Our Review
The AMG8833 Thermal Imager Sensors Module Camera Sensors Detector 8x8 Camera Module Array Board for Electronic Real Time Imaging delivers solid performance for its category. With Sensor: IMX219 8MP, Resolution: 640x480, Interface: CSI-2 (MIPI), 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 Thermal Imager Sensors Module Camera Sensors Detector 8x8 Camera Module Array Board for Electronic Real Time Imaging 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.
What We Like
- Multiple interface options for different host platforms
- Well-documented driver support for Linux and RTOS
- Low power draw suitable for battery-powered monitoring
- Wide-angle lens option covers more of the scene
Watch Out For
- Focus distance fixed on many budget modules
- No onboard image processing — all load on host MCU/SBC
- Auto-exposure can lag in rapidly changing lighting
