The Waveshare Long-Wave IR Thermal Imaging Camera Module, Raspberry Pi IR Camera, 80×62 Pixels (T40pin GPIO, Wide Angle) is an advanced thermal imaging device that utilizes a hybrid technology combining microbolometer and thermopile pixels. This module features an 80×62 pixel array, capable of detecting infrared distribution within its field of view. It processes this data to calculate the surface temperature of objects, subsequently generating thermal images. This makes it suitable for integration into various industrial and intelligent control applications.

This particular version is designed with a wide-angle field of view of 90°, making it ideal for applications requiring broader coverage. The camera module is equipped with a 40PIN GPIO header, ensuring compatibility with Raspberry Pi boards. Its shutterless design allows for continuous operation and the output of thermal imaging video streams at a maximum refresh rate of 25 frames per second.

The camera module is particularly useful for high-precision, long-term, non-contact temperature monitoring. It finds applications in infrared thermal imaging devices, smart home systems, intelligent building management, and industrial temperature control. Additionally, it can be employed in security and safety systems for intrusion and motion detection, as well as in small target thermal analysis and heat trend analysis.

Note: Ensure proper handling and installation to avoid damage or malfunction.
