Thermal Camera Module Overview

Thermal Imaging Module & Infrared Camera Module for Accurate Temperature Detection

A thermal camera module, also known as a thermal imaging module or IR camera module, integrates an infrared sensor with image processing circuits. IADIY offers high-resolution thermal camera modules for accurate temperature detection and clear imaging under extreme conditions. With in-house capabilities in optics, electronics, and embedded systems, we support full-stack development and manufacturing for custom IR camera modules and thermal systems.

How Does a Thermoelectric or Infrared Camera Module Work?

The higher an object's temperature, the more infrared radiation it emits. A thermal imaging camera module detects this radiation, converting it into electrical signals for image processing. Since thermal cameras do not rely on visible light, they perform effectively in total darkness, fog, or smoke—making them invaluable for surveillance, firefighting, autonomous driving, and medical screening.

1. Thermal Imaging Detector / Infrared Sensor

The infrared sensor is the core of any thermal camera module. IADIY offers both uncooled LWIR modules for general environments and cooled MWIR modules for high-performance, long-range detection. These IR sensors are ideal for border security, military targeting, and industrial inspection.

2. Thermal Infrared Imaging Lenses

Our thermal imaging lenses are made from high-transmission chalcogenide glass. These lenses define the field of view, sensitivity, and overall imaging performance of the thermal camera. Custom lens configurations are available to meet specific requirements in spectral range, thermal resolution, and application.

3. ISP + AI SoC Image Processing Circuit

Embedded thermal camera chip solutions integrate AI-based ISP to enhance clarity and recognition. This enables real-time thermal video processing, smart analytics, and faster object detection across industries such as surveillance, health diagnostics, and smart factories.
