Oko Camera launches Oko Pro — an AI-optimized thermal camera for computer vision
Oko Pro is fully optimized for unmanned and robotic platforms powered by computer vision algorithms, including optical navigation modules, anti-FPV turrets, and Counter-UAS complexes.
The cameras stream both uncompressed Y16 raw video for AI models and a processed 8-bit stream for operators, enabled by a MIPI CSI-2® + USB 2.0 dual interface. Featuring on-board video processing and ultra-low latency (sub-17 ms at 60 Hz or sub-34 ms at 30 Hz), Oko Pro ensures the split-second response times required by automated systems for precise target detection and engagement.
The Oko Pro series is equipped with a high-resolution 640×480 sensor featuring a 17-micron pixel pitch. Its superior sensitivity (NETD) of under 30 mK ensures exceptional object detailing at long ranges and under adverse weather conditions.
The series includes seven models with lenses ranging from 6 mm to 150 mm. The cameras are fully compatible with major single-board computers, including Raspberry Pi (Models 4, 5, Compute Modules, and Zero) and NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
The thermal cameras are manufactured from reliable European and Ukrainian components. We adhere to a zero-Chinese-components policy, ensuring supply chain resilience, rigorous quality control, and clear lead times.
The Oko Pro series is a direct response to the needs of unmanned systems manufacturers and defense operators utilizing computer vision who require a thermal camera perfectly tailored to their mission specifics. A pivotal achievement for our engineering team was developing our own proprietary electronics from scratch, giving us absolute control over the hardware architecture. This sovereign design, combined with zero Chinese components, our in-house calibration algorithms and image processing modes, allowed us to deliver a technologically independent product optimized for real-world combat challenges.
