HIK Micro Lynx Thermal Telescope – 6mm

The HIKMICRO Lynx 6 delivers a high quality thermal image from the high-resolution 160×120, 17µm thermal sensor (35mK NETD rating, one of the most sensitive sensors available today) to the generously sized and easy to view LCOS display.

The HIKMICRO Lynx 6 has a very impressive detection range of detecting heat of a vehicle (1.4x4m) as far as 559m away or a human sized object (1.8×0.5m) as far as 182m away, which many of us know is more than enough. There are 4 different colour pallets, alongside brightness and contrast controls you can optimise the image to suit your vision best.

Built-in Wifi and a dedicated HIK Vision app allow you to take complete control of the units settings, features and more from your smartphone.

To make things better, a 3 year UK warranty is also included.

Features

HIK VISION Thermal Sensor

At the heart of the HIKMICRO Lynx 6 is the HIK Vision 160x120px, 17µm thermal sensor (NETD Rating = 35mK).

35mK NETD Rating = One of the most sensitive sensors available on the market, detecting even the smallest temperature differences.

This combines with the 6mm objective lens and focus system to achieve a crystal clear image, due to the smaller lens you can expect a wider field of view than the larger 15 or 35mm models.

Combine this with the HIK software that processes the image you see on screen and you have an unbeatable package that performs well above its price point.

T-Vision App: Connect – Control – Stream

Connect your smartphone and take control of all features of the HIKMICRO Lynx 6.

The T-Vision app allows you to stream the output in real time allowing you to share your viewpoint with a friend.

You can also record images and video, optimise the colour profile, display settings and magnification all from the easy to use app.

Hot Track

Activate Hot Tracking and your HIKMICRO Lynx 6 will highlight the hottest spot detected in the current frame with a green crosshair.

This is useful to highlight small heat sources as you scan around.

This feature can also be deactivated in the menu or controlled in the App.
