Hikmicro SP40 Series
The HIKMICRO SP40 Series is a world-class handheld thermal imaging solution designed specifically for complex industrial, utility, and building diagnostics. Featuring a high-resolution 480 × 360 thermal sensor and an innovative 180° rotating lens, the SP40 allows thermographers to inspect hard-to-reach components at any angle while maintaining a clear view of the high-definition display.
Key Professional Advantages
Exceptional Image Quality (SuperIR): While the native resolution is a sharp 480 × 360, HIKMICRO’s SuperIR technology upscales imagery in real-time to a staggering 960 × 720 (691,200 pixels). This level of detail is critical for identifying thermal anomalies in high-density electrical panels or distant overhead lines.
Ergonomic 180° Rotating Design: The rotating lens module, combined with a 90° rotating 5-inch touch screen, reduces physical strain during long inspection days. It enables easy scanning under machinery, above ceilings, or around obstacles without compromising your viewing angle.
Precision Interchangeable Lenses: The SP40 system supports a full suite of professional lenses. From ultra-telephoto (6°) for high-voltage utilities to wide-angle (37°) for large-scale facility audits, the SP40 adapts to every environment.
Extreme Thermal Sensitivity: With a NETD < 30 mK, the SP40 detects the most minute temperature differences. This sensitivity is essential for identifying early-stage moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, or subtle bearing wear in mechanical systems.
Advanced Analytical Tools: Features including continuous digital zoom (up to 12x), laser distance meter, GPS tagging, and voice annotations allow for comprehensive on-site documentation and seamless reporting.
