Oko Camera Unveils Oko Pro Thermal Imaging Camera Free of Chinese Components

Ukrainian company Oko Camera has introduced the Oko Pro thermal imaging camera, a new system designed for computer vision applications and manufactured entirely with European and Ukrainian components.

The company announced the launch in a statement to Militarnyi.

The Oko Pro is specifically designed for unmanned and robotic platforms that use computer vision technologies, including optical navigation systems, anti-FPV defense turrets, and counter-drone solutions. The camera is now available for pre-order.

Thanks to its dual MIPI CSI-2® and USB 2.0 interfaces, the camera can simultaneously output both uncompressed 16-bit raw thermal video (Y16) for AI and computer vision models and a processed 8-bit video stream for human operators.

Built-in video processing and ultra-low latency – less than 17 ms at 60 Hz or less than 34 ms at 30 Hz – enable automated systems to respond rapidly, improving target detection, tracking, and engagement performance.

The Oko Pro family is built around a high-resolution 640 × 480 thermal sensor featuring a 17-micron pixel pitch. With a thermal sensitivity (NETD) of up to 30 mK, the sensor can capture highly detailed thermal images at extended ranges, even in adverse weather and low-visibility conditions.

The lineup includes seven camera versions with lenses ranging between 6 mm and 150 mm, allowing users to select configurations optimized for different operational requirements. The cameras are fully compatible with leading single-board computing platforms, including the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, Compute Module, and Zero series, as well as NVIDIA Jetson-based systems.

In early May, Postup Solutions presented its Scan Horizon autonomous counter-FPV drone system at the EDTH Hackathon in Kyiv. The system is equipped with a net launcher designed to intercept and neutralize FPV drones.
