B960B1 Infrared Camera Module

The B960B1 is a compact, high‑resolution thermal imaging module built for quick‑to‑integrate embedded applications. It outputs a detailed 960 × 768 infrared image at a fixed 50 Hz frame rate through a standard UVC interface, requiring no drivers on most operating systems. A fast F1.0, 9.1 mm lens provides a wide 48.3° × 38.6° field of view, while a separate, tiny Al Box handles all control and video output. Wide‑voltage power input, low energy consumption, and an extensive set of software‑adjustable imaging functions make the B960B1 a practical thermal core for portable devices, security equipment, and industrial monitoring systems.

Key Features of B960B1 Infrared Camera Module

✓ 960 × 768 High‑Resolution Thermal Output

The module delivers a 960 × 768 thermal video stream, providing clear and detailed infrared images that help identify targets and temperature patterns precisely.

✓ 50 Hz Real‑Time Frame Rate

A fast 50 frames‑per‑second output ensures smooth, real‑time thermal video. This is especially useful when monitoring moving objects or scenes that change quickly.

✓ F1.0 Large‑Aperture Lens with 9.1 mm Focal Length

The 9.1 mm, F1.0 fixed‑focus lens gathers abundant infrared energy and gives a 48.3° (H) × 38.6° (V) field of view, balancing scene coverage with detail.

✓ UVC Plug‑and‑Play Interface

Video and control data travel over the standard USB Video Class protocol. You can use the module right out of the box with Windows, Linux, macOS, or Android hosts, with no custom drivers or software SDKs needed.

✓ Flexible On‑Board Image Controls

Brightness and contrast are independently adjustable from 0 to 100. Five color palettes (Palette 0–4) are available, and you can apply a 1.0× to 4.0× stepless digital zoom. Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal image mirroring are all supported. All settings are accessible through UVC commands or ADKEY button events.

✓ Split‑Body Ultra‑Compact Design

The camera head measures only 22 × 22 × 28.43 mm, and the Al Box (interface and processing unit) is just 33.5 × 33.5 × 16.5 mm. This two‑piece layout makes it easy to fit the module into tightly packed OEM devices and enclosures.

✓ Wide Voltage Range and Very Low Power

The B960B1 operates from any DC supply between 5 V and 24 V. Typical power consumption stays below 1.5 W, which is ideal for battery‑powered, portable, or always‑on thermal systems.

✓ Reliable Operation Across Environments

The module is specified for continuous operation from −20 °C to 50 °C. It can be integrated into systems deployed both indoors and outdoors as long as basic protection against moisture and dust is provided.

The B960B1 Infrared Camera Module combines 960 × 768 high‑resolution thermal imaging, 50 Hz real‑time video, a bright F1.0 lens, and full UVC plug‑and‑play connectivity in a compact, low‑power package. With rich built‑in image controls and a wide power input range, it is a versatile thermal camera core for portable instruments, surveillance systems, and industrial monitoring solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About B960B1 Infrared HD Thermal Imaging Camera Core

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What operating systems are compatible with this module?

A: Because the module uses the UVC (USB Video Class) protocol, it works without drivers on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. As long as the host supports UVC, the camera will appear as a standard video device.

Q: What power supply do I need?

A: The module can be powered by any DC source between 5 V and 24 V. The typical current draw is very low, so even a battery pack within that voltage range will work.

Q: How do I change the color palettes?

A: You can switch between the five available palettes through UVC commands (for example, using a camera control application on your host) or by using ADKEY button events. The same interfaces let you adjust brightness, contrast, and digital zoom.

Q: Can I flip or mirror the image?

A: Yes. The module supports horizontal, vertical, and diagonal mirroring. This is useful when the camera is mounted upside down or in a mirror‑based optics setup.

Q: What is the frame rate? Can it be changed?

A: The frame rate is fixed at 50 Hz (50 frames per second). There is no option to change it on this model.

Q: Is the digital zoom available during live video?

A: Yes. You can apply a stepless zoom from 1.0× to 4.0× through the UVC interface, and the zoomed image is part of the live video stream.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the two parts?

A: The camera head itself is 22 mm × 22 mm × 28.43 mm. The Al Box (the processing/interface unit) measures 33.5 mm × 33.5 mm × 16.5 mm.

Q: Is the module suitable for outdoor use?

A: The operating temperature range is −20°C to 50°C. Whether it is suitable for an outdoor environment depends mainly on how you protect the units from moisture and dust, as the module itself does not carry an IP rating.
