FPV Thermal Camera Pilotix T256 CVBS+USB (4mm)

Product detailed description

FPV Thermal Camera Pilotix T256 CVBS+USB (4mm)

The Pilotix T256 CVBS+USB (4mm) is a compact uncooled thermal imaging camera designed for FPV drones, robotics, industrial inspection, and embedded integration. Built around a high-sensitivity vanadium oxide infrared detector, it delivers reliable thermal vision in low-visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, smoke, or complex terrain.

This module combines analog CVBS output for direct use with traditional FPV systems and USB digital output for connection to onboard computers, recording devices, or advanced image-processing platforms. Such dual-output functionality allows simultaneous real-time piloting and data capture, making the camera suitable for search operations, technical inspections, autonomous systems, and custom UAV projects.

The 4 mm lens provides a balanced viewing angle suitable for both navigation and target observation, offering a practical compromise between scene coverage and detection detail.

Features:
- 256×192 thermal resolution for detailed heat imaging
- High thermal sensitivity with 25mK NETD
- Analog CVBS and USB dual video output
- Compatible with FPV analog transmission systems
- Supports multiple color palettes for thermal display
- Continuous digital zoom from 1.0× to 8.0×
- Image mirroring in multiple orientations
- Compact lightweight design for drone installation
- Suitable for operation in harsh environments
