Infrared Thermal Camera Sensor (AMG8833)

Greetings, we understand you are here because you want to contribute fighting COVID-19 spread in Egypt. Go ahead and make your own thermal camera. 

This infrared camera module is based on AMG8833 sensor from Panasonic. It is an 8×8 array of IR thermal sensors that can be connected to your microcontroller or Arduino and output a photo of 64 infrared temperature readings (64 thermal pixels). 

The infrared thermal camera sensor supports I2C and has a configurable interrupt pin that can be triggered when any single pixel is above or below your set threshold. It can detect humans from a distance of up to 7 meters. It is an excellent choice for creating your own human detector or mini camera. This part will measure temperatures ranging from 0°C to 80°C with reasonable accuracy and frame rate up to 10Hz. 

Please note that this version of the AMG88 infrared array family sensor is the high performance type with a high gain, it is only 3.3V tolerant (don’t try to operate it at 5V).
