High-resolution thermal and visible image capture

At the core of the B20S is a 256 × 192 thermal detector backed by <40 mk thermal sensitivity, delivering sharp, contrast-rich thermal images that reveal even small temperature variations. a 2mp visible-light camera enhances visual context through fusion and pip modes, giving users the flexibility to inspect with clarity and precision. with four selectable image modes, the b20s adapts to different use cases—whether verifying a heat source, scanning mechanical systems, or performing maintenance on hvac units.>

Reliable performance and real-time monitoring

The B20S supports a 25Hz frame rate, ensuring smooth real-time video capture when sweeping across scenes or tracking moving components. Its advanced measurement tools—including hot, cold, and centre spot tracking—help pinpoint heat sources with speed and accuracy. A built-in speaker and LED torch offer audible and visual alarms when high-temperature thresholds are reached, enhancing operator awareness during inspections. With up to 6 hours of runtime, it’s engineered to last throughout a full day of work without interruption.

Connectivity and analysis tools

Designed for modern inspection workflows, the B20S features Wi-Fi connectivity for direct image sharing via the HIKMICRO Viewer App. Users can transfer files, live-stream inspections, or annotate images on-site using a connected smart device. Captured radiometric data can also be analysed with HIKMICRO Analyser Software, enabling teams to create professional reports quickly and accurately. With 16GB of onboard storage, users can save up to 35,000 images—eliminating the need for external cards or frequent transfers.

FAQs

What image modes are available on the HIKMICRO B20S?

The B20S offers four distinct image modes: Thermal for heat-only data, Optical for standard photos, Fusion for overlaying visible and infrared images, and PIP (Picture-in-Picture) to embed a thermal window inside a visible image. These options enhance visibility and make fault location more intuitive, especially during inspections in complex environments.

How accurate is the temperature measurement on the B20S?

With a wide range from –20°C to 550°C, the B20S measures with ±2°C or ±2% accuracy under ambient conditions. This level of precision is ideal for diagnosing heat anomalies in HVAC systems, spotting overheating electrical components, or checking for insulation deficiencies in buildings.

Can I use the B20S to generate reports or share images?

Yes. The B20S is compatible with the HIKMICRO Viewer App and Analyser Software. Users can stream thermal images live to their mobile device or transfer data wirelessly. The Analyser Software allows in-depth review and report generation using stored radiometric data.

How durable is the B20S for field use?

Built for demanding conditions, the B20S features IP54-rated protection against water and dust ingress and is engineered with a robust body suitable for worksite use. The 6-hour battery life and ergonomic grip make it reliable and comfortable to use throughout a full day in the field.

What kind of storage is included with the B20S?

It has 16GB of built-in flash memory, capable of holding approximately 35,000 radiometric images. This internal storage eliminates the need for memory cards and simplifies image access for later analysis or report preparation.
