8724 Seek Thermal has launched its thermal imaging camera for the automotive aftermarket which is designed with the intention of enhancing driver awareness and increasing overall road safety.

The sensor, inside hermetically sealed housing, alerts the driver to potential hazards such as people and nearby vehicles. It uses 12 VDC input power and standard NTSC video output for compatibility with most displays.

This 320 x 240 high-resolution sensor comes with 76,800 temperature pixels for maximum image clarity and sensitivity as well as a 24-degree field of view, dual-element chalcogenide lens, optimised for identifying potential hazards. In addition, it features an IP-69 rated housing with integrated window heater to withstand harsh weather conditions.
