​HW2 Series Uncooled Infrared Module

The HW2 Series Uncooled Infrared Modules provide high-performance thermal imaging across three resolutions: 640×512, 384×288, and 256×192.
They utilize proprietary 12μm WLP (Wafer-Level Packaging) detectors, featuring high refresh rates and a 2nd-generation in-house infrared ISP chip.
Engineered for superior SWaP optimization (Size, Weight, Power/Price), these compact modules offer exceptional thermal sensitivity, ultra-low power consumption, and cost efficiency.
Equipped with stutter-free algorithms and next-gen IR-specific image processing, they deliver smooth, artifact-free visuals with remarkable clarity and detail.
Flexible digital interfaces enable seamless plug-and-play integration with various intelligent platforms, suitable for drones, industrial systems, and security applications.
