256px Thermal Imaging & Detection
The TE25 features a 256 × 192 thermal sensor with 12μm pixel pitch and sub-35mK sensitivity, helping distinguish heat signatures against their surroundings.
The 25mm F1.0 objective lens provides a stated detection range of up to 1,200m, making it suitable for observation across varied terrain.
Detection range refers to locating a heat source under suitable conditions, not guaranteed identification at that distance.
Dedicated Thermal Riflescope
Unlike the Thunder clip-on models, the TE25 is a dedicated thermal riflescope with its own eyepiece, reticle system and zeroing functions.
It is designed to be mounted directly to a suitable rifle using compatible mounting hardware.
A compatible rifle mount is required and is not included in the standard package.
Reticles & Zeroing
The TE25 offers 10 reticle choices and 5 zeroing profiles, allowing different configurations to be saved within the device.
Picture-in-picture viewing provides an enlarged image area while retaining the wider view.
The one-shot zeroing function assists with initial sight setup.
Battery & Charging
The Thunder 2.0 TE25 uses a replaceable rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.
HIKMICRO specifies more than 10 hours of operation under stated test conditions, with actual runtime varying according to temperature and enabled functions.
Two rechargeable battery packs and a compatible charger are included, allowing a spare battery to be carried for extended use.
USB-C supports external power and charging.
Recording & Connectivity
- Photo and video recording with audio
- Recoil-activated recording
- 16GB built-in storage
- Picture-in-picture viewing
- Hotspot tracking
