Grove - Infrared Temperature Sensor Array (AMG8833)

DESCRIPTION

The Grove - Infrared Temperature Sensor Array (AMG8833) is a high precision infrared array sensor which is based on advanced MEMS technology. It can support temperature detection of a two-dimensional area: 8 × 8 (64 pixels) and a maximum 7 meters detection distance.

Seeed provides both an Arduino and Raspberry Pi demo for this sensor. It's the perfect module to make your own thermal camera.
