Cooled Thermal Camera Module (MWIR)
Our cooled MWIR camera modules combine a premium detector with an integrated cryogenic cooler to minimize noise and deliver high-contrast, long-range infrared imaging in demanding environments. The sensor features an MTTF of 8,000+ hours, ensuring dependable, mission-ready operation. An in-house FPGA video board provides low-latency processing, multi-interface outputs, and advanced image enhancement, while OBSETECH-designed MWIR optics (folded, dual-FOV, triple-FOV and continuous zoom) maximize MTF, boresight stability, and overall image quality. Depending on the application requirements and zoom range complexity, we integrate up to eight optical elements within the design to suppress the Narcissus effect (often observed as a cold reflection ring).
We deliver top-tier MWIR solutions with integration and debugging know-how dating back to 2017.
Key Features:
High sensitivity (NETD: ≤20mK) for detecting minimal temperature deltas
Resolutions: VGA+ 640×512 and SXGA 1280×1024 optional
Excelent Image quality: with automatic bad pixel correction
Interfaces: Analogue (PAL, NTSC, CCIR, CVBS) + Digital (SDI, CameraLink, Ethernet(H.264), GigE etc.). Comunication protocol (RS-422)
Reliability: premium MCT with MTTF ≥ 8,000 h; rugged, integration-ready design
Optics: inhouse production with highest quality and custom designs, AR or DLC coated. Advanced eight-element optical design eliminates cold reflection ring (Narcissus effect).
Most affordable price and short delivery times
Applications:
Defense, FCS, Border surveillance, UAV detection, Aerospace, Maritime, Perimeter protection and Scientific research.

We can also provide full custom design and manufacturing of both VGA+ (640×512) and SXGA (1280×1024) cooled detectors. Our zoom optics are engineered for precision, boresight stability, and long-term reliability. We also produce folded lenses, dual-FOV & triple-FOV lenses and we can tailor coatings, interfaces, and integration features to any platform or mission profile.
