HIKMICRO Lynx Pro LH19 Thermal Monocular

The HIKMICRO Lynx Pro LH19 Thermal Monocular is a mid-range handheld thermal imaging device designed for clear heat detection and reliable observation in low-visibility and no-light environments. By combining a sensitive thermal sensor, manually adjustable optics, and a high-resolution display, it delivers dependable thermal performance while maintaining a compact and portable form.

Manufactured by HIKMICRO, the Lynx Pro LH19 is well suited for patrol work, search and rescue operations, navigation, outdoor exploration, and general thermal scanning where extended detection distance and image clarity are required.

Thermal Imaging Performance and Detection Capability

The Lynx Pro LH19 is equipped with a 384 × 288 VOx uncooled thermal sensor featuring a 12 µm pixel pitch and a NETD rating of less than 35 mK. This high-sensitivity sensor enables clear thermal contrast and dependable target separation, even when temperature differences are minimal.

A 19 mm F1.0 lens provides a balanced field of view while extending detection capability beyond shorter focal length models. Thermal detection reaches up to approximately 900 metres, making the LH19 effective for mid- to long-range observation. A base optical magnification of 1.86×, supported by digital zoom up to 8× (14.88× total), allows flexible viewing across a wide range of distances.

A manually adjustable objective lens enables precise focus control, ensuring optimal image sharpness for both close-range and distant targets.

Display and Viewing Experience

Thermal imagery is displayed on a 0.4-inch LCOS screen with a resolution of 1280 × 960, delivering clear image detail and smooth rendering during handheld use. A 50 Hz refresh rate supports real-time observation with reduced motion blur while scanning.

Multiple thermal colour palettes are available to adapt to different environments and viewing preferences, including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, and Fusion modes. Flat Field Correction (FFC) is supported in Auto, Manual, and External modes to maintain image consistency as ambient temperatures change.

Recording, Connectivity, and Smart Functions

The Lynx Pro LH19 supports both photo capture and video recording, allowing thermal images and footage to be stored directly on the device for later review.

Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity enables real-time image sharing, device control, and file transfer through a compatible mobile application. Users can manage zoom levels, recording functions, and image review directly from a connected smartphone or tablet.

Power System and Rugged Design

The monocular is powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, providing up to approximately 7.5 hours of operating time on a single charge. This supports extended field use without frequent recharging.

Designed for outdoor reliability, the Lynx Pro LH19 features an IP67-rated housing, offering protection against dust, heavy rain, and temporary water immersion.
