Super-Zoom MWIR Thermal Camera for Detailed Long-Range Observation

The InfraTec ImageIR 8300 Z combines high-sensitivity mid-wave infrared imaging with a powerful integrated 30x zoom system to tackle demanding thermal measurement and observation tasks. 

Featuring a cooled InSb detector with 640 × 512 IR pixels and a 15 µm pixel pitch, paired with a high-performance motorized zoom optic, the ImageIR 8300 Z delivers precise radiometric imagery across varying distances without sacrificing measurement integrity. 

Its flexible field-of-view adjustment makes it ideal for situations where both close-range detail and long-range monitoring are required.

 

Key Features: 

  • High resolution 640 x 512 pixel detector
  • 30x zoom optics with robust motorized zoom mechanism
  • Suitable for 24/7 use, even through fog, smoke, day and night
  • Long distance detection range
