Description

The HikMicro B20S is a handheld pistol-grip thermal camera designed to deliver clear thermal imaging and accurate measurements in a rugged, ergonomic body. Equipped with a 256×192 pixel sensor and a thermal sensitivity of 0.04°C (NETD < 40 mK), it allows leaks, electrical faults and mechanical anomalies invisible to the naked eye to be quickly identified.

Superior Image Quality with SuperIR

Thanks to SuperIR technology, thermal resolution is optimized to deliver even sharper detail, while the built-in 2 MP visual camera enables advanced modes such as Fusion (thermal/visual overlay) and PIP (Picture-in-Picture). The 3.2″ display and the 25 Hz frame rate ensure a smooth visual experience, essential during quick scans of large surfaces.

Extended Versatility and Connectivity

With a measurement range covering -20°C to 550°C, the B20S is suited to most industrial and civil applications. The built-in Wi-Fi module allows instant connection to a smartphone via the HIKMICRO Viewer app, making it easy to create reports on site and share data. In addition, compatibility with optional macro lenses extends its capabilities into the field of micro-electronics as well.


Greater thermal clarity with SuperIR

HIKMICRO’s SuperIR image enhancement technology increases the resolution of captured thermal images to 640 x 480 (307,200 pixels), significantly improving thermal image quality. It also offers a smooth 25 Hz frame rate for real-time viewing and photo capture.
* Real-time SuperIR is only available in thermal mode.

640×480 Display

The B20S features a high-resolution 640×480 display. With SuperIR, you can enjoy high-definition real-time previews, revealing more detail and improving your overall experience.

4 Image Modes

Thermal, Fusion, PIP and Optical modes to suit your preferences.

Precise Measurement

The B20 thermal camera supports full-screen radiometric image capture and automatically tracks the maximum/minimum/center temperature points to pinpoint temperature anomalies at a glance. It accurately measures temperatures from -20°C to 550°C (-4°F to 1022°F), with an accuracy of up to +/-2°C (+/-3.6°F) or +/-2% of reading.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Connect mobile devices via built-in Wi-Fi and the HIKMICRO Viewer app to quickly share images.

High Temperature Alarm

The built-in speakers and flashing light give the operator audible and visual warnings in the event of high temperatures.

Free Professional Software

The included software offers flexible modes (points, lines, rectangles, circles, polygons) for analyzing the thermographic information in captured images and generating reports.

Package Contents

Supplied with the strap, the USB cable complete with adapter, the calibration certificate and the quick start guide.
Ideal Applications
  • Construction and Energy Diagnostics:
    Identifies thermal bridges and heat loss with maximum precision thanks to the 40 mK NETD. Locates water infiltration and condensation-prone areas before damage becomes visible.
  • Electrical and Mechanical Maintenance:
    Detects abnormal overheating in switches, cables and loose connections up to 550°C. Monitors the temperature of bearings, motors and gears to prevent machine downtime.
  • Thermo-hydraulics and HVAC:
    Quickly locates leaks in underfloor heating systems or concealed pipework. Checks the efficiency of heat exchangers and AC units.
  • Precision Electronics (with Macro Lens):
    Thanks to compatibility with optional macro lenses, the B20S becomes ideal for inspecting micro-components on electronic boards. Checks the thermal dissipation of prototypes during development.
  • Automotive Sector:
    Non-invasively analyzes cooling, exhaust and braking systems. Finds current leaks and short circuits in vehicle wiring.
