IR and NIR camera modules are used in applications where there is no immediate use of a camera housing. Most often, to save space.
ZIP Technology's camera modules/cores allow proprietary sensor configurations, data output and optics.

A thermal camera core always consists of a detector and all corresponding electronic borads. Depending on the wavelength, we use InGaAs sensors with numbers of pixels, microbolometers or HgCdTe(MCT) detectors. The user determines the interface and which can be configured for various data output variants. The user's optics can be integrated. If purchased with the camera, the lens is already mounted.
All in all, the camera module is an easy way to build one's own camera without having to go through fundamental engineering routines.

These modules are then combined with either of the following interfaces: CameraLink [16 bit], GigE Vision [16 bit], Pal or NTSC-Video, Digital Video [16 bit] or BT.656.  

We provide comprehensive documentation to facilitate an easy setup. The purcahser has no worry about the complicated integration.
