Uncooled Camera Core Products

Camera cores are thermal imaging camera modules that provide similar features and functions to those found in some of FLIR's standard camera products, however cores are designed to permit easy and efficient integration into higher level systems.

An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a manufacturer/seller of a product whose company integrates FLIR's thermal cores or components into a system that it sells under its own company name or brand.

Tau 320 For handheld thermal images and unmanned vehicle payload cameras; for firefighting instruments and thermal sights, Tau is the best choice for applications that demand light weight, small size, and low power utilization.

Tau 640 FLIR's Tau 640 is a 640x480 LWIR uncooled focal plane array (FPA) camera with a pixel size of 17 microns.

Photon 640 FLIR's Photon 640 LWIR thermal imaging camera is based on the same camera design architecture as the Photon 320, which means the same rapid turn-on time, wide operating temperature range, high shock rating, and overall reliability customers have come to expect from the Photon family.

Photon 320 This Photon infrared camera core is based on a 320x240 commercially-developed, military-qualified (CDMQ) LWIR thermal imaging camera. Photon 320s are widely used in handheld firefighting safety instruments, and are the best-selling IR payload camera for small unmanned vehicles, including the Raven-B. .

Photon 160 Photon 160 is a reduced resolution variant of the popular Photon 320. This version is, in part, a replacement product for FLIR’s Micron 160x120 camera (also known as the A10, and originally called the Omega).

Photon 120 Photon 120 is a reduced resolution variant of the popular Photon 320. This version of Photon is intended for high-volume OEM customers.

Photon 80 Photon 80 is a reduced resolution variant of the popular Photon 320. This version of Photon is intended for high-volume OEM customers.

PathFindIR FLIR’s PathFindIR is a low cost 320x240 uncooled core designed for driving vision enhancement applications such as automotive, mining, maritime, emergency response vehicles, and UGV’s. It is a complete camera system with a hermetically sealed, I-67 rated enclosure, heated optic, 12VDC nominal power input, and small form factor.
