What to ask for

Samples and evaluation kits for the camera range and the RF range.

Quotes, and availability for a specific variant.

Before asking

A four-line requirement gets a specific answer: the feature and its size, the working distance and required coverage, the pixels the processing needs, and the environment.

An independent reference for adjacent engineering topics is EDN.

"We need a high-resolution module" specifies nothing, and it is what most enquiries contain.

Information checklist.

Deciding whether it fits

Start from what must be resolvable — the feature, its size, the working distance and the pixels the processing needs across it.

Then the lens calculation, which takes ten minutes and finds the real constraint before anything is ordered.

Then the filter, which follows from the illumination: infrared cut for visible colour work, dual band where an infrared illuminator is used at night, none for deliberate infrared imaging.

And the mounting, since one degree of tilt displaces the view by roughly 17 mm per metre — which makes mechanical tolerance an imaging specification.

What the documentation does not state

Anything absent from the data sheet is absent from this page too.

Nothing here is estimated or interpolated — which is the standing rule and the reason a thin page is thin.

Ask for what is missing. The information checklist shows what details matter, and where the answer is that a figure has never been characterised, that is itself informative.
