Thermal and visual imaging modes

The HIKMICRO PocketE is equipped with both a thermal sensor and a 0.3MP visual camera, allowing users to work across five versatile image modes: Thermal, Visual, PIP, Fusion, and Blending. These modes help translate infrared data into practical diagnostics, whether isolating temperature anomalies or verifying visual details on-site. Fusion and Blending combine IR and visible images, adding context and clarity to areas of concern. This hybrid approach is especially valuable when locating faults where both temperature variance and visual alignment matter.

SuperIR enhancement and radiometric imaging

Although the base IR resolution is 96 × 96, HIKMICRO’s SuperIR technology enhances image detail to 240 × 240 when viewed or captured. With a fast 25Hz refresh rate, this allows for real-time image clarity when scanning large surfaces or following moving components. The PocketE also provides full-screen radiometric imaging with automatic centre, hot, and cold spot detection, helping users pinpoint thermal inconsistencies with ease. A one-tap level and span function quickly adjusts contrast, making subtle differences stand out during inspections.

User interface and connectivity

A 3.5" 320 × 240 touchscreen with auto-rotation gives users a large, intuitive interface for viewing, navigating, and measuring. With digital zoom from 1.0× to 4.0×, even small details become visible without needing to reposition. The PocketE stores up to 30,000 images or 20 hours of MP4 video using its built-in 4GB memory. Onboard note-taking with up to 200 characters per annotation supports better documentation. Wireless connectivity to the HIKMICRO Viewer App enables real-time streaming, file transfer, and reporting straight from the job site to a mobile device.

Compact and durable

Weighing just 350g and small enough to slip into a pocket or pouch, the PocketE is purpose-built for mobile professionals. It features IP54 protection against dust and water, has been drop-tested to 2 m, and includes a built-in LED work light for visibility in dark spaces such as crawl areas, cabinets, or server rooms. A high-temperature alarm alerts users when surfaces exceed defined thresholds, enhancing safety and allowing users to act quickly. With a four-hour rechargeable battery life and auto power-off features, it’s designed to last across the day without interruption.

FAQs

What makes the PocketE ideal for field work?

Its pocket-sized format, durable build, and 4-hour battery life make it excellent for field work. With 1-click IR capture, real-time Wi-Fi streaming, and touchscreen control, it’s fast and easy to operate even on the go.

Can it save both thermal and visible images at once?

Yes. With the 1-click IR/visual function, it captures and stores both image types simultaneously—speeding up inspections and making report generation simpler.

How does the Fusion and Blending mode work?

Fusion overlays visual and thermal data for clearer identification of problem areas, while Blending merges the two in a partially transparent view for added clarity. Combined with a 0.3 MP visual camera, these modes help pinpoint faults faster.

Is the PocketE tough enough for regular use?

Absolutely. It’s IP54-rated against dust and water and drop-tested up to 2 m. The included wrist strap and pouch offer further protection, and the built-in LED light ensures visibility in low-light areas.
