The Hikmicro BX20 Intrinsically Safe Thermal Camera is an ATEX and IECEx-certified infrared imaging camera suitable for use in hazardous areas. Delivering a 25Hz frame rate and radiometric imaging, the BX20 includes a 256 x 192px IR detector with 40mK thermal sensitivity and can measure temperatures between -20°C and +550°C to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%. The Hikmicro BX20 also features an integrated 2MP digital camera allowing it to offer Thermal and Visual imaging modes and Fusion and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functions. Imaging is clearly visible on the Hikmicro BX20’s wide display, while a built-in rechargeable battery delivers up to six hours of continuous operation, ideal for all-day use.
Equipped with a highly sensitive 40mk VOx IR detector with a 256 x 192px resolution, the Hikmicro BX20 Intrinsically Safe Thermal Camera captures crisp, clear thermal imaging. Moreover, a 25Hz frame rate ensures smooth thermal imaging when scanning scenes or tracking moving targets.
SuperIR technology uses algorithms to enhance the resolution of thermal images to 320 x 240px (76 800 pixels), ensuring you can capture sharp thermal photos and footage.
Offering a temperature range of -20°C to +550°C, the Hikmicro BX20 Thermal Camera can measure temperatures to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%. As such, it supports full-screen radiometric images and automatically tracks the minimum, maximum, and centre spot temperatures, allowing you to spot anomalies quickly and easily.
The Hikmicor BX20 also includes a 2MP digital camera enabling it to capture digital, as well as thermal, images. As a result, the BX20 offers four selectable imaging modes:
Delivering a continuous operating time of up to six hours, the Hikmicro BX20 Intrinsically Safe Thermal Camera is powered by a 3350mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery. An Auto Power Off function also works to conserve and extend battery life. This function can be set to activate after 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 minutes of inactivity.
The Hikmicro BX20 Intrinsically Safe Thermal Camera is an ATEX and IECEx-certified infrared- and visual-light imager specifically for use in hazardous areas.
