Uncooled LWIR VOx 640x512 / 12μm Drone Thermal Camera with Clear Imaging and Thermography

PLUG612R integrates the 640x512 IR thermal imaging sensor by Global Sensor Technology (GST). It is customized according to the strict requirements of the infrared load of the UAV with small size and flexible, lightweight structure, fully optimizing the SWAP.

The PLUG612R is specially designed for the commercial unmanned aerial vehicle. In the routine inspection of petrochemical pipeline, power transmission and photovoltaic power generation system, there may be some problems of blind area of vision and low inspection efficiency in manual operation, because the equipment is distributed in a place that is difficult for personnel to reach or open and vast. The UAV equipped with infrared thermal imaging detectors or modules can quickly detect abnormal high or low temperature areas, so as to analyze whether there is oil leakage in petrochemical pipelines, or whether there is overheating risk in power lines and photovoltaic panels, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency and reduces the possible personnel risks.

UAV equipped with PLUG612R thermal camera can also be used in other areas, such as enforcement and rescue, firefighting application, animal observation etc.

- Mini Size
- Light Weight
- NETD＜40mk
- High Quality Image
- Low Power Consumption
- Rapid Development & Integration

The PLUG612R thermal camera for UAV can be used for electric power inspection, photovoltaic inspection, environmental protection detection, scientific research, aerial photography, police investigation, disaster relief & rescue, forest fire prevention, urban safety etc.

1. What is infrared thermal imaging?

Infrared thermal imaging is a method of using infrared radiation and thermal energy to gather information about objects, in order to formulate images of them, or get temperature information of the objects, even in low visibility environments.

2. How does Infrared Thermal Imaging Work?
Infrared thermal imaging system is a passive non-contact detection and identification of infrared technology. It focuses the infrared radiation of the scene on the focal plane array infrared detector through the infrared optical system that can pass through infrared radiation. The thermal detector converts the radiation signal of different intensity into the corresponding electrical signal, and then through amplification and video processing, forms the infrared image that can be observed by the naked eyes.

3. What is thermal sensitivity?

Thermal Sensitivity, also named NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference), is a key parameter for evaluating medium wave (MWIR) and long wave (LWIR) thermal imaging cameras. It is directly related to the clarity measured by the thermal imager. It is a numerical value representing the signal-to-noise ratio of the temperature difference and measured in milliKelvins (mK). The smaller the thermal sensitivity value, the higher the sensitivity and the clearer the image.
