Phynan Vision FT046 is a compact thermal camera with AI box suitable for integration into smaller drones with analog image transmission. The camera uses an uncooled Vanadium Oxide sensor with a resolution of 640×512 pixels and a lens with a focal length of 9.1mm. It offers a field of view of 66° diagonally. The camera uses the thermal palette "white hot", where warmer areas are white.
The camera is powered by DC voltage in the range of 9–24V. The AI box has connectors for connection. The camera connects via an analog PAL output (CVBS) to a control unit or a standard analog video transmitter.
The camera supports control and configuration via UART, allowing adjustment of contrast, brightness, pseudo colors, shutter mode, or enabling the Hot Tracking function. The manufacturer defines the command structure for advanced integration into control units (see manual). The camera also includes an OSD menu, controlled via an external joystick.
