Infiniti offers cooled thermal cameras in SD or HD resolutions. Our 15μm 640×480 InSb or MCT sensors are comparable to the standard MWIR offerings in the industry, while our 10μm 1280×1024 HD X-Hot sensor provides 400% higher resolution and 50% longer range than traditional 15μm sensors.
Our wide variety of MWIR sensors and lenses range from a 19–275mm f/5.5 zoom (28.4°–2.0° HFOV) with SD resolution to a 100–1215mm f/4.0 zoom lens (7.3°–0.6° HFOV) with HD resolution, capable of human detection at over 50km based on DRI ratings in ideal conditions.
MWIR sensors use integrated cryo-coolers to cool the sensors down to -196°C (InSb) or -123°C (X-Hot). This reduces the amount of noise being generated by the camera components themselves, which exponentially increases the sensitivity of the thermal detector. Doing this allows MWIR cameras to use much smaller and/or more powerful lenses than uncooled LWIR cameras, however the cryo-coolers do require maintenance at regular intervals (approximately every 8,000~25,000 hours).
To illustrate the size difference, this image shows our 15–235mm cooled thermal lens (top) alongside our 26–230mm uncooled thermal lens (bottom).
