Its 640 × 480 infrared detector, SuperIR image enhancement, 50 Hz image frequency, and multiple focus modes help technicians capture clear thermal detail across a wide range of inspection tasks. The 25° × 19° field of view, 8 MP visual camera, touchscreen interface, and advanced measurement tools make it easier to identify issues quickly and document findings clearly.

With inspection route support, radiometric image capture, video recording, annotation tools, wireless connectivity, HDMI output, GPS, compass, laser distance measurement, hot-swappable battery support, and rugged field-ready construction, the G61 is a strong choice for HVAC, electrical, mechanical, building, industrial, oil and gas, power generation, utility, and predictive maintenance applications.

G61 vs G61H – What Is the Difference?

The HIKMICRO G61 and G61H are very similar in camera platform, image quality, and inspection features. Both models use a 640 × 480 infrared detector, SuperIR image enhancement up to 1280 × 960, 50 Hz image frequency, 25° × 19° field of view, 8 MP visual camera, 4.3" touchscreen, multiple focus modes, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, HDMI, GPS, compass, laser distance measurement, and professional reporting features.

The main difference is the temperature measurement range. The standard G61 is designed for general professional thermography with measurement up to 650°C, making it suitable for HVAC, electrical, mechanical, building, utility, and standard industrial inspection work.

The G61H is the high-temperature version, extending measurement capability up to 2000°C. This makes it the better choice for furnace inspection, kiln monitoring, refractory inspection, foundries, metal processing, boilers, burners, and other high-temperature industrial applications.

In simple terms, choose the G61 for high-resolution general inspection work, and choose the G61H when the application requires very high-temperature measurement above the standard 650°C range.
