Meet Ernest 6, member of the SeeCube thermal camera core family
Introducing the Ernest 6, a standout in Senssight’s SeeCube family, engineered to set a new standard in VGA thermal infrared camera cores. Featuring a 640×480 pixel array with a 12 μm pixel pitch and exceptional thermal sensitivity of 35 mK, it delivers precise imaging in an industry-leading 21 x 21 mm form factor. Equipped with a 60 Hz frame rate, a range of lens options offering 15° to 90° HFOV, and radiometric capabilities covering -10°C to 120°C, the Ernest 6 excels in demanding applications. Its low-power USB interface, optional shutterless calibration, and robust -35°C to 75°C operating range make it an ideal solution for industrial systems, night vision equipment, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Compact yet powerful, the Ernest 6 is designed for professionals who require reliability and performance without compromise.
The Ernest 6 LWIR thermal camera offers three operational modes in a single, streamlined package. Its built-in mechanical shutter ensures precise shuttered performance, while a factory calibration enables exceptional image quality in shutterless mode, thus adapting effortlessly to diverse conditions. Additionally, pixel-level radiometric calibration enables accurate temperature measurements from -10ºC to +120ºC. The Ernest 6 combine cutting-edge technology with a remarkably efficient design, setting a new standard in thermal imaging excellence.
