Why you wanna change the lens on a dongle?
Especially when it support MF from-the-box.
Honestly, the only issues why i personally don't like and i sold mine: it's a dongle & temperature it's a joke.
But to film, have fun, do solder/examine pcb w/ crazy good macromode it's awesome.
My fav dongle was therm-app bc of lens changing and *personally* i'd say your 160*120 Hik is a joke
T2s+ almost supports lens changing(on iphone rather not) and is supported by more than 1 application(also only on android
) so I'd prefer it. but will wait when they will roll out hd mode and iphone support for t3 lineup.
And i forgot to mention XH09 has one of the worst contact stability of type c port. It makes its tiny size and tight lens thread not that big advantage

Well,
* 160x120 Hik works pretty good for exam/testing purposes, it gives me
radiometric images on handheld format (saved on a microsd card), also it have bigger pixel and great sensivity ("hand on the wall" test video
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQZpsE3MLZYY_dCMzTZ80sKBVtHtQdy3/view ). I can shot anything then open on my PC and get the image i need, for 80€ it outperform Infirays modules for 400 bucks.
* i found XH09 having pretty good type-c in my pixel7, probably yours is pretty dirty so it lose all the time (my old xiaomi's issue).
But after using dongle and having handheld i wanna say: no more dongles for me. Dongles sucks. I.e for gaming purposes or some fun - yeah. But handheld it's solid, long time working, independant + simply better images due better PCB, better space.

Can the 160x120 Hikvision handheld record 25hz video internally? Thanks.
I tried the XH09 at CES. Imaging felt great.
Hello!
I am new here and this is my first post here.
I have some questions relating the X2, well actually its analogue, the E20+.
Firstly, is it safe to connect it to the computer USB, I ask this because I don't know how it manages the power delivery, and if it has some communication that requires the "on the go" stuff, it might damage it.
I know the possibility is remote, but not zero, so it it wont don't hurt to ask. Better safe than sorry and many euros poorer.
Secondly, as I understand, the E20+ and the X2 is more or less analogues, if not down right share same sensor (considering the fab to make the sensor is usually outside the pocketbook of midsize companies to run and get the needed economy of scale) and differ in control logic or/and firmware. If so, the I/O should still have some universal features that would lend it to be used with some universal Win/Linux app... with some tweaking. Is there any floating around worth a shot? I would like to use mine E20+ in a project that needs the flexibility that phone app just cant provide. However, I am still novice in electronics and programming, so instead of learning how to invent a wheel, I like to shake proverbial "geek tree" and see what falls down.
Thank you in advance.

it's a cheap covid cam, nope.
Does anyone here know if this enumerates as a linux video device natively? Like in /dev/videoX?
I read through the SDK and it looks like it is _probably_ a UVC or V4L2 compatible camera but I wanted to ask to see if anyone knows for sure.
Is the XH15 available to purchase yet? I can't seem to find it. Supposedly they showed it off at CES, but I don't see anything related to it.
Has anyone got theirs to work on Linux? I had a cheaper 25hz aliexpress thermal to work with a pi zero 2w using python3 scripts from this forum. The lens did not work well for the project I am trying to adapt it to--so I upgraded to the new cam. However, I cant get the XH09 to work. The Xh09 will only display static for a moment and then turn a solid grey color on the display.
I am looking for the pi zero 2w to process the data and display it to a comp out video. I am looking to keep it at 50hz with minimal lag.
This is the code being used:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import cv2
import numpy as np
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--device", type=int, default=0, help="Video Device number e.g. 0, use v4l2-ctl --list-devices")
args = parser.parse_args()
if args.device:
dev = args.device
else:
dev = 0
#init video
cap = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video'+str(dev), cv2.CAP_V4L)
#cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB,False)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB,0.0)
#we need to set the resolution here why?

Yep, force your image to not use the sensor data. use 256*192 and not the 256*384 sensor data. If you use 256*384 it spergs out
I have tried embarrassingly long to implement your advice and get it to work; however, I can't seem to get it to work. I have systemically worked through the code, but only to further break it. I don't really know what I am doing as I have been just reading the blogs and trying to copy/paste codes until I figure it out. Do you mind elaborating on what I need to do?
Anyone here uses this camera for electronics reparing?
Experience?
I think this could work, but it seems there are better ones for up close work. They are both cheaper and have macro lenses. Several are available on Aliexpress that would probably be a better choice for you as this is more for outdoor use with a focus lens that is designed for that. Try checking out the P2 Pro
