Thermal Camera Modules
VEHIR automotive thermal camera modules provide infrared sensing hardware for vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, ADAS developers, smart cockpit integrators and automotive electronics solution providers.
Thermal imaging detects heat contrast rather than relying only on visible light. This gives vehicle systems an additional perception source in darkness, glare, haze, fog and other visually challenging environments. Depending on the selected module and system architecture, thermal data can support driving assistance, nighttime target awareness, in-cabin sensing, safety alerts and multi-sensor fusion.
Our thermal camera modules are designed for customers who need to integrate infrared capability into their own vehicle electronics, display terminals, intelligent driving systems or smart cockpit platforms.

Vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers may use thermal camera modules as part of an intelligent driving, night vision or smart cockpit architecture. The key focus is usually stable data output, interface compatibility, environmental reliability, development support and long-term project supply.
Typical applications include:

ADAS developers and intelligent driving solution providers need thermal data that can complement visible-light sensing in darkness, glare and adverse weather conditions.
For these projects, common considerations include:
Thermal sensing can also support smart cockpit applications where vehicle systems need to detect heat-based information inside the cabin.
Potential use cases include:
For embedded platform developers, the most important question is whether the module can connect reliably to the selected processor, operating system and hardware architecture.
Before selecting a module, developers should confirm:
The TIMO120/256 is designed for projects that prioritize compact dimensions, low weight, low power consumption and cost-conscious thermal integration.
Its DVP interface supports integration with a wide range of embedded platforms, making it relevant for compact vehicle devices, auxiliary sensing terminals and application-specific thermal imaging projects.
Recommended for:
The iSE Thermal Camera Module is designed for higher-performance automotive and embedded thermal imaging projects.
Available versions cover 384 × 288, 640 × 512 and 1280 × 1024 resolution options. The module supports uncooled vanadium oxide infrared detector technology, multiple digital video interfaces, fixed-focus optical options and software development support for Windows and Linux environments.
Key selection considerations include:
The iSE series supports interface options including USB 2.0, DVP, BT656 and LVDS, with expansion possibilities for configurations such as HDMI, GigE, CameraLink and MIPI-based integration. Product specifications should always be confirmed for the selected model and project configuration.
The COIN series is positioned as a thermal camera module range with 384, 640 and 1280 resolution options for vehicle infrared sensing and system integration projects.
It can be considered by customers who need to evaluate thermal imaging performance, module structure, integration method and scalability according to their own product design.

Start with the actual use case. A forward-looking ADAS thermal module, an in-cabin sensing module and a compact aftermarket device may require very different optical, mechanical and software configurations.
Please clarify:
Resolution affects image detail, while field of view affects the visible coverage area. A wide-angle lens may be suitable for near-field awareness and cabin monitoring, while a narrower field of view may be preferred for forward-looking observation.
The correct choice depends on:
The module must be compatible with the target processor, display system, domain controller or embedded platform.
Before requesting a quotation, prepare information about:
Automotive and outdoor vehicle applications require module performance that matches the expected operating environment.
Key considerations include:
A thermal module is only one part of a complete vehicle perception system. Customers should define whether the final solution needs image enhancement, target recognition, warning logic, sensor fusion, display output or cloud/platform connectivity.
VEHIR focuses on the application of far-infrared technology in intelligent vehicles and provides product solutions across driving assistance, smart cockpit and automotive infrared sensing.
Customers can discuss module selection based on:
VEHIR’s product system covers infrared sensing modules as well as complete vehicle thermal imaging solutions, allowing customers to evaluate both component-level and system-level development paths.
An automotive thermal camera module is an infrared sensing component that captures heat-based image data for integration into vehicle systems such as ADAS, night vision, smart cockpit and specialized vehicle safety solutions.
Yes. Thermal imaging modules can provide an additional sensing source for ADAS development, especially in darkness, glare, haze and low-visibility conditions. Final system performance depends on the selected module, optical design, algorithm and vehicle integration.
The right interface depends on the target hardware platform, image-processing requirements and system architecture. Customers should confirm processor compatibility, video format, communication requirements and software environment before selecting a module.
Yes. Thermal sensing can be used in smart cockpit applications such as occupant awareness, lifeform detection, high-temperature object alerts and other cabin-safety functions, depending on the final system design.
VEHIR can discuss module selection based on the target vehicle, application scenario, interface requirement, software environment and project volume.
Please provide the target application, vehicle type, preferred resolution, field of view, interface requirement, operating environment, development platform, expected quantity and project stage.
Tell us your intended application, target vehicle, required resolution, interface, development platform and estimated volume. VEHIR will help you evaluate a suitable thermal camera module and integration direction.
