HIKMICRO B10 256 x 192 IR Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera with 2MP Visual Camera, Full Screen Measurement, 25 Hz Refresh Rate Handheld Thermal Camera with 3.2" LCD Screen, IP54, -20 °C ~550 °C

Spent a lot of time thinking I'd 'buy the best' and go for a Flir infrared imaging camera but was put off by the slow update speed (9fps, something to do with USA export restrictions) and the painfully high prices. While trawling the internet for reviews (as you do), Hikmicro was mentioned as a worthy manufacturer so I looked at their range. I chose this model because of the fast update speed (25fps) and its IR resolution. I would have liked WiFi connectivity but I didn't want to pay the extra £200 for the B20. I was very impressed by the build quality and the professional feel of the unit. It works fine as expected and with the extensive warranty I feel that I have invested in a useful test instrument. The only thing I would have liked is a proper carrying case (ie not just a pouch, something that holds the power supply and lead as well) but the box it comes in is quite sturdy and will serve well for the time being.

I use many devices every day, this camera meets my requirements, it is precise, fast and easy to use. Very good price-performance ratio. Good support from the manufacturer, the first one turned out to be factory defective, I received a new and functional one quickly and efficiently. I am very satisfied, I highly recommend a good purchase.

Clear images, multiple ranges and settings to choose from and approximately 75% cheaper than a well known leading brand. Maybe instructions could be made easier to understand.

It’s an ok, bit of tech but only as look and see. To get accurate readings we had to fully expose pipes to make accurate assessment. Very basic but good -; if you only need a vague idea what’s going on thermally.

Don’t use it much but I love gadgets and wanted something like this for a long time. It’s fun watching the central heating warm up in the winter. It’s just fun watching temperature of anything change. I haven’t tested the accuracy as I don’t really need to.

I’m no expert in this but it works well to assess if/where the house is loosing heat.

It was time to replace my iPhone Flur and after doing quite a lot of research, I decided to buy this one. The battery life is so much better than the flur, it is nice to hold and rugged with a built in lens protector.

Whilst i haven't used it for anything important yet, the ease of use and quality feel of the item is excellent. The sensitivity is incredible, allowing me to "see my footprints" after walking on carpet! I'm looking forward to use it on something important like PCB repair or insulation!
