World’s Smallest IR Imager 0

Feb6

Boston MA USA — FLIR System’s A10 is the world’s smallest thermal camera — yet it delivers performance and features typically found only on larger, much more expensive infrared systems. Measuring a mere 1.35″W x 1.45″H x 1.90″D (without lens) and weighing in at < 120 g, depending upon lens choice, this unique, robust little camera is perfect for stand-alone imaging applications, or as an OEM core where space, weight, and/or power are constraints and performance is critical.

The tiny A10 sets new standards for ease of integration, and offers the benefits of versatility of placement, low power consumption,low heat load, and long battery life.

It is ideal for fire-fighting, security and surveillance, search and rescue, industrial process monitoring,machine vision, building inspection,unmanned vehicles, robotics, and military applications.
