The HIKMICRO LYNX LE15 3.0 is a compact thermal monocular designed for real-world usability: lightweight, fast to deploy, and built to deliver clear thermal information without complexity.

It features a 256×192 VOx sensor (12μm) paired with a 15 mm F1.0 lens, offering a strong balance between field of view and detection capability. Detection reaches up to 750 meters, with base magnification 2.2x expandable to 17.6x digital.

Thermal performance is supported by NETD < 20 mK, HSIS shutterless system, and Image Pro 3.0, ensuring smooth and continuous viewing without noticeable calibration interruptions.

The 0.39" AMOLED 1024×768 display delivers a clean image, while the 11.7° × 8.8° field of view is optimized for mid-range observation and target detection.
