Ready for your drone.
WIRIS Pro SC combines a radiometric thermal camera and a Full HD visual camera with 10× optical zoom in a single aluminium housing. WIRIS OS provides full real-time data streaming and control during the flight, and the Data SDK and Stream SDK are included in the package for application development via Ethernet.
The thermal camera has a 640 × 512 px uncooled VOx microbolometer detector working in the 7.5 – 13.5 μm spectral range, with a temperature sensitivity of 30 mK. Super Resolution mode delivers IR images of 1 266 × 1 010 px, and frame-rate options are 30 Hz or below 9 Hz.
Interchangeable lenses with 18°, 32°, 45° and 69° fields of view are available. Two lenses are included in the standard package, and every lens is calibrated and delivered with a calibration certificate.
Fly and control in real time.
WIRIS OS ensures real-time control of all camera functions during the flight. The camera can be controlled via S.BUS, MavLink, CAN bus (including DJI M600 and A3 controllers), the Command Control Protocol over UART, RJ-45 or an external trigger.
Choose how it connects.
A 10-pin digital port carries the S.BUS, CAN bus, MavLink and UART connections, together with external GPS connectivity and an external trigger. Ethernet (RJ-45) provides video streaming and camera control with an adjustable API, Micro USB 2.0 works as mass storage, and a Micro HDMI output delivers 720p video. The camera runs from 9 to 36 VDC.
Analyse and integrate.
ThermoLab supports detailed thermogram analysis, including GPS image location and display of digital RGB images. Data SDK, Stream SDK and CANbus & UART SDK libraries support integration, and radiometric TIFF images are compatible with Pix4D and Agisoft for 3D modeling.
From two sensors
to one research dataset.
See the temperature picture.
The thermal camera has a temperature sensitivity of 30 mK. Each unit is calibrated in a climatic chamber, with an accuracy of ±2 °C or ±2 %. A protective filter shields the lens during flight, and the IR digital zoom works continuously from 1× to 12×.
Standard temperature ranges are −25 °C to +150 °C and −40 °C to +550 °C. For high temperatures, the camera can measure up to 1 500 °C with an external filter.
- Temperature sensitivity 30 mK
- Accuracy ±2 °C or ±2 %
- Hot / cold spot detection and alarm modes
Zoom in on the detail.
The Full HD visual camera has a 1/3″ sensor and 10× optical zoom with vibration compensation, with a view angle from 6.9° to 58.2°. Autofocus works in sync with the zoom, and a special 3D noise reduction function is included.
Multi-camera modes include full screen, IR only, VIS only and Picture in Picture.
- Full HD, 10× optical zoom
- Vibration compensation
- Picture in Picture mode
Record, tag and analyse.
An internal high-speed SSD (128 or 256 GB) stores images and video, with a Micro SD slot and a USB 2.0 port for a USB stick. Images and videos can be geo-tagged through MavLink, an external GPS or DJI A3 controllers over CAN bus.
The camera records radiometric JPEG and TIFF images, Full HD JPEG images and h.264 HD video. Radiometric full-frame IR recording (raw data) runs at 30 Hz or below 9 Hz.
- Internal SSD, Micro SD and USB
- GPS geo-tagging of images and video
- Pix4D and Agisoft compatible

Is WIRIS Pro SC a complete camera system?
Yes. WIRIS Pro SC combines a thermal camera, a Full HD visual camera with 10× optical zoom and the WIRIS OS control system in one aluminium housing, with two 1/4 – 20 UNC mounting threads (one on the bottom side and one on the upper side). The Data SDK and Stream SDK are included in the package.
What is the difference between WIRIS Pro and WIRIS Pro SC?
WIRIS Pro is a versatile dual-sensor camera for inspection and survey missions, with a standard thermal sensitivity of up to 50 mK and an optional 30 mK version. WIRIS Pro SC comes standard with a thermal sensitivity of 30 mK or better, Ethernet (RJ-45) with API, and the Data & Stream SDK for IP network connectivity, remote control and direct data streaming without additional licenses. Two interchangeable calibrated lenses are included in the standard package.
Which lenses are available?
Interchangeable lenses with 18°, 32°, 45° and 69° fields of view are available. Two lenses are included in the standard package, and all lenses are calibrated and delivered with a calibration certificate. The visual camera covers a view angle from 6.9° at full zoom to 58.2° at wide angle.
Which temperature ranges can WIRIS Pro SC measure?
Standard temperature ranges are −25 °C to +150 °C and −40 °C to +550 °C. Optional ranges of +50 °C to +1 000 °C and +400 °C to +1 500 °C are available, and measurement up to 1 500 °C is possible with an external filter. Each unit is calibrated in a climatic chamber, with an accuracy of ±2 °C or ±2 %.
How is WIRIS Pro SC controlled during flight?
WIRIS OS ensures real-time control of all camera functions during the flight. The camera can be controlled via S.BUS, MavLink, CAN bus (including DJI M600 and A3 controllers), the Command Control Protocol over UART, RJ-45 or an external trigger. A Micro HDMI output provides a 720p video signal.
What are the size, weight and power requirements?
WIRIS Pro SC measures 83 × 85 × 68 mm and weighs less than 450 g. It is powered from 9 to 36 VDC with an average power dissipation of 12 W, and operates from −15 °C to +50 °C.
What software tools are available?
ThermoLab is available for thermogram analysis, and WIRIS OS runs on the camera itself. Data SDK, Stream SDK and CANbus & UART SDK libraries support integration, and radiometric TIFF images are compatible with Pix4D and Agisoft for 3D modeling.
What is WIRIS Pro SC used for?
WIRIS Pro SC is designed for geological and archeological studies, forestry and environmental monitoring, structural analysis of infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, dams and chimneys, ecological research, and high-temperature industrial monitoring.
