The XTM2640T delivers 640×512 LWIR imaging with 2270 m person detection as a bare OEM module, enabling custom housing integration for hardened border sites, vehicle-mounted platforms, and fixed perimeter surveillance systems.
A structural shift is underway in how ground surveillance and border security system integrators procure thermal sensor capability. Rather than purchasing complete thermal camera systems and adapting them to installation-specific mechanical and interface requirements, integrators working on hardened fixed sites, vehicle-mounted platforms, and custom observation post enclosures are increasingly specifying bare thermal modules that can be integrated into programme-specific housings designed around the exact environmental and mechanical constraints of the deployment. This shift toward modular thermal procurement mirrors the pattern already established in the electro-optical sensor market and is being driven by the same integration flexibility requirement.
Professional 640 × 512 Thermal Module for OEM Integration
The XTM2640T serves that OEM integration model as a professional-grade bare thermal camera module with a 640 × 512 LWIR uncooled sensor and 25 mm lens, providing the same optical performance as the XTC2640T complete camera system in a module format that allows integrators to design the host housing, environmental sealing, and interface architecture independently. Person detection reaches 2270 m and vehicle detection extends to 6500 m, consistent with the detection geometry required for medium-to-long-range fixed perimeter and border surveillance applications. NETD at ≤ 50 mK preserves reliable thermal contrast in low-differential environments, ensuring detection performance is maintained during the marginal thermal conditions of dawn and dusk when background and target temperatures approach equilibrium.
Hardened Site and Vehicle-Mount Integration Applications
Hardened observation post installations at border crossing points and critical infrastructure perimeters frequently require sensor enclosures that meet specific ballistic protection, environmental ingress, or blast overpressure ratings that standard thermal camera housings cannot satisfy without custom modification. The XTM2640T bare module format allows enclosure designers to develop housings that meet these site-specific protection requirements while housing the same 640 × 512 optical core that defines the detection performance of the overall surveillance system. Vehicle-mounted surveillance platforms on armoured patrol vehicles face similar constraints, where sensor mounts must conform to vehicle turret geometry and armour integration requirements that preclude the use of standard camera housings without structural modification to the vehicle.
Standardised Thermal Core Across Multi-Site Programmes
Programme offices deploying surveillance systems across multiple sites with varying environmental and mechanical installation requirements benefit from standardising on a single thermal module core that can be housed differently at each site type while providing consistent optical performance across the programme. The XTM2640T provides that standardisation point for programmes in the 2000 m-class person detection band, allowing procurement of a single thermal module specification that integrators can house and interface according to each site-specific installation requirement without re-qualifying the thermal core for each deployment variant. As modular thermal sensor procurement continues to displace complete camera system purchasing across professional surveillance integration programmes, the XTM2640T is positioned as the 640-class module reference for ground-based long-range detection applications.
