Hikmicro Lynx LH15 3.0 thermal camera

Hikmicro Lynx LH15 3.0 thermal camera

The Hikmicro Lynx LH15 3.0 thermal camera improves visibility in both night and day conditions. In nature, you can use a thermal camera to see not only people and animals, but also the tracks and paths left by them. A thermal camera is also an excellent tool for security and rescue professionals.

What does version 3.0 add compared to version 2.0?

• The Lynx LH15 3.0 is equipped with a <18mK sensor, which allows it to detect smaller temperature differences, resulting in clearer images in wet, humid or cold conditions where thermal contrast is poor. The 2.0 version had a <20mK sensor
• The Lynx 3.0 series features High-Shutter-Free Imaging (HSIS) , meaning there are no interruptions, flickering, or lost fractions of a second. One of the most frustrating features of the Lynx 2.0 was the random recalibration of the shutter in the middle of a viewing session, at critical moments - the inevitable mechanical click and screen freeze that could cost you the loss of a moving subject.
• The Lynx 3.0 series has 64GB of internal memory. The Lynx 2.0 series had 16GB of memory.

As you can see from the above list, Lynx 3.0 is not just a minor update, but brings significant improvements to the device's performance and usability - features that were previously available in much more expensive models.

Sensor, lens and image quality

The Lynx LH15 3.0 thermal camera has a 320×240 12um sensor and a highly sensitive <18mK sensor that produces detailed images regardless of weather conditions. The lower the mK reading, the more sensitive the sensor. The sensitivity of the sensor affects how the device detects temperature differences. The more sensitive the sensor, the better the device detects temperature differences in difficult conditions, such as fog, snowfall or cold conditions.

The camera has a focal length of 15 millimeters with an aperture of f/1 . With this version, you can identify objects from a distance of 750 meters. The device has a choice of 1, 2, 4 and 8 times digital zoom.

AI-based Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro image processing optimize details across the entire magnification range and improve object resolution.

The viewfinder's 1024×768 pixel resolution allows you to use the device for extended periods without tiring your eyes.

• Resolution 320×240, image refresh rate 50Hz
• NETD thermal sensitivity <15mK
• 15mm f1.0 fast lens
• 1024×768 dot AMOLED viewfinder
• Observation distance 750 meters

Usability

Menus and settings are controlled with clear buttons that can be used even in freezing temperatures with gloves. Recording images or videos is easy, so you can react quickly to situations.

Hikmicro Lynx LH15 3.0 includes four different color palettes for displaying temperature differences, so you can see where the temperature is clearly colder or warmer or see an entire object clearly standing out from the background.

Hikmicron Lynx thermal cameras are IP67 weatherproof , meaning they work without problems even in rainy weather. The body is made of lightweight but durable magnesium, meaning the camera is suitable for crouching in the forest and even longer viewing sessions can be done without hand fatigue.

• Save and share photos and videos via WiFi or USB-C connection
• Up to 5.5 hours of use on a single battery
  
• Free App for iPhone and Android
• IP67 level weather protection

The device comes with two batteries that can be charged via the device via a USB-C cable or with the included separate charger. One battery lasts for 5.5 hours of continuous use in summer and 4.5 hours in winter.

HIKMICRO Sight software allows you to adjust device settings, browse and download material using your phone. A very cool feature is the ability to share thermal camera images wirelessly with others. Hikmicron can be connected to multiple devices at the same time, so the whole team can see the thermal camera image in real time!
