Versatile fully-integrated security and surveillance thermal camera module

Designed for OEMs and integrators, the ACAL BFi ICC-TM640-105HZ all-in-one thermal camera module combines the Tamarisk 640 high-performance uncooled thermal camera core from DRS Technologies with an outstanding 35-105mm 3x zoom lens. The module is ideal for security and surveillance applications in harsh operational environments, says the company. Alex Schneider, business development director, imaging and security, Acal BFi, said: “We are delighted to launch the ICC-TM640-105HZ “all-in-one” thermal camera module to the market and add to our range of high performance, thermal camera modules. Acal BFi’s portfolio of uncooled thermal camera modules provides customers with the flexibility to design a thermal imaging camera specifically to their set requirements, whilst being supported by the company’s test and development process to ensure they have the best solution for their application.” Features include: 1 - High resolution - based on a 640 x 480, 17 micron pitch, uncooled LWIR sensor, the module delivers simultaneous Camera Link® digital and analogue PAL at 9Hz or 25Hz. 2 - Superior image processing - seamlessly integrating edge enhancement, dynamic contrast thresholding and adaptive rescaling. 3 - High sensitivity thermal zoom - a 35mm to 105mm continuous zoom lens with a 3x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, and horizontal field of view from 17.1 to 1.5 degrees. 4 - Optical image stabilisation - compensates for shaking caused by wind, unstable camera mounts, or when using the camera on moving vehicles. 5 - Greater Noise Equivalent Detection Temperature – high aperture F/1.0 lens provides superior sensitivity in fog or smoke when compared to similar cameras on the market.
