Product Introduction

The handheld thermography camera is a camera with thermal images. It can do thermometry, and snapshot capturing. The built-in high-sensitivity IR detector and the high-performance sensor detect the temperature change and measure the real-time temperature. The temperature measurement range is -20 °C to 550 °C (-4 °F to 1022 °F) with an accuracy of ± 2 °C (3.6 °F) or ± 2% when the ambient temperature is 15 °C to 35 °C (59 °F to 95 °F) and the object temperature is above 0 °C (32 °F). It helps the users to find the risky part and reduce their property loss. You can view live view, capture snapshots, and record videos via HIKMICRO Viewer App on your phone. You can also analyze pictures offline, and generate and share a report via the app. Scan the QR codes on the cover to download the App. You can download HIKMICRO Analyzer ( www.hikmicrotech.com) to analyze pictures offline professionally, and generate a custom format report on your PC.
