Even fusion seems to be better than before ...?
And with the PC software: I got a German (!) 1.1.somewhat just a few days before the release of the 1.2.0.xxxx (which turns out as a 1.2.0.3 if installed). And - yeaah - there are blending and image position correction just where I expected them before. Works fine.
Meanwhile, I found out that the vertical alignment issue is more on the left, looks like one of the sensors is tilted (I think the thermal is).
I was not able to connect my Pocket 2 to my MS Surface Pro to get the firmware file into device's root (I had to consult youtube that only the digicap.dav is to be copied - found no written hint neither at the website nor the manuals
Nice to know that the cam can charge in that fast way, but what if I have to connect to get the pics from it?
Nevertheless: with the fresh upgrades really more better.:-+
The question is: is it that much to return it? We are talking about 4-8 cm in a 5m distance. I try to make a demo pic...... looks like one of the sensors is tilted (I think the thermal is).I would talk about that with my reseller.
Before there was a [upgrade] manual in the ZIP-file - maybe they forget to include it for this update.They did. That was the place where I expected it. I have a device which expects a zip file instead of the pure binary, that's why I looked for instructions.
The old firmware was also not adjusting the time when switched off.My Pocket came with the .25 and all files were dated correctly.
My office PC has no issues with the USB connection but you could try to use bluetooth or WLAN.My home PC do not care about USB currents, too. But I blowed a fuse on the mainboard by an accidental short circuit, leading to a dead USB 3 port.
My home PC do not care about USB currents, too. But I blowed a fuse on the mainboard by an accidental short circuit, leading to a dead USB 3 port.... my Pocket2 take 0.46A when hooked up to the PC and 0.82A when hooked to a 1A charger.
Both things should never happen. Many devices cut their current to 500 mA when there are data on the lines.
... my Pocket2 take 0.46A when hooked up to the PC and 0.82A when hooked to a 1A charger.As it should be.
So maybe your model has some issue. I will ask another Pocket2 owner if he can confirm that maybe...Would be fine. But in my experience, the weather outside is more predictable than how much mA a (charging) device on USB will take. With my mobile, that varies from 0,8 to 1,8A - cable, usb output voltage and behavior - all at 5V, no PD, no QC. The mentioned wall plug is a good one and is stable on 5.2V @ 3A. I have a bunch of USB voltage/current meters and will check that next time the battery of the Pocket is at least 30% down. I do not think this is an issue, but we will see.
To be hornest - I got from Hikmicro a M10, B20 and Pocket2 to test for the 2 books I have written about thermography. When I decided to keep the Pocket2 I got a surprisingly great deal.Is there any difference between the B20 and Pocket 2 beside the better screen of the Pocket 2? I think Hikmicro will soon have to release new handhelds (B-series) that also have this 640x480 touchscreen.

Or am I asking too much? ::)
The JPEGs are radiometric - so they contain all measured values and the software can alter and analyse and newly render them als needed. So consider a radiometric JPEG as something like a RAW image.Thats true. But then you always have the need to forcibly load the photos into the software. The photos as they come out of the camera are often sufficient enough without tweaking afterwards. If you then have compression artifacts (which you would also have after saving them with the software) it doesn't look so nice - e.g. for reports.
The images are also upscaled to 640x480 so even PNG would not loop perfectly fine.
What firmware-version do you have?V 5.5.29 build 220909
I set the distance to 30m because the humidity is used to compensate for water in the air blocking IR radiation. The difference between 10% and 90% rel. humidity is the difference between 13.5 and 13.6°C!
Ok, so after using my Pocket 2 for a view days, it randomly crashes/freezes! >:(
The problem always starts with freezing high/low-temperature marker positions and when entering a submenue, the camera stops reacting to touchscreen inputs at all.
I can still hear it making the clicking noise when recalibrating.
To turn it off i have to long-hold the power button.
A really bad experience after a short usage time for such an expensive device.... disappointed about the firmware quality.
I think this small camera is of incredible value, especially its resolution and 25FPS! For this money, Flir has shamefully 7-9 FPS and low resolution.Yes but there are other brands like GuideIR with the PC210 or InfiRay with the C200 which offers the same specs for aprox. 400 EUR...
Those brands like PC210 and InfiRay, I can't be able to buy them in my market, so... I have not tried those, but I'm not sure if thermal characteristics and thermal resolution are in reality same as Hikmicro.I would say the C200 and PC210 deliver a bit sharper images. See: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/guide-pc210-review/ (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/guide-pc210-review/)
I use to watch some videos of Uni-T UTi384H because I would like to have 110k of IR pixels (384 x 288 res) for reasonable money, I watched every video of Uni-T, but their IR meter with that resolution simply can't compare with HikMicro one.I would not see that so - there offering is really great but who need a TIC for almost 1000 EUR without any tool for reporting?!
That was exactly what i did some minutes agoe.... no change :(What's the module-version?
Module V1.0.1.0 Build 220331... that's the trouble-free version!
What is meant with "Module"?
Is that a firmware version or a hardware version?
I hope someone has reported this annoying criticality to the manufacturer in order to have a firmware update soon.As far as I know they are working on it but it could nit hurt to report it again and put a bit core preasure on them to spped things up. As more customer complains they have as faster will things go (at least I hope so).
... windows notification from "autoplay" with the following message: "There is a problem with this unit. Scan the drive and fix it".These are two different things. "autoplay" rules what to do if a storage device is connected. I always deny any actions, btw.
Of course, the scan of the unit doesn't find any errors.
Hikmicro also have a macro lens to offer:Got mine two weeks ago. A lot of bucks for a few cheap items, but it works fine.

Got mine two weeks ago. A lot of bucks for a few cheap items, but it works fine.... it's not about the parts - you can easyly make your own. For the original one there is a setting in the firmware (macro mode) which compensates for the lens and allow you correct temp. measurements.
I know the role of the Autoplay service. ...IMHO it is two things: mount a mass storage and look what to do with it. But this is not important to here.
Naturally, in my case, this annoying message is also present with the "Safely Remove" procedure.Damned.
What is the FW version of your Pocket2?V5.520 build 221029
...maybe we are some days away to a fix.
...maybe we are some days away to a fix.
I hope! The firmware has been removed from the site for over a month...

I am starting to get disappointed about the quality/customer care of Hikmicro.
Fixing such a trivial (yes it is!) issue which is really annoying should not take months!
V5.5.45 is finally available on the siteWhich? https://www.hikmicrotech.com/en_us/support/download-center/firmware-download/ (https://www.hikmicrotech.com/en_us/support/download-center/firmware-download/) lists 5.5.29 from Nov'22
Can any of you who have installed version V5.5.45 give me confirmation of the following bug:Bug confirmed in the latest update. I set the humidity value to 30% and the info of the shot taken was 60%. My guess is HIKMicro won't fix this issue but hopefully I'm wrong and they come out with another update to fix it.
1) In the settings, set a humidity value to any value (except 60%)
2) Take a shot
3) Read the humidity value of the taken shot (e.g. clicking info on the taken shot). It will be wrong (you will always read 60%)
