XTM-640

High resolution uncooled thermal OEM module

Ready-to-integrate thermal OEM module consuming ultra-low-power

Xenics’ XTM-640 is an extremely compact and versatile thermal camera module with unique image quality and stability for a broad range of OEM applications. These applications include security, night vision, firefighting, airborne and land-based reconnaissance and surveillance.

We guarantee you unparalleled uniform and crisp thermal images thanks to onboard image processing and full shutter control.

You can easily integrate our XTM-640 into your system with the universal Samtec QTE connector, providing digital video out or raw digital data. This allows you immediate connection, data acquisition, command and control.

The small pixel pitch of 17 μm allows for longer Detection, Recognition and Identification (DRI) values in critical security applications.

Application notes
Thermal camera cores for reconnaissance robots Customer Success Story - XTM thermal OEM core installed on reconnaissance robot
Dual-Band Monitoring Keeps Trains Running in Winter Keeping critical parts of the railroad infrastructure free of snow, sleet, hail and ice – and even detecting unauthorized persons walking the rails – is essential for a safe and uninterrupted transportation service. Dual-band monitoring of critical rail elements with a PTZ (pan, tilt and zoom) camera platform in the visible and thermal infrared ranges can remotely inspect installed switch heaters at a range of up to 2000 ft.
