MiniE
The HIKMICRO Mini E is the most compact and accessible thermal imaging module in the smartphone lineup. Designed as a high-value entry point for rapid troubleshooting, the Mini E transforms any USB-C or Lightning device into a functional thermal scanner. Weighing just 20 grams, it is the ultimate "always-on-hand" tool for first-line technicians, facility managers, and automotive professionals who need instant thermal insights without the bulk of a handheld camera.
Key Professional Advantages
Ultra-Compact "Invisible" Design: At approximately 20 grams, the Mini E is small enough to live in a pocket or toolbox indefinitely. It requires no internal battery, drawing negligible power directly from your smartphone for instant operation.
Optimized for Rapid Screening: While compact, the Mini E delivers a 96 × 96 resolution (9,216 pixels) that is enhanced by HIKMICRO’s SuperIR technology. This provides clear, actionable imagery for identifying electrical hotspots, pipe blockages, or insulation gaps.
High-Speed 25 Hz Performance: Unlike many budget-tier smartphone modules that lag at 9 Hz, the Mini E offers a fluid 25 Hz refresh rate. This ensures a smooth "live" viewing experience while scanning moving equipment or walking through a facility.
Wide Temperature Range: Capable of measuring from -20°C to 400°C, the Mini E covers most common industrial and residential diagnostic needs, from sub-zero HVAC checks to high-heat motor monitoring.
Full App Integration: Compatible with the HIKMICRO Viewer App, allowing users to generate instant reports, change color palettes, and set temperature alarms directly on their mobile device.
