Our Review

The AMG8833 8x8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Sensor Module for Temperature Detection, Black delivers solid performance for its category. With Resolution: 8x8 (64 pixels), Temperature Range: -20°C to 100°C, Accuracy: +/- 1.5°C, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.

Image quality was sharp at the center with some softness at edges. 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.

Overall, the AMG8833 8x8 Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Sensor Module for Temperature Detection, Black fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.

What We Like

  • Low power draw suitable for battery-powered monitoring
  • Compact module integrates easily into custom enclosures
  • Compatible with OpenCV for image processing on SBCs
  • Well-documented driver support for Linux and RTOS

Watch Out For

  • Auto-exposure can lag in rapidly changing lighting
  • No onboard image processing — all load on host MCU/SBC
  • Focus distance fixed on many budget modules
