This product is a wireless IR thermal imaging camera based on the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 chip, adopts the hybrid technology of microbolometer and thermopile pixel, features 80x62 array pixels. It will detect the IR distribution of objects in the field of view, turn the data into the surface temperature of the objects by calculation, and then generate thermal images. It integrates a recharge and discharge circuit, with onboard Lithium battery header for flexible power supply.
Key features include:
Meet the needs of different scenarios

Supports TCP communication and WiFi AP /STA preview modes, compatible with Windows systems

Provides an Android APP for easy configuration of module parameters

* The Bluetooth APP is only used for configuring parameters such as the module's IP and device name. It does not support viewing thermal images.
Onboard 3.7V MX1.25 lithium battery recharge / discharge header for flexible power supply

* Note: the Lithium battery is NOT included.
Modular design, compact in size yet fully functional

Comprehensive SDK, dev resources, and tutorials to help you easily get started
