Professional Thermal Camera
≤40 mK NETD, 640 × 512 VOx LWIR, ≤1 W power — professional uncooled thermal camera module for ground surveillance and industrial integration.
System Detail
What It Is
The XTC2640T is an uncooled LWIR thermal imaging camera module using a vanadium oxide focal plane array, classified as an Uncooled LWIR Thermal Camera Module intended for OEM integration into ground surveillance systems, handheld imagers, border security platforms, and industrial inspection equipment.
Performance
The XTC2640T delivers thermal sensitivity of ≤40 mK NETD measured at F/1.0, 50 Hz, and 300 K reference temperature. The 640 × 512 VOx detector operates across an 8–14 μm LWIR spectral range with a 12 μm pixel pitch and supports sensor frame rates up to 60 Hz, with digital video output at 25 Hz or 50 Hz. Power consumption is ≤1 W from a 5–12 VDC supply. The module weighs ≤23 g without lens and connector, or ≤72 g configured with a 25 mm lens and connector.
Key Technical Features
- Multi-interface digital output supporting USB (UVC) and BT.656 video alongside RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial communication for direct integration with embedded processors and digital-video systems.
- Intelligent image processing pipeline incorporating NUC non-uniformity correction, digital noise reduction, digital detail enhancement, and seven pseudo-colour palettes including White Hot, Black Hot, Iron Red, and Rainbow.
- Built-in electrical protection covering over-current, over-voltage, reverse-polarity, and high-voltage surge suppression for reliable operation in uncontrolled field power environments.
- Compatible with standard and optional lens assemblies from 6 mm to 75 mm focal length, enabling broad field-of-view configuration for the target integration scenario.
Platform Compatibility
The XTC2640T is suited for mast-mount or vehicle-fixed ground surveillance installations, integration into handheld thermal imager housings, industrial thermography instruments, and border security systems. The XTM2640T bare-core variant of the same imaging engine targets OEM board-level integration in custom enclosures.
VOx Thermal Sensitivity
The XTC2640T uses a vanadium oxide uncooled focal plane array operating across the 8–14 μm LWIR band with a 12 μm pixel pitch. This detector architecture achieves ≤40 mK NETD, enabling reliable detection of minute scene temperature differences under challenging environmental conditions.
Multi-Interface Video Output
The module simultaneously supports USB (UVC) and BT.656 digital video outputs alongside RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial communication interfaces. This combination allows direct connection to embedded processors, display monitors, and digital recorders without additional signal conversion hardware.
Intelligent Image Processing Engine
Onboard processing applies non-uniformity correction, digital noise reduction, and digital detail enhancement in real time. Seven selectable pseudo-colour palettes and three digital zoom levels allow operators to adapt the displayed imagery to scene conditions and mission requirements.
Ultralight Power-Efficient Design
The camera weighs ≤23 g without lens and draws ≤1 W from a wide 5–12 VDC supply, with built-in protection against over-current, over-voltage, reverse-polarity, and surge events. This power profile supports extended-duration portable and battery-backed installations.

Designed for the Field
Ground Surveillance and Border Security
The XTC2640T addresses the need for a compact, low-power LWIR imaging engine deployable in fixed or portable ground surveillance roles.
Industrial Inspection and Thermography
The module supports industrial thermography and infrastructure monitoring applications requiring accurate thermal imaging in a self-contained camera form factor.
OEM System Integration
System integrators and OEM manufacturers incorporate the XTC2640T into custom handheld imagers, surveillance housings, and embedded inspection instruments via its multi-interface output architecture.
Ground Surveillance and Border Security
The XTC2640T provides a compact LWIR imaging engine for fixed perimeter surveillance and border security installations requiring continuous unattended monitoring in all-weather conditions. Its operating range from −40 °C to +80 °C and high shock tolerance allow deployment in remote or exposed ground locations. The ≤40 mK NETD sensitivity and 640 × 512 resolution deliver the scene detail necessary for operator-confirmed threat assessment at surveillance distances, while the ≤1 W power budget enables solar or battery-backed installations.
- Sensitivity (NETD): ≤40 mK @ F/1.0, 50 Hz, 300 K
- Resolution: 640 × 512
- Operating Temperature: −40 °C to +80 °C
- Power Consumption: ≤1 W
Industrial Thermography and Inspection
The XTC2640T supports predictive maintenance and industrial inspection workflows where accurate thermal imaging of electrical panels, rotating equipment, and structural materials is required in compact instrument form factors. The enclosed camera housing and multi-interface output allow direct integration with portable test equipment or fixed monitoring stations. The 8–14 μm spectral range and seven pseudo-colour palettes including Iron Red and Lava provide the thermal contrast and visual differentiation that inspection technicians require for rapid anomaly identification.
