Teledyne FLIR Lepton UW thermal camera

Teledyne FLIR has launched the Lepton UW, a micro-thermal camera module with an ultra-wide 160-degree field of view (FOV). The new ultra-wide module is suitable for a range of applications including fire detection, process monitoring and people counting.

The thermal camera features a usable 120 x 120 thermal resolution and a scene dynamic range of up to 400°C. Like the entire Lepton family, it also features thermal sensitivity of <50 mK and the same integrated digital thermal image signal processing capabilities.

The ultra-wide FOV also enables smart building system integrators to utilise thermal data within more affordable systems and simplify deployment. Developers can also leverage the Teledyne FLIR Technical Service Team for assistance along with online resources — from source codes to licences — to speed up the development process.

The thermal camera also provides a dataset that is not susceptible to over-counting through glass while also maintaining personal privacy. When combined with building automation software, the Lepton UW can help facility managers optimise and automate energy usage, occupant comfort and workspace management.
