WEOM® Zoom Block Thermal Module

THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA MODULE

WEOM® Zoom Block thermal module is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging camera module with continuous motorized optical zoom, designed and manufactured in Europe. It is ideal for integration into industrial, security, defense, and autonomous systems (UAVs, UGVs, fixed or mobile thermal cameras). The module is fully ITAR-free, making it export-friendly, and offers outstanding performance in a compact form factor weighing less than 760 grams.

Combining a high-sensitivity 640 × 480 px detector, 35–105 mm motorized zoom, and a wide range of interfaces (Ethernet, RS485, ONVIF compatibility), it delivers superior image quality, easy system integration, and flexible use in challenging environments. With a sensitivity below 30 mK and advanced FPGA-based image processing, it ensures sharp, detailed visualization even in extreme temperature conditions. The WEOM® Zoom Block thermal module also includes various interfaces such as Ethernet (with PoE support), RS485 for PTZ control, digital I/O, and full ONVIF compatibility, enabling rapid integration into modern systems without requiring further development or customization.
