Product Description
The Thermal-45 ESP32-S3 IR Imaging Camera Module is a compact wireless thermal camera designed around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 dual-core processor. Equipped with an 80×62 hybrid IR sensor (microbolometer + thermopile), this module captures infrared radiation from objects in view and converts it into thermal temperature data and real-time thermal images.
This version features a 45-degree FOV (Field of View), offering a narrower, more focused imaging area ideal for long-distance thermal detection, equipment monitoring, industrial diagnostics, and embedded thermal sensing applications.
It includes onboard Li-ion battery charging circuitry, Type-C connectivity, RGB status LED, and rich expansion interfaces, making it ideal for developers, hobbyists, and embedded system designers.
