The HIKMICRO Mini2 V2 is a phone thermal camera: a small module that plugs into an Android or iOS handset over USB and turns it into a thermal imager, with no battery of its own. It sits at number eight in our guide of the best thermal imaging cameras, at £177.65, with a 4.6 rating from 31 ratings.

Its listing is a good example of why the headline number is rarely the number that matters. The title sells "512x384 SuperIR", and the first bullet then explains where that comes from: a 256x192 IR sensor, "enhanced to 512x384" in software, so the sensor itself resolves 256x192 and the larger figure is interpolated — the same arrangement we flagged on the HIKMICRO Eco. The same listing also gives two different weights for one product: 0.71oz (20g) in a bullet, 90 g in the specification table. And it reports 4.6 from 31 ratings, while the star breakdown on the page adds up to 100. Every figure here is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the camera ourselves.

**How accurate is the HIKMICRO Mini2 V2?**
