Description

The Cooled Long-Wave Infrared Camera from LEADIR represents a breakthrough in high-resolution cooled LWIR technology. By combining a 640 x 512 resolution detector with a 15um pixel pitch and a massive motorized zoom lens, this camera excels in identifying targets that are invisible to standard uncooled systems.Designed for seamless integration into various optoelectronic systems, this module excels in professional applications requiring rapid detection and tracking. It functions reliably in extreme environments ranging from -40C to +60C. With high-speed digital and analog outputs, including 1080P SDI and CameraLink, it provides reliable, measurement-grade data for demanding industrial and defense applications.
