The range of monoculars and binoculars combine rugged designs with intuitive controls and excellent quality thermal imaging, which is ideal for low-light and no-light conditions.
We’ve listed the key specifications for current HikMicro thermal imaging products, which are available at Park Cameras. These include monoculars and binoculars, with varying sensor resolutions, detection range, magnification, and features such as laser rangefinders and OLED displays.
These tables will help you identify which model suits your specific use case – whether that’s surveying large areas, tracking wildlife activity in woodland, or monitoring land boundaries in complete darkness.
