Uncooled ultra-high sensitive SmartIR640 30mK thermal core now to tackle cooled camera
After Photonis and Device ALab joined forces, Photonis is proud to introduce the 30mK variant of the SmartIR640, the well-known VGA uncooled LWIR camera core. This camera is part of the growing LWIR camera families which uses proprietary shutterless technology and contributes to complete the product portfolio of Photonis Digital Vision.
Taking electronic noise to a new level
This SWaP camera variant embeds the PICO640S Lynred detector (<30 mK). It simply takes the best out of the detector (related to Lynred remarkable reproductible performances) and the camera concept. Indeed, SmartIR640 30mK variant illustrates in a very concrete manner Device-ALab’s design does feature ultra-low-noise electronics. Daravan LY, General Manager to explain: "Implementing the ultra-high-grade sensor did not require heavy developments. Our team simply fine-tuned the existing electronics of SmartIR640 series to get the final result at 30 Hz of typical NETD value of 25mK!” This is of importance, considering that other players in uncooled reach low NETD only when applying 3D denoising and with frame rate of 9Hz.
A breakthrough for both defense and non-defense applications.
Our thermal technology within the SmartIR640 30mK offers thermal detection to offer high impact rates for operations currently in SAR (Search&Rescue), Border Surveillance, Site Perimeter Security, and Remote Stationary Weapons. NETD at 25mK improves DRI (Detection Recognition Identification) and reduces FAR (False Alarm Rate), in a very similar way as cooled cameras brings in comparison to uncooled cameras.
