What do these specs mean?

Understanding Thermal Specs

Thermal Resolution

Think of this like a TV screen (e.g., 1280x1024). A higher number means more pixels. More pixels give you a sharper, more detailed image, allowing you to digitally zoom in much further before the image gets blurry or pixelated.

Thermal Lens

Similar to a camera lens, measured in millimeters (e.g., 50mm). A larger lens gathers more thermal energy and "sees" further, giving you a longer detection range. However, larger lenses typically result in a narrower field of view.

Pixel Interval (Pitch)

The physical distance between pixels on the sensor, measured in microns (e.g., 12µm). A smaller number means the pixels are packed tighter together, which produces a crisper image and extends your optical magnification without needing a massive lens.

NETD (Thermal Sensitivity)

Measures how tiny of a temperature difference the device can detect. Lower is better (e.g., < 15mK beats < 25mK). A lower NETD means you get a much clearer picture in terrible weather (rain, thick fog, high humidity) and superior contrast between the animal and its surroundings.

Thermal FOV (Field of View)

How wide of an area you can see at once. A wider FOV is excellent for scanning large areas quickly to spot movement. A narrower FOV usually means the device has higher magnification, perfect for identifying specific targets at long distances.

Understanding the Math

We believe in honest, real-world field specifications.

Detection ranges are calculated by taking the manufacturer's baseline testing and physically scaling it to the average height of the target animal.

Recognition & Identification are calculated using Johnson's Criteria—the military standard for thermal optics. By analyzing the physical properties of the camera's lens and sensor pitch, we calculate exactly when the target will take up enough pixels on your screen to be clearly identified.

Note: High humidity, thick coats, and environmental background temperatures will reduce these maximum optical distances in the field.
Key Features & Highlights

Product Overview

The Pixfra Sirius PFI-SA50 is a high-performance thermal monocular built around a massive 1280 x 1024 resolution sensor. Unlike standard 640-pixel units, this ultra-high-definition detector provides significantly more data points, resulting in a cleaner image with less pixelation when using digital zoom. This resolution is paired with a 50mm F1.0 objective lens, allowing for a 2600m detection range, making it highly effective for long-range observation in open South African terrain.

At 544g, the device is notably lightweight for its size, utilizing a carbon fibre reinforced chassis that balances durability with portability. The viewing experience is centered on a large 1920 x 1080 Full HD OLED display. This high-resolution screen ensures that the detail captured by the 1280 sensor is fully utilized, providing deep contrast and sharp target edges. While many high-end units now reach sub-20mk sensitivity, the SA50’s 18mk NETD rating ensures reliable performance in humid or low-contrast environments, maintaining a clear distinction between the target and the background.

Operational efficiency is managed via a replaceable 18650 battery system. This design is preferred by professional users as it allows for instant power swaps in the field, removing the need for internal charging downtime. The unit includes 64GB of internal storage for high-definition video recording and is IP67 rated for protection against heavy rain and dust.
