Q3 Series Multifunctional Thermal Imaging Module
The Q3-U Series features an uncooled vanadium oxide (VOx) focal plane array detector with an 8–14 μm spectral response range, a 12 μm pixel pitch, and a 384 × 288 detector resolution.
With an NETD of ≤25 mK and a 50 Hz frame rate, the Q3-U Series delivers smooth thermal imaging with high thermal sensitivity and clear target details. It features a USB interface with UVC video output, allowing convenient connection to compatible host devices. The module supports 1× to 8× digital zoom, multiple color palettes—including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, and Iron Red—as well as adjustable image enhancement, brightness, and contrast.
The module is powered through a 5 V USB input and has a power consumption of ≤0.8 W. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from −20°C to +60°C and offers shock resistance of up to 80 g at 4 ms. USB-based shutter calibration, non-uniformity correction, and secondary development are also supported.
Available with either a 4 mm or 9 mm lens, the Q3-U Series provides flexible options for different observation requirements. The 4 mm model offers a wide 59.9° × 46.7° field of view and a detection range of up to 400 m, while the 9 mm model provides a narrower 28.7° × 21.7° field of view and a detection range of up to 900 m.
Measuring only 21 × 21 × 29.5 mm and weighing approximately 21 g, the Q3-U Series features a compact and lightweight design for easy integration into handheld thermal devices, inspection systems, smart terminals, security equipment, and other USB-based thermal imaging applications.
