The thermal imaging technology has made significant progress in recent years, and companies are constantly competing with new and improved devices. We took a closer look at the thermal imaging cameras of the ThermTec brand, distributed in Germany through the wholesaler Lippejagd, and extensively tested the models 325 Pro, 335 Pro, as well as 640D and 650D in the field. In this article, you will learn what makes these high-tech devices so special.

ThermTec is a relatively new player in the German thermal imaging technology market, offering various handheld devices under the Cyclops brand. The Cyclops series from ThermTec is characterized by innovative features such as AI-supported distance measurement and outstanding outdoor suitability. Furthermore, ThermTec has made another technological leap forward by introducing the Cyclops D series, which enables true optical zoom in these cameras.

The company ThermTec was founded in 2011 and has quickly developed into a leading company in the development and production of thermal imaging systems. The company is based in Hangzhou, China, and supplies customers worldwide. In Germany, distribution is handled through the wholesale partner Lippejagd.

The Cyclops series from ThermTec stands at the forefront of thermal imaging technology. These devices are known not only for their technical features but also for their user-friendliness. The VOx detector with 12µm pitch and the OLED display provide sharp images. The battery life of up to 12 hours allows for effective use in the field.

An overview of the tested models:

ThermTec Cyclops 325 Pro - Equipped with a 25mm lens and a 384x288 pixel, 12µm VOx detector. The temperature sensitivity is ≤25mk@300k. (RRP 1,590 Euros)

ThermTec Cyclops 335 Pro - Similar specifications to the 325 Pro, but with a 35mm lens. (RRP 1,849 Euros)

ThermTec Cyclops 640D - With a 20/40 F1.0 dual-FOV lens and a 640x512 pixel, 12µm VOx detector. The temperature sensitivity is also ≤25mk@300k. (RRP 2,659 Euros)

ThermTec Cyclops 650D - The flagship of the series with a 25/50 F1.0 dual-FOV lens. (RRP 3,099 Euros)

All models feature a high-resolution AMOLED display with 1,024x768 pixels and offer electronic image stabilization as well as various image modes and color palettes.

The ThermTec handheld devices allow for photo and video recording as well as sharing images and videos via apps. They support Wi-Fi and hotspot connections with real-time image transmission and app notifications. Additionally, they have an integrated GPS function.

A remarkable innovation is the integrated AI rangefinder, which can automatically identify up to six animals or people. The distance to the detected objects is displayed in real-time. This is particularly useful for hunters in dynamic situations.

Another AI feature is object recognition, where users receive real-time notifications when an object enters the camera's field of view. These notifications include information about the distance and type of the detected object.

The integration of artificial intelligence into the ThermTec Cyclops devices shows that the company is at the forefront of technological innovation. Thermal imaging technology is evolving, and ThermTec is committed to providing users with the most advanced tools available.

In summary, the ThermTec Cyclops thermal imaging cameras offer an impressive combination of functionality, user-friendliness, and performance. They are robust, have a long battery life
