Features

Tamarisk® thermal camera cores use DRS Infrared’s highly sensitive, uncooled Vanadium Oxide (VOx) detector that utilizes patented absorber technology to capture infrared energy in the 8 to 14 micrometer long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum. The high-performance Tamarisk is enhanced with market-leading dynamic range, pixel saturation logic, powerful Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE™) and 24-bit RGB color video.

Tamarisk cameras are configurable as either a 17um 320 x 240 or 17um 640 x 480 pixel size and resolution and with a wide variety of lens options.

Product Highlights
  • High Contrast Thermal Imaging
  • 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 pixel resolution
  • 17 µm pixel pitch – excellent image quality w/ smaller weight & size
  • Fixed Athermalized lens options with horizontal FOV from 90° to 3°
  • Proprietary Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE™)
  • Integrated shutter for improved image calibration

Applications

Custom OEM applications

Compact, affordable and easy to integrate, the Tamarisk line is an ideal solution for a wide variety of thermal imaging applications.

Security and surveillance

Regardless of lighting conditions, Tamarisk cameras produce clear imagery during day, night and challenging environmental conditions such as smoke, dust, haze and fog.

Scientific and medical

DRS’ patented microbolometer superstructure, Tamarisk cameras provide greater sensitivity and superior image quality at an affordable price.
