WORKSWELL
TADAS Ethernet — Thermal Driving Assistance System (Ethernet/PoE)
Workswell TADAS Ethernet is a state-of-the-art thermal driving assistance camera designed to maintain situational awareness when visible-light systems fail—at night, in smoke, dust, rain or glare. Developed and manufactured in Europe as an ITAR‑free solution, it combines a high-sensitivity 640 × 480 LWIR thermal core with advanced FPGA image processing and straightforward IP integration (Ethernet with PoE and ONVIF) for rapid deployment on demanding ground and maritime platforms.
Key features at a glance
- Thermal core: uncooled LWIR microbolometer, 8–14 μm, 640 × 480 px, 17 μm pixel pitch
- Frame rate options: 9 Hz or up to 60 Hz full frame rate (model/configuration dependent)
- Scene temperature range: −50 °C to +600 °C (gain modes)
- Fast start: boots in under 6 seconds
- Image optimization: AGC/MGC, spatial + temporal filtering, 14 palettes (2 user-definable)
- Network & control: DHCP/static IP, HTTPS support, remote update via web interface (configuration dependent)
- Power: PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or external 12–24 VDC
Mission-adaptive lens options
Choose the field of view that matches your mission: a wide 7.5 mm lens (approx. 91° × 74°) for close-range awareness, or a 14 mm lens (approx. 42° × 32°) for longer-range observation. With the 14 mm option, TADAS Ethernet can detect a person at up to ~520 m and a vehicle at up to ~1,260 m (indicative ranges; dependent on conditions and criteria).
Typical applications
- Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs)
- Heavy-duty machinery and mining/construction vehicles
- Defence and border patrol platforms requiring robust thermal situational awareness
- Firefighting and emergency response vehicles operating in smoke/low visibility
- Security and surveillance systems needing IP video + PTZ control
Talk to us: Tell us your platform (UGV/USV/vehicle), preferred lens (7.5 mm vs. 14 mm), frame-rate requirement and network architecture. We’ll recommend the best TADAS Ethernet configuration for fast integration and field-ready performance. [email protected]
- Reliable vision in near-zero visibility: High thermal sensitivity (<30 mK)
- Plug-and-play IP integration: Ethernet with PoE, ONVIF support and RTSP/H.264
- • Built for field deployment: Robust IP67 aluminium housing with certified vibration (3.0 Grms) and shock resistance (15G), plus a heated germanium front window to keep the view clear in adverse weather.
