FLIR TG165-X

€€

80 × 60 native thermal sensor, NETD 70 mK, 8.7 Hz.

    4 800 points measured
    Number of the sensor's measurement points, shown to the catalog's scale. The largest sensor in the database has 327 680 points.
    Published by the manufacturer

    Anomaly in the manufacturer's datasheet. FLIR publishes a field of view of 51° × 66°, i.e. a vertical field WIDER than the horizontal one, on an 80 × 60 sensor that is nonetheless in landscape format. This is geometrically inconsistent. Several retailers instead list 50° × 38.6°, which are the values for the older TG165. Value used here: the manufacturer's datasheet, with this caveat noted.

    Observations

    • Advertised distance-to-spot ratio of 24:1.
    • 17 µm pixel pitch, versus 12 µm on all the more recent devices in this comparison: this is an older sensor generation.
    • 8.7 Hz frame rate, just under the 9 Hz export-control threshold.
    • Only 4,800 pixels. This is the smallest sensor in the comparison, sixteen times fewer measurement points than a HIKMICRO G40.
