1 / 7HIKMICRO Mini1S V3 Thermal Camera, 384×288 SuperIR
The HIKMICRO Mini1S V3 is a USB thermal camera for compatible phones, tablets and Windows PCs. It combines a native 192×144 detector with SuperIR-enhanced imaging up to 384×288, temperature measurements and inspection tools, while drawing power from the connected device rather than an internal battery.
At a glance
- SuperIR enhances the native 192×144 detector image to up to 384×288. The listing does not describe this as native detector resolution.
- 35 mK NETD and 25 Hz imaging are claimed for thermal inspections such as HVAC, electrical, automotive and insulation checks.
- SuperScene is described as recognising inspection scenes and flagging anomalies, with analysis for insulation, radiant floor heating and water leaks.
- Measure temperatures with spot, line and area tools, adjustable emissivity and alarms.
- The camera has no internal battery and is powered through its USB connection to a compatible device.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The range of measurement tools and adjustable emissivity supports more than simple spot-temperature readings.
- Compatibility claims cover USB-C Android devices, USB-C iPhone and iPad models, and Windows PCs.
- HIKMICRO Viewer is listed for mobile use and HIKMICRO Analyzer for Windows analysis and reporting.
Cons
- No internal battery means the connected phone, tablet or PC must power the camera during use.
