i-PRO MX-O-SMA-TS-R079 Thermal Sensor Module for S16 (45 Degree FOV)
The MX-O-SMA-TS-R079 is a thermal sensor module for the MOBOTIX S16 multi-sensor camera platform, configured with a 45-degree field of view. Sensor modules let the S16 carry a mix of visible-light and thermal sensors in a single integrated camera body — the right thermal lens for the application drops in alongside the visible-light modules without re-running cable or replacing the camera body.
Key Features
- Thermal sensor module for the MOBOTIX S16 platform
- 45-degree horizontal field of view, suited to medium-range perimeter monitoring
- Integrates with the S16's multi-sensor camera architecture
- VOx microbolometer thermal sensor for low-light and visually-obscured detection
- Single-mate sensor housing with weather-sealed connector
- Direct field swap without cable or camera-body changes
- Compatible with MOBOTIX MxManagementCenter and ONVIF-conformant VMS clients
Multi-sensor cameras shine when the application benefits from mixing imaging modes. A typical S16 install pairs a wide-angle visible-light module for situational awareness with a thermal module for detection in low-light or visually-obscured conditions. The 45-degree FOV is a workhorse choice for medium-range perimeter monitoring — narrow enough to give meaningful detail at distance, wide enough to cover a useful area without a second sensor.
Choose the thermal lens FOV based on the actual detection range and target type. For long-range vehicle/human detection, narrower FOVs give better detail; for short-range perimeter or yard monitoring, wider FOVs trade detail for coverage. The S16 platform supports a mix of FOVs on the same camera body, so a typical install has a thermal module for triggering and a visible module for verification. Configure motion analytics on the thermal channel where lighting variability would constantly false-trigger a visible camera.
