5.75mm Uncooled Thermal Camera
Thermal cameras let you see further than any other night vision technology, using radiated heat rather than reflected light to see objects. Humans, animals, and vehicles are typically warmer in contrast to most backgrounds, making trespassers hiding in shadows or bushes easy to spot. Thermal images are also unaffected by bright light and have the ability to see through atmospheric obstructions such as smoke, dust, and light fog. This makes it an ideal technology for many applications, including surveillance and security, search and rescue, fire, marine and land navigation, wide area situational assessment and much more.
Uncooled VOx Thermal Imager
Infiniti’s LWIR cameras use a cutting-edge 12μm VOx uncooled sensor, giving the camera a narrower field of view without changing the lens. The smaller 12μm pixel pitch achieves a 40% further range than 17μm sensors or 200% further range than older 25μm sensors. The high-sensitivity sensor detects differences in temperature as small as ±0.02°C, and its no‑maintenance VOx design, unlike other thermal cores, is self-healing and resistant to solar damage.
Athermalized Germanium Lens
The VOx core is paired with a precision-engineered 5.75mm germanium lens to provide a wide 75° horizontal field of view (when paired with the 640×512 sensor). This lens features a wide aperture of f/1.2 compared to the standard f/1.5–f/1.6 which allows almost twice as much heat to reach the sensor. This results in higher sensitivity, sharper images, and longer range making it the most cost-effective long-range imaging solution.
