Hikmicro Sdk Site
HIKMICRO, a subsidiary of Hikvision specializing in thermal imaging, provides a variety of Software Development Kits (SDKs) and APIs to integrate thermal and thermographic features into third-party applications. These tools are primarily managed through the Hikvision Technology Partner Program (TPP) Available Integration Tools

- GigE Vision Standardization: For industrial automation, Hikmicro is moving its machine vision cores to the GigE Vision standard. This will allow compatibility with third-party software like Halcon and Cognex without a proprietary Hikmicro SDK.
- HTTP REST API for IP Cameras: Newer security-focused thermal bullets are dropping proprietary SDKs in favor of ONVIF Profile T (for thermal) and simple HTTP API commands for temperature retrieval.
- Cloud SDK: Hikmicro is testing a cloud-based SDK (WebRTC) to allow remote thermal streaming via a browser plugin, eliminating the need for local Windows binaries.
ISAPI Commands:
Many thermal functions can be accessed via HTTP API ( http://camera_ip/ISAPI/Thermal/... ). The SDK simply wraps these calls. For example: HIKMICRO, a subsidiary of Hikvision specializing in thermal
- Pan, tilt, zoom speeds.
- Autofocus and manual focus control.
- Preset setting and calling (e.g., "Preset 1: Substation north fence").
