HIKMICRO SP Series — Professional Handheld Thermal Camera
The HIKMICRO SP Series is a professional handheld thermal camera family designed for technicians, inspectors and maintenance engineers working in industrial, energy and construction environments. Four models across two IR detector tiers (SP40 / SP40H and SP60 / SP60H) use SuperIR processing to provide enhanced radiometric image resolution for diagnostic reporting.

Key product highlights

• Interchangeable optics system (tele to wide) to adapt field of view and spatial resolution to tasks from long-distance high-voltage inspection to close-up PCB analysis.
• Laser-assisted autofocus achieving precise focus in about one second even at low thermal contrast; multiple focus modes available.
• 5" LCD touchscreen with 90° rotation and 180° rotating lens for angled inspections in confined spaces; SP60 models include a 1024×768 px OLED electronic viewfinder for improved readability in bright light.
• Ruggedness for field use: IP54 protection, 1 m drop resistance and up to ~8 hours operating time with two interchangeable Li‑ion batteries included.
• Integrated laser distance meter, GPS and compass for geotagging; dual-band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, USB‑C and mini HDMI for connectivity and IR streaming.
• Free HIKMICRO Analyzer PC software for thermal analysis and professional report generation.

Applications — Industrial sector

• LV/MV electrical panels and wiring: thermal inspection of panels, busbars, transformers and connections to detect contact resistance anomalies, phase imbalances and overheating.
• Motors, bearings and transmissions: detect abnormal temperature rise due to friction, lubrication issues or misalignment.
• Photovoltaic systems: identify defective cells, hot spots, bypass diode failures and faulty connections (ground and drone inspections).
• PCB and electronic component inspection: PCB Inspection mode and optional microscope stand for magnified thermal analysis of boards and components.
• High-temperature processes (H versions): monitoring of industrial furnaces, refractories and smelting processes up to 2,200°C (SP40H/SP60H).
• Mechanical and structural inspections: localize abnormal temperature zones on tanks, pipelines, pumps and compressors.

Applications — Building and civil engineering sector

• Energy diagnostics and thermal audits: detection of thermal bridges, heat loss and water ingress for energy performance assessments and renovations.
• Roof and flat roof inspection: identify moisture in insulation or damaged membranes for targeted repairs.
• Underfloor and hydraulic systems: verify heating/cooling uniformity and locate concealed leaks.
• Civil electrical panels: prevent fire hazards from overheating in residential distribution boards.
• On-site commissioning: document correct installation of thermal and acoustic insulation before closing works.

Included software
HIKMICRO Analyzer (PC, free) — thermal image and video analysis, archive management and professional report generation.
