Introduction to EO/IR Camera Modules

Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) camera modules are sophisticated sensor systems that capture images in both the visible and infrared spectrums. These systems are critical in scenarios requiring real-time, high-resolution imaging under various lighting and environmental conditions.

Applications of EO/IR Camera Modules

EO/IR camera modules are utilized in a multitude of applications, including but not limited to:

  • Military and defense for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
  • Aerospace for navigational assistance and environmental monitoring.
  • Security and surveillance for border control and perimeter security.
  • Search and rescue operations.

These modules provide a vital tool for maintaining situational awareness in complex operational theaters.

Technology Behind EO/IR Camera Modules

Electro-Optical Technology

Electro-optical technology in these modules involves the use of high-resolution CCD or CMOS sensors. Specifications for EO cameras often include:

  • Resolution up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels).
  • Zoom capabilities ranging from 20x to 60x optical zoom.
  • Frame rates of up to 60 frames per second (fps) to capture fast-moving objects.

Infrared Technology

Infrared technology relies on the conversion of IR radiation into an electronic signal to form an image. Typical features include:

  • Thermal sensitivity: < 50 mK at room temperature.
  • Temperature measurement range: -20°C to 550°C.
  • Resolution of 640 x 480 pixels or higher for thermal cameras.
