HIKMICRO Lynx S LE10S 10 mm Handheld Thermal Imaging Monocular

The HIKMICRO Lynx S LE10S Thermal Imaging Monocular is a compact and lightweight handheld thermal device designed for reliable heat detection in low-light and no-light environments. Combining a sensitive thermal sensor, wide field of view, and wireless connectivity, it delivers dependable thermal performance in a highly portable form factor.

Manufactured by HIKMICRO, the Lynx S LE10S is well suited for outdoor observation, wildlife monitoring, navigation, and general situational awareness where mobility and clarity are essential.

Wide-View Thermal Imaging Performance

The Lynx S LE10S is equipped with a 256 × 192 VOx uncooled thermal sensor featuring a 12 µm pixel pitch and NETD below 35 mK. This enables clear thermal contrast and dependable heat detection even when temperature differences are subtle.

The 10 mm thermal lens provides a wide field of view, making the device particularly effective for scanning forested, enclosed, or complex environments. Thermal detection extends to approximately 750 metres, while a base optical magnification of 1.5×—supported by digital zoom up to 8×—allows flexible observation across short to mid-range distances.

Display and Viewing Experience

Thermal imagery is displayed on a 0.32-inch OLED screen with 800 × 600 resolution and a 50 Hz refresh rate. This ensures smooth image transitions, reduced motion lag, and a comfortable real-time viewing experience during handheld use.

Four selectable thermal colour palettes allow users to adapt image presentation to different environments and preferences, including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, and Fusion. A picture-in-picture (PIP) mode is also available for more precise observation without sacrificing situational awareness.

Recording, Connectivity, and Smart Features

The Lynx S LE10S supports photo capture and video recording, allowing users to document observations directly on the device. Media can be stored and managed easily for later review.

Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity enables real-time streaming, device control, and file transfer through the HIKMICRO Sight app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Users can adjust settings, manage recordings, and perform firmware updates directly from a connected smartphone or tablet.

Portable Design and Power System

The monocular is powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, delivering up to 8 hours of operating time on a single charge. Charging and external power support are provided via a standard USB connection (5V DC, 2A).

Its compact dimensions and lightweight construction make the Lynx S LE10S easy to carry and comfortable to use during extended handheld operation, making it a practical choice for users who prioritise portability.
