HIKMICRO BX20 Intrinsically Safe Thermal Camera – 256 × 192 IR Resolution

BX20

The HIKMICRO BX20 Thermal Camera is a compact intrinsically safe handheld thermography camera designed for inspection work in specified hazardous area environments. With ATEX and IECEx certification, 256 × 192 IR resolution and a 2MP visual camera, it helps technicians safely identify hidden faults, heat patterns and temperature differences in demanding industrial applications.

The BX20 measures temperatures from -20°C to 550°C, making it suitable for electrical inspection, mechanical maintenance, process equipment checks, industrial troubleshooting and hazardous area inspection work. The 25Hz image frequency provides smooth thermal viewing, while the 3.2" LCD screen gives users a clear display for everyday field inspections.

With Thermal, Visual, Fusion and PIP image modes, the HIKMICRO BX20 allows users to view thermal information alongside visual reference images. Built-in 16GB memory, USB-C connectivity, IP64 protection, 2m drop test rating and approx. 6 hours battery operating time make it a practical thermal camera for professional maintenance and inspection work in approved hazardous locations.
