HIKMICRO High-Temp Autofocus Box Camera
The HIKMICRO High-Temp Box Thermal Camera Series is engineered for continuous, high-speed thermal monitoring in extreme-heat industrial environments. Combining high-definition 640 × 512 thermal resolution with a motorized autofocus lens, this series provides unparalleled clarity and dynamic targeting for metallurgy, glass manufacturing, and heavy industrial forging.
Unlike standard process cameras that max out at 550°C, the High-Temp Box series is explicitly calibrated for extreme thermal zones, with models capable of measuring up to 1800°C. With a fluid 50 fps refresh rate and native Modbus TCP / RS485 integration, it delivers real-time, automated thermal intelligence directly to your PLC and SCADA systems without requiring manual focal adjustments.
Key Professional Advantages
Extreme Heat Calibration: Purpose-built for high-heat manufacturing, offering a measurement range of 0~1000°C for wide-area monitoring, and up to 1800°C for targeted processes like continuous casting or molten glass inspection.
Motorized Autofocus Intelligence: The integrated motorized lens automatically adjusts focal length, maintaining crisp thermal images even if the monitored asset shifts, material levels drop, or the camera is redeployed to a new process line.
High-Definition Thermal Clarity: The 640 × 512 resolution captures over 327,000 individual temperature data points per frame, allowing for the precise detection of micro-anomalies at greater distances.
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, providing automated temperature data and triggering responses without human 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.
