256 Dual-Spectrum AI Network Camera – Visible Light + Thermal Imaging with Temperature Measurement and 1Tops NPU

Description

High-performance dual-spectrum IP camera combining 1920×1080 visible light and 256×192 thermal imaging. Features full-array temperature data output, ±2°C accuracy, open Linux SDK, H.265 encoding, ONVIF/GB/T28181 support, optional 4G/WiFi/GPS, and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C). Ideal for security, fire prevention, industrial monitoring, and IoT applications.

Overview

The 256 Dual-Spectrum Network Camera is an advanced, network-enabled surveillance and monitoring device that integrates high-resolution visible light imaging with uncooled thermal infrared detection in a single compact unit. It delivers simultaneous 1920×1080@25fps visible video and 256×192@25fps thermal video, enabling true day/night operation, enhanced situational awareness in low-light or no-light conditions, and precise temperature measurement across the entire field of view.

Powered by the Rockchip RV1106G3 processor (ARM Cortex-A7 @1.2GHz) with an integrated 1Tops neural network acceleration engine (NPU), this camera supports efficient AI processing, video encoding (H.264/H.265), and real-time temperature analysis. It outputs comprehensive array temperature data, making it suitable for applications requiring both visual identification and thermal anomaly detection.

Key advantages include an open Linux-based SDK with full documentation for custom algorithm integration and rapid product deployment, multiple optional connectivity options (WiFi, 4G, GPS/Beidou), robust environmental tolerance (-40°C to 70°C), and low power consumption (<5W with IR on). This makes the camera highly adaptable for professional security, industrial IoT, fire/forest monitoring, warehouse protection, drone payloads, and entry/exit temperature screening scenarios.
