1 / 7HIKMICRO Mini2 Plus V2 Thermal Camera, Manual Focus
The HIKMICRO Mini2 Plus V2 is a plug-in thermal camera for compatible iOS and Android phones and tablets. The listing describes 256×192 native infrared resolution enhanced to 512×384 with SuperIR, manual focusing, and app-based inspection tools, making it suited to close, targeted checks rather than a standalone camera workflow.
At a glance
- SuperIR processing is claimed to enhance native 256×192 infrared imagery to 512×384, with noise reduction and clearer edge detail.
- Manual focus and a 25°×18.8° field of view are positioned for targeted inspections, including PCB and electrical checks.
- The listing describes measurement adjustments, 15 colour palettes and preset scene modes for different inspection tasks.
- Compact plug-in design is listed at 0.85oz (24g) and is described as compatible with iOS and Android phones and tablets.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Manual focus offers control when bringing a specific inspection area into clearer view.
- App-based palette, measurement and scene options allow the displayed thermal view to be adapted to different tasks.
- The claimed 24g plug-in format is convenient to carry with a compatible phone or tablet.
Cons
- Manual focus requires the user to adjust focus rather than relying on autofocus.
- The listing says the unit is not water resistant, so it is not presented as suitable for wet conditions.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the title and feature text describe SuperIR enhancement to 512×384 from 256×192 native infrared resolution, while the thermal imaging claims are not independently substantiated. The listing also includes a generic 1080p video-resolution value that does not clarify thermal image resolution. Confirm the selected device connector and phone compatibility, as the package is described as USB-C while compatibility claims broadly mention iOS and Android. The claim of identifying conditions behind walls should not be taken to mean the camera sees through solid materials.

The supplied rating aggregate is entirely five-star, but it represents only a small number of ratings and no written customer feedback is available. It therefore offers limited insight into how the manual focus, phone compatibility or thermal imaging perform in particular inspection tasks.
Frequently asked questions
