Hikmicro Falcon Pro FQ25 Thermal Imaging Monocular

Hikmicro Falcon Pro FQ25

• 640x512 12 Micron Thermal Sensor
• Wide FOV designed for wildlife ecology
• 1.4x to 11.2x Magnification
• F1.0 25mm Lens
• Up to 1300m detection range
• Sub 20mK NETD thermal sensitivity
• Built in WiFi and recording
• Supplied with 2 Rechargeable Batteries

The new HikMicro Falcon FQ25 Pro Hand Held thermal imager shares the performance specification of the popular Falcon FQ50 Pro but with a 25mm lens. This translates into a considerably wider field of view, making it perfect for wildlife watching, ecology and wildlife surveys.

The Falcon FQ25 Pro is equipped with a highly sensitive 640x512 12-micron Sub 20mk NETD sensor to enable perfect detail recognition with a detection range of up to 1300m. The 1.4x to 11.2x magnification can generate a 31m field of view at 100m.

Capable of detecting minute physical details of the subject, together with detailed information of the surrounding topography, the Falcon FQ25 Pro is capable of building a complete and reliable picture.

The Falcon features a brand new design, an ambidextrous chassis with a highly robust magnesium housing including four buttons that control all functions with ease, even in total darkness. The unit is powered by a removable 18650 battery with a run time of up to 6 hours making the Falcon a good choice for long periods of observation.

The ergonomically designed eyecup allows for a comfortable view of the large centrally positioned HD OLED screen.

The Falcon is the first HIKMICRO product to offer Image Pro mode. When activated, image pro mode boosts the detail in the image of both the target object and background.

In addition to Image Pro, the Falcon incorporates all the regular software features found in other similar HIK products including a choice of 4 colour pallets, with access to the HIKMICRO Sight app which allows you to stream, control and record from your thermal monocular. The built in 64gb memory also allows you to save images and videos directly to the monocular.

Thermal Imaging Applications & Uses

Thermal imaging, also known as infrared thermography or thermal infrared imaging, is a technology that allows us to capture and visualize the heat radiation emitted by objects, living beings, or the environment. It is based on the principle that all objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit infrared radiation. Here are some common uses of thermal imaging:

1. Industrial and Mechanical Inspections:

   • Detecting overheating electrical components to prevent fires.
   • Identifying faulty equipment and machinery.
   • Monitoring the performance of mechanical systems.

2. Building Inspections:

   • Locating insulation deficiencies and air leaks.
   • Detecting moisture and water damage.
   • Identifying areas with poor insulation or structural issues.

3. Search and Rescue:

   • Locating missing persons in the dark or through smoke.
   • Detecting the heat signature of survivors in disaster scenarios.

4. Military and Defense:

   • Night vision for military operations.
   • Detecting enemy personnel and vehicles.
   • Monitoring border security.

5. Law Enforcement:

   • Identifying suspects in low-light conditions.
   • Locating hidden contraband or weapons.
   • Investigating crime scenes for thermal evidence.

6. Wildlife Observation and Conservation:

   • Tracking and studying wildlife behavior.
   • Monitoring endangered species.
   • Identifying poachers or illegal activities.

7. Firefighting:

   • Locating hotspots and victims in smoke-filled environments.
   • Assessing the intensity and spread of a fire.

8. Medical Imaging:

   • Detecting variations in skin temperature, which can be indicative of certain health conditions.
   • Monitoring blood flow and tissue perfusion.

9. Agriculture:

   • Monitoring crop health and irrigation efficiency.
   • Detecting pests and diseases in crops.
   • Evaluating livestock health.

10. Energy Efficiency:

    • Identifying energy loss in buildings and industrial facilities.
    • Assessing the performance of solar panels and other energy systems.

11. Environmental Studies:

    • Studying climate change effects.
    • Monitoring volcanic activity.
    • Assessing thermal emissions from industrial facilities.

12. HVAC and Building Management:

    • Optimizing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
    • Managing energy consumption in large buildings.

Thermal imaging is a versatile technology that provides valuable information by visualizing temperature variations. It has applications in various fields, helping to enhance safety, efficiency, and the understanding of thermal behaviors in different environments.
