HIKMICRO Pocket2 Thermal Camera Review

[@bjlujan192]

Hello I am trying to do research on the hikmicro pocket 2 before we buy one and I was hoping to get some help or answers from you about it. My first question is how does the connectivity work as far as using bluetooth, wifi, or hot spot? And do you need to have cell phone signal for those functions to work, to be able and remote control the camera from a distance? Thank you for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the Pocket 2 thermal camera review. I don't regret the additional purchase of the macro lens. After doing some tests, I quickly realized that it was becoming a troubleshooting tool... A tool to discover... Thanks again...

I strongly recommend this camera. I wish I had bought it. The Topdon TC003 was a lot cheaper (nearly half the price) but it’s so big and clunky. If I could choose again, I’d get this one

I'm putting this on my shopping list. I've been looking at imaging camera's on and off. This one kind of stands out on capability. Yeah it's a little more $$, but as they say you get what you pay for. 👍

That manual mode temperature range is great, solves one of my pet peeves with systems like this.

Impressive connectivity, macro and refresh rate 😲

[@matthieu8292]

thank you ! very nice and affordable solution

Why do thermal cameras only have a fixed focus lens. Would be good to have a thermal camera with an auto focus lens like visible light digital cameras.

[@rokiedecentra9656]

If only it had manual focus..... The two fixed extremes aren't as useful as fine control

thank you for this comprehensive review! Learned a lot about the possibilities my thermal cam ...

Is there a way to turn off the spot meter and temperature gage while taking thermal images at the same time?

I believe Pocket2 is known as K20 in China. Based on the specification sheet, K20 supports only Chinese and NETD is 50mk whereas Pocket2 supports multi languages and NETD is 40mk. I wonder if there is difference in hardware which leads to a 10mk NETD difference. Any idea?

[@KerryWongBlog]

Don't know anything about the K20. But if the NETD spec is different it would using a different IR sensor.

[@seek3n]

What do you think the technical specs compare to flir c5? Is it true? Is the thermal pixles really twice as much? You know like fake 4K tv (they just use digital image enhance)

[@KerryWongBlog]

I don't know which sensor module HIKMICRO Pocket2 uses, but the image quality is similar to that of the Infiray P2 which uses a Tiny1-C sensor module and has the same resolution (256x192).

Can you do a review on FNIRSI DPOX180H ?

[@KerryWongBlog]

One thing I can assure you is that the claimed 180 MHz bandwidth is most certainly over inflated. I can probably get my hands on one if there's enough interest.

[@yalol]

@@KerryWongBlog ok you suggest any good oscilloscope?

[@chuxxsss]

The only problem is its high price at 899 AuD, out of my range. But a very good camera, one day.
