Hikmicro MiniE Thermal Camera for Smartphone

  • Thermal Resolution: 96 x 96

  • NETD: < 50mK
  • Thermal FOV: 50 × 50°
What do these specs mean?

Understanding Thermal Specs

Thermal Resolution

Think of this like a TV screen (e.g., 1280x1024). A higher number means more pixels. More pixels give you a sharper, more detailed image, allowing you to digitally zoom in much further before the image gets blurry or pixelated.

Thermal Lens

Similar to a camera lens, measured in millimeters (e.g., 50mm). A larger lens gathers more thermal energy and "sees" further, giving you a longer detection range. However, larger lenses typically result in a narrower field of view.

Pixel Interval (Pitch)

The physical distance between pixels on the sensor, measured in microns (e.g., 12µm). A smaller number means the pixels are packed tighter together, which produces a crisper image and extends your optical magnification without needing a massive lens.

NETD (Thermal Sensitivity)

Measures how tiny of a temperature difference the device can detect. Lower is better (e.g., < 15mK beats < 25mK). A lower NETD means you get a much clearer picture in terrible weather (rain, thick fog, high humidity) and superior contrast between the animal and its surroundings.

Thermal FOV (Field of View)

How wide of an area you can see at once. A wider FOV is excellent for scanning large areas quickly to spot movement. A narrower FOV usually means the device has higher magnification, perfect for identifying specific targets at long distances.
