VarioCAM® HD head 800
The worldwide unique infrared camera VarioCAM® HD head 800 with its latest detector technology in XGA format defines the premium segment of uncooled industrial cameras.
Image format: (1,024 × 768) IR pixel
Recording and storage of IR frames rates with up to 240 Hz
GigE- and process interface
Rugged light metal housing IP67*
Efficient measurement of smallest structures on large-scale objects
Precise detection of smallest temperature differences
Analysis of high-speed dynamic temperature changes and processes
Easy and inexpensive installation in harsh process environments
Camera control and output of control signals for external devices
Unrestricted Operation of the Infrared Camera in Harsh Industrial Environments
The robust light metal housing (protection degree IP67*) provides reliable protection for the high sensitive optronics of the device. In addition, it guarantees trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial environments and keeps constant the excellent optical and metrological performance parameters of the device over a long service life. In this way a long-term and trouble-free operation of the VarioCAM® HD head is guaranteed. The usage of a high-quality LEMO connector technology ensures a high protection degree of the infrared camera even for computer-based network operations. For applications in extreme ambient conditions there are suitable protective housings available, for example made of stainless steel. These are optionally equipped with a cooling, heating or both.
Permanent Autofocus for Optimal Focusing
Constantly changing object scenes require manual or automatic refocusing activated by the user. The integrated permanent autofocus function facilitates this work. In case there is a scene change the camera automatically adopts fast and precise the optimal focusing.
Storage of Fast Infrared Sequences with up to 240 Hz
In case of sudden temperature changes, the infrared camera VarioCAM® High Definition provides a sub-frame modus (“subwindowing”) that is usually only found in cooled infrared cameras. The VarioCAM® HD series allows recording of infrared sequences with frame rates up to 240 Hz. In order to reach such high frame rates, each time a defined section of the detector is being read.
The following frame rates are available:
Full-frame with(1,024 × 768) IR pixels: 30 Hz
Sub-frame with (640 × 480) IR pixels: 60 Hz
Sub-frame with (320 × 240) IR pixels: 120 Hz
Sub-frame with (1,024 × 96) IR pixels: 240 Hz
Infrared Camera VarioCAM® High Definition
High-precision Calibration of Infrared Cameras Enables for High Accuracy of Measurements
The infrared camera VarioCAM® High Definition is calibrated using special algorithms. The specially developed calibration algorithm, with more than just a few calibration curves, is used for compensation of temperature fluctuations. Therefore, highest measuring accuracy and repeatability even at changing environmental temperatures is ensured. The exceptional high measuring accuracy can be reached across a wide temperature range.
Detection of Minor Defects through High Thermal Resolution
The thermal resolution describes the process to dissolve slightest temperature differences and thus, can display this measurement value. The infrared cameras of the VarioCAM® HD series have a high thermal resolution of up to 0.02 K that helps to display even slightest temperature differences with accuracy. In combination with the high-performance lenses this helps to detect critical faults at an early stage and display these in excellent quality.
Comprehensive Range of Precision Interchangeable Lenses Enables for a Wide Range of Applications
Due to the comprehensive range of lenses for infrared cameras, a wide range of measurement objects is available, starting with micro thermography to telephoto lens applications for objects in a large distance. The optics of the VarioCAM® HD series were designed as uncompromising full lenses with an opening number of 1.0, highest transmission and transmission quality as well as low distortion.
Automatic Functions of the Infrared Camera
The numerous automatic functions, such as autofocus, automatic image optimisation, automatic hotspot display, automatic calibration range switch etc. enable a fast and effective operation.

Each measurement or testing task has its own characteristic basic conditions. For getting optimal results camera, detector and lens have to be perfectly matched to one another. The field of view calculator helps you to determine the appropriate combination.
Catching the Fire – Aerial Fire Mapping in New Zealand
Wildfires are a permanent threat for several regions around the world. One approach to tackle them is the usage of airborne fire mapping. It offers a unique elevated perspective on remote fires to those who have to organise firefighting ground activities. For this, our partner Highland Helicopters uses the LWIR thermal imaging camera VarioCAM® HD 800 head from InfraTec, integrated into a GIMBAL system outside the helicopter.

Fast and Detailed Analysis Using the Integrated IRBIS® 3 Software Package
The efficiency of an infrared camera significantly depends on its data analysis software. As a standard, the thermography software package IRBIS® 3 is included in each camera delivery. This software gives a fast, precise and detailed evaluation of obtained thermograms and sequences. With this, and the copy & paste function in all WINDOWS programmes a good basis is provided for comprehensive development work.
