Camera for FPV drone Caddx IRC-384CA, thermal imaging, 384×288, 17 μm, PAL

CADDXFPV IRC-384CA - a professional thermal imaging FPV camera designed for maximum control in complete darkness, smoke, fog and difficult weather conditions. Thanks to the highly sensitive VOx detector with a resolution of 384×288 at 17 μm and a frame rate of 50 Hz, the camera transmits smooth thermal imaging images in real time without jerks.

The F1.0 / 4 mm optical module provides excellent thermal imaging of objects at different distances, and low consumption of <1.5 W makes the camera ideal for unmanned platforms where energy efficiency is important. The compact body (27×37×49.8 mm) and weight of only 73.5 g allow it to be installed on almost any FPV drone or other mobile system.

Operating in a wide temperature range –20℃ ～ +60℃ and outputting an analog video signal PAL, IRC-384CA guarantees stable transmission of thermal data in the most extreme conditions. This is a reliable solution for professional tasks, search operations, technical monitoring and special-purpose FPV drones.

Advantages:

• High resolution of the matrix: 384 × 288 pixels - allows you to obtain a detailed thermal image.
• Large pixel size - 17 μm - improves the sensitivity of the thermal imager, gives better quality in difficult conditions.
• The wavelength range 8–12 μm - allows you to capture thermal radiation in the typical IR range, which is important for an accurate thermal image.
• The frame rate 50 Hz - means a smooth real thermal image broadcast, important in dynamic applications (e.g. FPV drones or search/rescue).
• Low power consumption: consumption less than 1.5 W - very useful for mobile systems where autonomy is important.
• Wide operating temperature range: from -20 ℃ to +60 ℃ - guarantees reliable operation in cold or hot ambient temperatures.
• Compact size and light weight - facilitate integration into drones, platforms or portable systems.
