Mini2 V2 Thermal Camera, iOS/Android, 512x384 SuperIR | USB-C/Lightning, 25Hz,256x192 IR, Phone/Tablet/PC, Home & HVAC & Electrical

The HIKMICRO Mini2 V2 Thermal Camera has genuinely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I started using it, I was impressed by how intuitive and easy it is to operate – the compact design makes it incredibly convenient to carry around and use on the go. The thermal imaging quality is excellent for a device of this size. It delivers clear, detailed visuals that make identifying heat signatures simple and precise, even in low-light or pitch-dark conditions. Whether I’m using it for outdoor adventures, home maintenance checks, or spotting hidden heat sources, it performs consistently well. Overall, the HIKMICRO Mini2 V2 is a brilliant compact thermal camera that combines performance, portability and ease of use. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly thermal imaging tool.

A very compact and easy to use product. As others have said, surprisingly good resolution at this price point and a big improvement over the Flir product I used to have (until its internal battery failed prematurely). As soon as I tried it out for the first time, I discovered that half of our underfloor heating was off!

I ordered the Mini2v2 after trying the Mini2Plusv2 and finding it too telescopic. The wider-angle Mini2v2 better suits my usage. I suppose my one criticism of this model is that the fixed-focus Mini2v2 isn't as good as the manual-focus Plus model, resulting in lower resolution photos lacking detail. Photos with a greater thermal difference look sharper than those with less variation. Getting closer to the subject helps the resolution. The app seems really good but there are a few issues regarding auto-rotation - if the thermal camera is at the bottom or on the left (in landscape) it is ok, but if the phone is rotated upside down or held with the camera on the right, the hot\cold temperature points are out of sync. The only text onscreen that rotates correctly is the A on the temperature slider. You can turn off auto rotation on the phone but that introduces other rotation issues. One feature of the app I do like is the ability to set the upper or lower temperatures, or both, so that it becomes obvious which areas are below a set temperature, graying out the higher ranges. Overall very pleased with the camera, just wish it had slightly higher clarity.

Does exactly what it says. Customisable with appearance and range in app. Connects Everytime, very useful. Just as capable as units that are more expensive

Easy app and great quality thermal images! Easily connects to my iPhone and is a nice compact size. Comes with attachments too. You will immediately start “playing” with this and experimenting what things look like from a thermal point of view. E.g. what is my cat/dog body temperature, or looking around your house for all the cold spots.

The thermal camera has been very helpful at tracing heat related things. I've added a few pictures to illustrate how it's been able to detect radiator pipes within walls, under hardwood floors, under carpet. It's also shown colder spots on a radiator. Also it shows the cold section with the loft hatch and also an unexpected couple of cold sections in the ceiling. The device itself is tiny, but a doddle to plug in and use. The periodic self-calibration is helpful to keep temperature indicators in check. It's easy to set thresholds for upper/lower temperatures. I'm really glad I went for the higher resolution this camera delivers - it's very helpful. You don't need to have it as picture-in-picture mode, but I find it useful for keeping images afterwards. I have zero complaints about this device.

I purchased this when I owned an iPhone 14 Pro. Since upgrading to the iPhone 17, it no longer works, as the device reports that it draws too much power. As a result, my only option is to use it with my iPad. Buyers should be aware and check compatibility with their device before purchasing. There is a feature that overlays the thermal (IR) image with a visual outline from the phone camera. In practice, this works with mixed results. As the phone/iPad camera is offset from the IR sensor, the images become increasingly misaligned at closer distances, requiring frequent manual adjustment. In conclusion, the device is acceptable and performs its basic function, but I wish I had invested slightly more in either a dedicated unit (that does not rely on a smartphone) or a FLIR camera. Having used FLIR products previously, I found their usability and image quality to be noticeably superior.

Purchases following a recommendation from a friend after a bad experience with a slightly cheaper dedicated handheld camera. This is awesome. Simple app, great quality and so convenient. Allowed me to swiftly trace heating pipe runs in a large old property I'd just moved in to and to diagnose a variety of old plumbing fails.

Very good quality. Fast thermal image and good pixel density.

👍👍👍

The HIKMICRO Mini2 is a great little thermal camera and works exactly as expected. The packaging was excellent, and the product arrived safely in perfect condition.

*** edit x2!! see below. At first I thought I had a dud, usimf a samsumg s22 the picture was all fuzzy, pixelated but you could see the thermal part was working. Was about to return it, then tested with my android tablet and wow! Works fine, Uninstalled the app from the phone, re-installed and now all working great on both devices. The temp accuracy seems very good from a few tests I have done. The fuzzy crap came back, tested on 3 devices. Tried factory reset, tried uninstall/reinstall of the app. Seems to point to failing hardware which sucks, since I wanted to use it while looking for a new home. And of course it fails when I need to use it. I'll see if they will swap it but its been 3 months. Will see if any warranty. *** update 2. The company reached out and took a look at my issue and is replacing the unit!! Wow, was not expecting that! I will be happy to have a working unit again, while the broken was working it was great and very accurate with heat readings. This level of customer support deserves 5 stars. Great job! You have kept a customer and i will be sure to tell others when they ask about this device. I added a picture of when it was working of my laptop and you can see an echo dot glowing too.

Sto testando la qualità di termocamere a basso costo e così ho acquistato e provato la Mini2 V2 della HIKMICRO. Io ho un IPHONE 13 e le termocamere che si collegano ai cellulari IOS non sono molte: tuttavia questa é una di quelle. L'installazione é rapida, basta scaricare dall'Apple Store la APP ed installarla. Una volta attivata la App, e selezionato il tipo di termocamera, la si infila nella presa lightning e la termocamera si attiva all'istante. La risoluzione é molto buona: 256 x 192 IR di base che può essere migliorata attivando l'opzione SuperIR. Attraverso le funzioni contenute nell'App HIKMICRO Viewer si possono gestire i settaggi di base e anche altre funzioni aggiuntive a mio parere molto utili. Utilizzando l'App si possono effettuare delle modifiche in post-produzione cambiando alcuni settaggi. A mio parere questa piccola termocamere può essere utilizzata anche a scopi professionali per una indagini preliminare e la sua portabilità la rende davvero utile. Io utilizzo anche termocamere di fascia alta, quindi termocamere professionali ad alta risoluzione e ad alte prestazioni e quindi sono ben consapevole che indagini termografiche più accurate, specialmente in caso di contenziosi, non si possano fare con strumenti di questo tipo. E poi la competenza del tecnico termografo é fondamentale. La valutazione che do su questo strumento riguarda questa fascia di mercato e non può che essere una valutazione positiva.
