences in skin surface temperature. Use screening mode to scan large crowds of people, and these cameras will notify you when someone’s temperature is above your specified range. Draw a square around a specific area to get its average temperature with the area box function, or target a specific object with the spot meter feature. A laser sight tells you how far you are from your target, so you know you’re standing at a safe distance. Record verbal notes for documentation with the built-in microphone. These cameras connect to computers via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or a USB cable for quick data transfers.
Use cameras with a 2732° F maximum temperature in facilities with extremely hot equipment such as boilers and steam systems. A one-touch level/span function lets you focus on a single area by tapping the touch screen, giving you a temperature span and contrast level specific to that area. These cameras have a 180° rotating lens, so you can get a clear view of your target from any angle.
Cameras that cannot be sold to California do not meet local efficiency standards.

Motion-Sensing Modules for Development Boards
By detecting body heat, these modules sense when people are moving. Connect them to your development board to integrate them into alarm systems, automated lighting, and other applications.
Modules with a fixed infrared motion and thermal sensor can detect if a person is moving or even just present within the sensing distance. That means you could use them to automate lighting in an office where workers are sitting still. To connect them to your device, solder on wires or headers. For a solderless connection, use a Qwiic cord.
