HIKMICRO AI56 Acoustic Imaging Camera
SKU code: AI56
Secure Payment Methods
See the sound that’s costing you money and risking uptime. The HIKMICRO AI56 turns invisible problems—compressed air and gas leaks, plus early-stage electrical faults—into clear, actionable visuals. A dense 64-element low-noise MEMS microphone array localises sound sources in real time, so your team can find and fix issues fast. With its 2 kHz–65 kHz bandwidth and 0.3–100 m working distance, the AI56 delivers dependable detection in noisy plants and large spaces.
Unlike traditional point-and-listen tools, the AI56 overlays acoustic intensity on a digital picture, automatically estimating leak rate, leak cost, and leak severity so you can prioritise the biggest savings. For power and electrical assets, the AI56 also recognises corona, floating, surface, and particle partial discharges (50/60 Hz), helping you pinpoint insulation breakdown before it becomes downtime.
Why maintenance teams choose AI56
- Dual-purpose power: one tool for gas/compressed-air leaks and partial discharge on high-voltage gear.
- Quantified savings: real-time estimates for leak rate and cost let you build a rock-solid ROI case.
- Fast, visual decisions: 4.3″ LCD touchscreen (800×480) with 8 acoustic palettes; 1–8× continuous digital zoom.
- Field-ready and simple: approx. 3.5 h swappable Li-ion battery; 64 GB SD storage (≈20,000 images / 60 h video); Wi-Fi, BT, USB-C, HDMI; 1.2 m drop; −20 °C to 50 °C.
Where it excels
Manufacturing & processing: hunt down compressed-air losses in manifolds, fittings, lines, and pneumatic tools. Utilities & substations: scan switchgear, busbars, and transformers for PD. Oil & gas / chemicals: inspect for pressurised leaks from safer standoffs. Food, beverage & pharma: maintain clean gas systems and document fixes for compliance.
Benefits you can measure
- Lower energy spend: identify costly leaks and quantify savings instantly.
- Avoid unplanned outages: PD detection highlights risk before failure strikes
- Shorter inspections: acoustic imaging dramatically speeds surveys vs. legacy methods
- Clear documentation: Analyzer Acoustic software analyses imagery and exports reports for audits & CMMS records
