HIKMICRO THUNDER TQ50CL 4.0 – Thermal Imaging Device with Integrated Laser Rangefinder
The HIKMICRO THUNDER TQ50CL 4.0 combines a 640 × 512-pixel thermal imaging sensor with a 12 μm pixel pitch and a 50 mm F1.0 lens. With a thermal sensitivity of less than 12 mK, a 50 Hz frame rate, and a detection range of up to 2600 m, the device offers extensive capabilities for thermal observation. The field of view is 8.8° × 7.0°, corresponding to 15.4 × 12.2 m at a distance of 100 m.
The 0.49″ OLED display features a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. Available color palettes include Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Red Monochrome, and Green Monochrome. Image quality is further enhanced by HIKMICRO Image Pro 4.0, the HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System (HSIS), and Sync Pro. Both brightness and image tone can be adjusted.
The laser rangefinder, integrated directly into the lens, allows for measurements between 10 and 1200 m. The 905 nm laser is classified as Class 1. The specified measurement accuracy is ±1 m for distances under 400 m and ±0.3 m for distances over 400 m.
For documentation purposes, the device supports photo, video, and audio recording, with 64 GB of internal eMMC storage. Additionally, the TQ50CL 4.0 includes features such as recoil-activated recording, a Wi-Fi hotspot, standby mode, a local gallery, image calibration, and five zeroing profiles. The maximum specified recoil energy is 6000 J.
