02 — Engineered By HIKMICRO
Thermal innovation, engineered to win.
Founded in 2016, HIKMICRO builds the full technology stack in-house, from MESM sensor design and SoC development through to packaging and testing. Rather than assembling off-the-shelf parts. That vertical control is what separates a HIKMICRO device from a generic thermal camera.
It shows in the recognition: the HABROK 4K multi-spectrum binocular’s design earned both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award in 2024, two of the most respected industrial design honours in the world.
2026 marks HIKMICRO’s 10th anniversary as a global leader in smart thermal imaging, celebrated with the launch of SuperScene™, an AI mode that reads a scene in real time, entirely on-device. No cloud. No delay.
