Dione 1280 CAM Series
Ultra-compact, uncooled thermal imaging core
The Dione 1280 CAM series is based on the Dione 1280 OEM thermal imaging core with 1280 x 1024 pixels and 12 μm pixel pitch. The NETD is less than 40 mK (available upon request) or 50 mK. The maximum frame rate is 60 Hz.
The camera cores are optimized for low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power). The Dione 1280 CAM is both lightweight and small. It utilizes Xenics image enhancement for advanced image processing while keeping power consumption low.
Dione 1280 CAM is a LWIR uncooled thermal imaging SWAP module with housing supporting M34/M45 lens (optional).
The ultra-compact Dione 1280 CAM series find application in safety and security systems, as well as in industrial thermal imaging systems.
Benefits & Features
• State-of-the-art 1280 × 1024 microbolometer detector with 12 μm pitch
• Low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)
• GenICam compliant
• Shutterless and uncooled operation
• Availability of multiple lenses (optional) adds flexibility to integration programs

Lenses
Our cameras are compatible with a wide variety of lenses.
We do not manufacture our own lenses, but instead offer a variety of third-party lenses that can be purchased directly from us. We guarantee compatibility for any lenses purchased directly from Xenics.
Cables & Power Supplies
Cases
Xenics ships its infrared cameras all over the world in high-grade custom cases. As our infrared cameras have different sizes, we have several case-types in stock guaranteeing a tight fit. The cases are made of polypropylene which make them very sturdy. They are dustproof, watertight, stackable and can cope with temperatures between -40 °C and 80 °C. In addition they are equipped with an automatic air pressure compensation valve allowing us to ship the cameras all over the globe.
Most of our infrared cameras come with a standard hardshell case upon purchasing.
