EVIDIR alpha thermal imaging camera and infrared modules (LWIR)

Make heat visible to precisely measure and evaluate temperature data. With the EVIDIR alpha thermal imaging camera (LWIR), you can take thermal images and thermograms with outstanding image quality.

Thermal imaging camera and infrared modules EVIDIR alpha - one size for all variants

Visualization and analysis of temperature distributions

The new family of EVIDIR alpha thermal imaging cameras (LWIR) feature outstanding thermal image quality and optimized size, weight and performance.

Based on modern 12-μm uncooled microbolometer technology, EVIDIR alpha thermal imaging camera modules deliver sharp and detailed thermal images with a thermal sensitivity of less than 20 mK (NETD).

The modular design gives customers maximum flexibility

With the modular approach, EVIDIR alpha gives the user the greatest flexibility possible so dimensions, interface and software won't change, regardless of how it is used:

  • Viewer or radiometer,
  • Without shutter or with internal mechanical shutter,
  • VGA (640x480) resolution,
  • <9 Hz or 50/60 Hz.

Jenoptik thermal imaging camera: Outstanding image quality and precision radiometry acquired from experience

EVIDIR alpha infrared camera modules provide thermal images showing all details. This first-class quality is based on more than 30 years of Jenoptik's experience in the design, development and production of high-end infrared technology solutions.

Ultra high thermal sensitivity (lowest NETD) with up to

*under special conditions

Our objective: our thermal imaging camera (LWIR) offers the best possible precision for specific applications.

  • Ultra high thermal sensitivity to view the tiniest differences in temperature – what is “high end” for our competitors is standard for us, so we always offer our customers the best product on the market.
  • Precise optical alignment of the sensor, housing and lens ensures excellent sharpness across the entire image
  • Internal camera image correction for superior image quality, unrivaled in the market in this class
  • The extremely reliable mechanical lock guarantees that it will operate even in the toughest conditions
  • Long-term stable shutterless operation allows uninterrupted observation from the very beginning, and is completely silent

Features and benefits of the EVIDIR alpha thermal imaging (LWIR) camera module

  • European Detector Technology
  • The modular approach gives the customer access to:
    • all variants without making any additional changes
    • various options for detector resolution, field of view, interfaces, radiation-based or viewer application, and choice of NUC process
  • Standard interfaces for easy integration into a wide range of applications
  • Standard optics and additional options available upon customer request – allowing the customer to choose the perfect field of view
  • FPGA technology allows customer-specific adaptations of the interface

Outstanding features and technical data of EVIDIR alpha infrared cameras (LWIR)

The viewer produces a very detailed image (8/16-bit b/w or 16/24-bit false colors) with a non-linear gradation to view high contrast for every little detail. In this case, there is no obvious relationship between temperature and pixel value.
For viewer cameras, we have a standard visualization range of -20°C to 60°C.

The radiometic-based devices are designed to provide additional temperature information.

The radiometric calibrated device has two standard measuring ranges.
Zone 1: -40°C to 120°C and range 2: 0°C to 600°C.
Both zones are always active.

Three radiometric-based modes are available.

  1. The camera generates temperature data from each pixel (16 bit), allwowing for subsequent temperature evaluation.
  2. Non-linear viewer image with additional temperature information provided by:
    - up to three user-defined rectangular ROIs (Regions of Interest)
    - up to 8 isotherms, allowing different colors to be overlaid on a grayscale viewer image. In the example image below, all object temperatures above a certain threshold appear red, while those below another threshold appear blue.
  3. Both modes are available together: a non-linear viewer image and a parallel output of temperature linear data.

Thermal imaging camera: Different interfaces for distinct requirements

EVIDIR alpha infrared camera (LWIR) modules are perfect for stationary and mobile applications. Thanks to their small size, low weight and low power consumption, EVIDIR alpha infrared camera modules can be easily integrated into all types of vehicles as well as portable, hand-held or highly mobile devices.

Development support

To test and verify the outstanding quality of our modules, we support our customers in the development process with USB samples and an extremely competent team of developers and application engineers. We offer various OEM interfaces (parallel CMOS, MiPi-CSI-2 or CameraLink) as well as customized solutions for our infrared cores.

Adaptation to customer needs

If no standard configuration meets your needs, the platform approach allows for easy customization to meet specific customer needs. Talk to us, and we will find a solution for your needs.

Use right after purchase

Thermal imaging cameras with a GigE interface work according to the GigE-Vision protocol and are GeniCam compatible. They can therefore be operated with standard GigE-Vision software tools.
For demanding thermographic applications, we offer comprehensive thermography software from a global partner with an excellent reputation. The software developed by this partner with an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) has proven itself over the years.

If the camera is to be operated with its own software, we support our customers with a software development kit (SDK) for direct integration of the camera into the customer system.

Use over long distances

In contrast to USB, it is easier to connect the camera with a GigE interface to control devices such as a PC or tablet over long distances. This gives the user great flexibility in the measurement location and the evaluation location.
