Many developers ask if they need the "hot" SDK or if they can just use ONVIF Profile T (for thermal).
Biologists use HIKMICRO handhelds to track nocturnal animals. Using the SDK, researchers have built custom data-collection apps that tag thermal images with GPS coordinates and behavioral notes, streamlining the research workflow in the field.
The SDK allows you to set an Isotherm (a color overlay for specific temperature ranges). You can programmatically ask the SDK: "Where is the hottest pixel in the frame right now?" hikmicro sdk hot
Typical Code Flow (Pseudocode):
// Initialize SDK HIKMICRO_Init();// Connect to camera via IP or USB HANDLE hCamera = HIKMICRO_Connect("192.168.1.64"); Many developers ask if they need the "hot"
// Start live streaming (the "Hot" link) HIKMICRO_StartLiveView(hCamera, callback_function);
// In the callback, retrieve max temperature float maxTemp; POINT hotSpot; HIKMICRO_GetMaxTemperature(hCamera, &maxTemp, &hotSpot); The SDK allows you to set an Isotherm
printf("Hottest point: %.2f °C at (%d, %d)", maxTemp, hotSpot.x, hotSpot.y);
