This sensor from Panasonic is an 8×8 array of IR thermal sensors. When connected to your microcontroller (or raspberry Pi) it will return an array of 64 individual infrared temperature readings over I2C. It’s like those fancy thermal cameras, but compact and simple enough for easy integration. This part will measure temperatures ranging from 0C to 80C (32F to 176F) with an accuracy of +- 2.5C (4.5F). It can detect a human from a distance of up to 7 meters (23) feet. With a maximum frame rate of 10Hz.
