New thermal imaging cameras for observation, targeting and as attachment
VECTED, specialist for thermal imaging technology, introduces a new camera generation in 2022
VECTED introduces two new high-performance thermal imagers, the 640-50 and 640-60. They come with a sensor resolution of 640x480 pixels and 50mm respectively 60mm focal lengths. The devices are suitable both as observation devices as well as attachments in front of a riflescope or as target devices for mounting on a weapon alone.
The 640-60 from VECTED as attachment or target device
Operating in the 8 to 14 µm (LWIR) range, the devices have fields of view of 8.8° x 6.6° / d 11.0° (50s) and 7.3° x 5.5° / d 9.1° (60s), which are projected onto a 640x480 respectively 1280x960 pixel display. With a sensor NETD of less than 40 milli-Kelvin, the uncooled, compact devices, weighing less than 600g, are highly sensitive and can detect people at distances of up to three kilometers. Of course, both devices have state-of-the-art features such as an USB-C interface for charging or outputting live video to an external monitor, can take photos and videos and store them internally, and optionally communicate via Bluetooth or Wifi.
Development and production in Germany
The 640-60 from VECTED as attachment or target device
VECTED develops and manufactures the thermal imaging devices at the company’s headquarters in Fürth, Germany. Due to the outstanding image quality users can detect potential targets much earlier and identify them reliably. The devices are explicitly designed and developed in such a way that customer-specific reticles, menu scope, menu sequence, key assignment of the quick access keys or special false color displays can be implemented without additional expense. Thus, the 640 devices from VECTED represent currently one of the most powerful devices in this class worldwide.
