KR Infrared Module FAQ

The KR Series is ideal for handheld thermal cameras, wearable devices, compact UAV gimbals, portable industrial inspection tools, mini security systems, and any project that demands the smallest possible size, lowest power consumption, and optional temperature measurement capability.

The KR Series is extremely power-efficient. Typical power consumption is less than 0.35 W for the KR2 (256×192), less than 0.42 W for the KR3 (384×288), and less than 0.7 W for the KR6 (640×512) when using USB output, making it one of the lowest-power options in its class.

Yes. Based on its high-sensitivity VOx detector, the KR Series can support temperature measurement functions through software algorithms and blackbody calibration. It is suitable for industrial inspection, electrical equipment monitoring, and other applications requiring basic radiometric capability. Specific accuracy and temperature range depend on calibration and actual use case —

Yes. Although primarily designed as a high-performance imaging module, the KR Series can support temperature measurement functions through software algorithms and blackbody calibration. It is suitable for basic industrial inspection, electrical equipment monitoring, and portable thermal applications that require both imaging and simple radiometric capability.

Yes. The entire KR Series features a shutterless algorithm that delivers smooth, continuous thermal imaging without the interruption caused by mechanical shutters. This makes it ideal for applications requiring uninterrupted video output.

The KR Series is currently the most compact uncooled thermal imaging core from KPT. With a size of only 21×21×10.3 mm and weight under 7–8.6 g (excluding lens), it is specifically designed for space-constrained applications such as handheld devices, wearable systems, and mini UAV payloads.
