- Low power design for extend longer operating time
- Low cost for many kinds of intelligent applications

The TIMO120 infrared thermal camera core is widely used in many areas, such as Thermography, Intelligent Hardware, Smart Building, Smart Home, AIoT etc.

1. Difference between Thermal Image & Visual Image about Lens

The main difference of the lens is that thermal imaging lens must be made of special materials. The main reason is that infrared heat radiation cannot pass through glass (silicon), so special lenses made of special germanium, chromium and other metal materials are used. This also causes the price of thermal imaging lens to be a bit higher than that of the optical lens, which also increases the price of the whole device.

2. Difference between Thermal Image & Visual Image about Imaging Principle

Their imaging principles are basically the same. Imaging devices image light waves within a certain wavelength range. In nature, the wavelength range of visible light is from 0.39μm to 0.78μm, while the wavelength range of infrared thermal radiation is from 0.75μm to 1000μm. As long as target temperature is higher than absolute zero -273 ℃, there will be infrared radiation.
