Product overview
The Xingkai XK-C131 is a camera module for integration into drones, aircraft and RC vehicles. Its physical architecture combines an uncooled vanadium oxide infrared focal plane detector with an adjustable-focus 9.1mm lens. The compact housing measures 21 × 21mm and weighs 22g, providing a small component for installation on an aircraft. A supplied lens cover protects the optics against dust and dirt. Thermal imaging supports viewing in low light or total darkness.
The camera supplies PAL analog video through CVBS, with a 384×288 detector resolution and 50Hz frame rate. Its white-hot image palette is accompanied by automatic shutter correction and support for manual and background correction. Integration requires a 4.5-18V supply, with power consumption specified as 1000mw. Operating temperature spans -40°C to +80°C. Detection distances are 1100m for people and 2574m for vehicles; recognition distances are shorter, at 300m and 630m respectively.
