HSFTOOLS HP96 FinderS2-V1 Thermal Imaging Camera, Touchscreen, 240 × 240 Live Super Resolution
Product description
When an inspection calls for finding temperature differences and seeing where they occur, the HSFTOOLS HP96 combines thermal imaging with a visible-light camera. Its 50° field of view supports broad-area scanning, while on-screen temperature markers help draw attention to the hottest, coolest, and center points in the image.
For a closer look at a suspected hot spot, use the thermal view alongside visible scene detail. For an initial scan across a larger area, the wide field of view and live temperature tracking help you survey the scene.

The five viewing modes and eight color palettes let you choose how thermal patterns and visible details appear together. Live Super Resolution enhances the thermal image from its 96 × 96 base resolution to 240 × 240 during viewing and photo capture. The camera also tracks maximum, minimum, and center temperatures in real time. Set custom temperature thresholds to trigger visual or audible alerts when a reading crosses your chosen point.
Tips for day-to-day use
Use the touchscreen to adjust brightness, change image modes and palettes, or set the temperature range. For measurements on materials such as wood or brick, adjust emissivity for the material and set the distance to the object. These controls support more relevant temperature readings across different inspection surfaces.
For a dim area, swipe down to turn on the LED flashlight. The camera also supports live video and audio recording and playback, its built-in storage holds approximately 30,000 standard thermal images or 20 hours of video. Buyer feedback highlights image detail, viewing options, and the ability to locate heat sources, while opinions on battery life and measurement accuracy are mixed.
How to use it
For an electrical inspection, scan the panel in thermal mode to look for temperature differences, then use Fusion, PIP, or Blending to compare those patterns with the visible scene. The real-time temperature markers and threshold alerts add useful context as you move from one area to another. Similar scanning can help investigate pipe leaks or insulation defects.
IntellFault scene recognition is designed to identify water leaks and insulation gaps. To use it, install the latest firmware from the HSFTOOLS website and select “Scene” in the settings. This detection helps flag inspection areas, it does not provide moisture readings. Customers looking for a thermal tool with visual context can use its dual-camera views, while the five image modes also offer flexibility for different inspection preferences.
Practical questions
Can the HP96 measure moisture? No. Its scene recognition can identify water leaks, but the camera does not provide moisture readings.
Which image views are available? Choose Thermal, Visual, Fusion, PIP, or Blending, along with one of eight color palettes, to display thermal and visible information in different ways.
Can it save inspection recordings? Yes. It supports live video and audio recording and playback, with built-in storage for approximately 30,000 standard thermal images or 20 hours of video.
Should you buy it?
The HP96 suits inspections where temperature patterns need to be viewed alongside the physical scene, from checking electrical equipment to investigating possible pipe leaks or insulation gaps. Its touchscreen controls, live temperature tracking, selectable image modes, and scene recognition make it a practical fit for users who want more than a basic thermal-only view.
