PLUG617 LWIR 640x512 / 17μm Uncooled Thermal Camera Module for Security and Monitoring

PLUG617 LWIR infrared module is one of the PLUG series that are developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST). The PLUG617 uncooled infrared camera core with a resolution of 640x512 and a pixel size of 17um is an ideal solution for security monitoring applications. This type of camera core offers high-quality thermal imaging capabilities, even in complete darkness or adverse weather conditions.

One of the key advantages of uncooled infrared camera cores is that they do not require a cryogenic cooler, which greatly simplifies the design and reduces the cost of the camera system. This makes uncooled infrared cameras ideal for a wide range of security monitoring applications, including surveillance, perimeter protection, and intrusion detection.

The high-resolution 640x512 sensor and small pixel size of 17um provide exceptional image clarity and detail, allowing even small temperature differences to be detected in the thermal image. This level of detail is essential for security monitoring applications, as it can help identify potential threats or anomalous behavior that might otherwise go undetected.

- NETD<30mk, High Sensitivity
- Stable Performance
- Easy Integration & Plug-in
- Clear Image Quality & Details
- Strong Environmental Adaptability

The PLUG617 thermal camera module can be integrated into security cameras with temperature monitoring from short distance to ultra distance, such as PTZ Camera, Box Camera, Speed Dome Camera.

1. How to choose proper infrared detector resolution?

It depends on the actual needs and applications of your products, and the price is also a factor that needs to be considered. If the image quality is not high, you can choose the infrared detector with low resolution, such as 120x90, 256x192, 400x300. If you need a very clear image for some special purposes, such as remote monitoring, you can choose a high resolution infrared detector of 1280x1024.

2. How to select right pseudo color for thermal imaging?

- The gray white is more suitable for the target with small temperature difference

- The red and blue is more suitable for the scene where the problem points need to be found.

- The iron red is the standard color palette of the power industry.

Note: no matter which palette you choose, the thermal temperature will not change at all.

3. How to choose a suitable infrared thermal camera lens?

- Standard lens can meet normal targets with appropriate distance

- For the telephoto lens, it’s suitable for targets that is relatively small and needs to be viewed from a long distance

- To see more detail of objects at close distance, wide angle lens is better.

- Macro lens is for seeing very tinny target with close distance, such as chip circuit.
