Yes. With UART communication (TTL, baud rate 115200), multiple video interfaces, crosshairs, hotspot tracking, and image setting functions, the KT Series uncooled thermal imaging module is highly suitable for secondary development and customized system integration.
Rated power is ≤1.2 W, and the module accepts a wide supply voltage of 5–28 VDC. This combination of low power and wide voltage range enhances compatibility with various battery-powered and airborne systems.
The KT Series features a highly compact design measuring just 20×20×33 mm (excluding lens) and weighing only 35 g. This small form factor is one of its key independent advantages for space-constrained platforms such as drones and portable thermal cameras.
The KT Series provides flexible multiple interface options including CVBS, USB 2.0, BT.656, LVDS, and SDI. This wide range of analog and digital outputs makes it easy to integrate into different UAV, security, and outdoor thermal systems.
With its ultra-compact size of only 20×20×33 mm, low weight of 35 g, power consumption ≤1.2 W, and multiple video interface options (CVBS, USB 2.0, BT.656, LVDS, SDI), the KT Series thermal module is one of the best choices for drone and UAV electro-optical/infrared gimbal integration.
The KT Series compact uncooled thermal imaging core module is specially designed for small form factor applications. It is widely used in UAV EO/IR gimbals, security surveillance system integration, outdoor thermal camera systems, and custom secondary development projects that require a lightweight and space-saving thermal core.
