Our Review
After integrating the AMG8833 8x8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Module for Temperature Detection, Compatible with for Arduino and Raspberry Pi into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Sensor: IMX219 8MP, Resolution: 640x480, Interface: DVP parallel.
Image quality was good in well-lit conditions. 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.
For the price point, the AMG8833 8x8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Module for Temperature Detection, Compatible with for Arduino and Raspberry Pi delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where cameras & vision components are essential.
What We Like
- Compatible with OpenCV for image processing on SBCs
- Multiple interface options for different host platforms
- Wide-angle lens option covers more of the scene
- Decent resolution for embedded computer vision tasks
Watch Out For
- Rolling shutter causes artifacts with fast-moving subjects
- Image quality drops noticeably in low light conditions
- Focus distance fixed on many budget modules
