Mid-IR Sensors are emerging as potential tool for military sector as it offer excellent surveillance feature due to its high-resolution imaging

Mid-IR Sensors are sensor solutions that provide high-resolution imaging of scenes for a wide range of applications. This technology is very popularly used by the military and the police for patrol, surveillance, and security. The high-resolution imaging possible from a mid-IR sensor is made possible by the ability of its internal light sources to remain below the visible light level at all times. In addition, the low ambient temperatures that are required to capture an image with a mid-IR sensor are a major factor in making these sensors so popular. As such, the availability of a wide array of built-in receivers, lenses, and mounting accessories makes these sensors very cost-effective and available to a wider range of users.

The range of consumer Mid-IR Sensors product is enormous. These range from simple infra-red illuminators to a whole array of sophisticated and technologically advanced night vision equipment. These products are generally available from manufacturers such as night vision specialist SBI and SIDEL, though it is also possible to source these types of devices from specialist distributors. Most SIDEL products are compatible with the SIDEL MIP-Pro and EasyBay systems, though a few of the manufacturer's own products are not.
