Overview

Overview

The NODE series is a drop-in network thermal core for PTZ domes, bullet cameras, UAV pods and shipboard systems — anywhere a standard IP-camera toolchain is already in place. The NODE-640 pairs a 640×512/12μm VOx uncooled detector (<35 mK NETD, 50 Hz) with a full TCP/IP stack over RJ45 100M Ethernet: triple-codec H.265/H.264/MJPEG streaming, ONVIF, SDK and ISAPI access for VMS and third-party platform integration. Motorized-lens drive (one-key/timed autofocus under 5 s, zoom), RS-485 PELCO-D pan-tilt control with 255 presets, RS-232 passthrough, CVBS analog output and hardware alarm I/O cover the whole surveillance integration surface, while gray-scale detection with sub-0.2 s alarm response and temperature-assist measurement add radiometric capability. Dual system backup protects configuration against power failure.
