Thermal Night Vision Car Camera DALI TV991983 — 384×288 resolution, 37° field of view

DALI TV991983 is a thermal night vision car camera with a 384×288 uncooled microbolometer sensor and a 37.9°×28.5° field of view. Designed for vehicle use, it provides temperature-based imaging in low-light or no-light conditions to detect people, animals and heat sources. The camera is IP67 rated, ruggedized for shock and vibration, and operates from 12–32 V DC with power consumption under 6 W.

Advantages

The camera delivers clear thermal imagery at distances up to 350 m without any external illumination and is unaffected by headlights, smoke, fog, dust or rain. Fixed athermatized lenses provide a stable panoramic view without focusing mechanisms. Built-in protections include reverse polarity and over-voltage safeguards, and the unit meets automotive process control to ISO/TS 16949 standards.

Suitable for

• Rearview and parking assistance on cars, SUVs and trucks
• Night-time driving safety and obstacle detection
• Off-road vehicles, buggies and quad bikes
• Marine applications on boats for low-visibility navigation
• Security monitoring and situational awareness in vehicles

How to use

Install the camera on the exterior of the vehicle using an IP67-compatible mount and connect video output to a compatible monitor or recorder (example: waterproof TV991976). Connect the power supply to a DC 12–32 V source following proper polarity. The fixed-focus lens requires no adjustment for typical vehicle distances; ensure the camera is oriented to cover the intended field of view. Verify secure cable routing and waterproof connections before use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the lens and housing clean of heavy debris and ice. Use the camera as part of a system with a suitable monitor rated for automotive use and check electrical connections periodically. Avoid exposing the unit to sustained submersion despite its IP67 rating and follow vehicle electrical protection practices to prevent over-voltage damage.
