Infrared Heat Vision Camera

ControlIR 2000 is a digital IR heat vision thermal imager for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and systems integrators targeting security, process control, and machine vision applications. Employing digital processing (DSP) electronics, the product offers thermal image resolution and definition resulting in better overall picture quality than analog cameras. Compared to analog technology, the camera digitizes images at 12 bits vs. 10bits and features performance improvements of twice the sensitivity or noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) and twice the non-uniformity.

The cameras do not require any light and have a detection range substantially greater than other night vision cameras. The camera provides a recursive filtering feature, which enhances sensitivity to temperature differences in scenes being viewed on a pixel-by-pixel basis over two, four or eight frames. Using time-averaged data, this feature is similar to frame integration and allows the camera to see farther and more accurately within a given range.

The camera has a 51-pin connector and two standard serial connections: an RS 232 port to link to a standalone computer system, and an RS 485 port that can connect up to 32 infrared thermal imagers in a networked environment. It features both 16-bit wide digital and standard analog video output. It is available with a variety of lenses ranging from 18 mm to 150 mm.
