FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera – Choice of Lens

The FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera – Choice of Lens is available in three models each with a different size lens and subsequently a different field of view (FOV). For further information regarding these models, please see the table below.

*Please note 30Hz versions of these cameras are available here.

For a quick introduction to these cameras, please see the video below.

The FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera has been optimised for use with small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), such as drones. It is able to function as a thermal camera, thermal measurement instrument and data recorder, making it ideal for the following applications:

• Search and rescue
• Precision agriculture
• Roof inspections
• Powerline inspections
• Substation inspections
• Cell tower inspections
• Security
• Surveying
• Mapping

It is also particularly well suited to helping teams make informed decisions based upon thermal data, images and footage gathered by the FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera and compatible, small UAVs.

The FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera features a resolution of 640 x 512 and is able to capture 14-bit still images and 8-bit digital footage in MJPEG and H.264 file formats. The camera will save captured media to the onboard, removable micro-SD card, ensuring that this data is retained should the camera suffer a transmission failure. Media can be viewed on and downloaded to a PC via plugging the micro-SD card or FLIR camera into a computer.

The FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera also includes a number of integrated features and components which work to improve the ease with which the camera can be operated. For instance, it includes a power-in/ video-out 10-pin mini-USB which enables easy integration and provides access to analogue video for downlinking.

The FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera also includes a built-in, low-power Bluetooth module which allows the user to configure the camera before take-off using FLIR’s custom iOS and Android apps. Using these apps the operator can select his/her desired colour palette, set the image adjustment features and tailor the PWM inputs according to his/her requirements, as well as initiate recording.

When using PWM commands the user is able to operate up to four camera controls. However, when the camera is used with the MAVLink feature, the user can operate two camera controls. Furthermore, when used with the MAVLink feature and operated via MAVLink commands (using a radio controller), the user is able to select colour palettes, start and stop recording and activate the e-zoom feature whilst the camera is airborne.

As indicated above, the FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera can be used for mapping, surveying and precision agriculture applications. The MAVLink function facilitates this, as when the FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera is connected to the MAVLink system (or any other compatible flight control system) it will include the aircraft’s geolocation and flight data with each captured image; this adds to the ease of image-stitching. Further to this, the FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera is compatible with Pix4Dmapper software which is designed to develop maps from aerial images captured by drones.  

This cost-effective, versatile camera features field-upgradability which ensures that it always equipped with the latest features. Therefore the  FLIR Vue Pro 640 9Hz Thermal Imaging Camera is ideal for a multitude of applications ranging from search and rescue to mapping.
