Our Review

For $64.90 CAD, the AMG8833 Thermal Imaging Camera Module IR Infrared Thermal Imager Handheld Array Temperature Measurement Sensor packs respectable specs: Sensor: IMX219 8MP, Resolution: 640x480, Interface: DVP parallel. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.

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.

The AMG8833 Thermal Imaging Camera Module IR Infrared Thermal Imager Handheld Array Temperature Measurement Sensor 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

  • Wide-angle lens option covers more of the scene
  • Well-documented driver support for Linux and RTOS
  • Compact module integrates easily into custom enclosures

Watch Out For

  • Rolling shutter causes artifacts with fast-moving subjects
  • Auto-exposure can lag in rapidly changing lighting
  • Focus distance fixed on many budget modules
