Our Review
The AMG8833 8×8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Module for Industrial Sensing and Electronic Inspection — USB-Powered, 64-Pixel for IR Array, ±2.5°C Accuracy, 60° FOV, I²C delivers solid performance for its category. With Resolution: 1280x720 (720P), Sensor: 1/9" CMOS, Cable Length: 1m semi-rigid, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Image quality was adequate for embedded vision tasks. The thermal resolution is sufficient for detecting hot spots and heat patterns, though individual temperature readings should be treated as relative rather than laboratory-grade.
Integration with the host platform was straightforward. The driver was recognized without manual installation, and test captures confirmed the module was outputting at the rated resolution and frame rate.
The AMG8833 8×8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Module for Industrial Sensing and Electronic Inspection — USB-Powered, 64-Pixel for IR Array, ±2.5°C Accuracy, 60° FOV, I²C earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
