HIKMICRO Autofocus Box Thermal Camera
The HIKMICRO Autofocus Box Series delivers high-speed, continuous thermal monitoring with the added versatility of a motorized autofocus lens. Engineered for dynamic industrial environments where target distances may vary, this series eliminates the need for manual focal adjustments. Simply install the camera, and it will automatically lock onto the thermal target with perfect clarity.
Available in both 384 × 288 and high-definition 640 × 512 thermal resolutions, these cameras boast a fluid 50 fps refresh rate, making them ideal for monitoring fast-moving production lines, robotic welding cells, and automated quality control stations. Native support for Modbus TCP and RS485 ensures seamless integration into your existing PLC and SCADA architecture.
Key Professional Advantages
Motorized Autofocus Intelligence: Automatically adjusts focal length to maintain crisp thermal images even if the monitored asset shifts or the camera is redeployed to a new process line.
Dual Resolution Options: Choose the standard 384 × 288 resolution for close-range machinery, or upgrade to the 640 × 512 high-definition sensor for scanning larger areas with greater pixel density and precision.
Fluid 50 fps High-Speed Monitoring: High-speed 50 Hz frame rate captures rapid temperature spikes in fast-moving automation processes that standard 25 Hz cameras miss entirely.
Industrial Automation Ready: Built-in Modbus TCP and RS485 communication protocols allow the camera to act as a direct "thermal node" on your factory network, triggering automated actions without manual intervention.
Smart Alarms & External Control: Equipped with Alarm I/O interfaces, allowing the system to trigger external sirens, warning lights, or emergency machine shutdowns the instant a critical temperature threshold is breached.
