The HIKMICRO HIKTac TC19 is a next-generation thermal sight designed specifically for airsoft, where every second, every movement, and every advantage can determine the outcome of the game. Unlike traditional thermal sights, the HIKTac series is designed with a focus on maximum image smoothness, minimal lag, and lightning-fast detection of moving targets—even in complete darkness, fog, smoke, or dense vegetation.
The TC19 model combines a highly sensitive 256×192 VOx thermal sensor with a pixel size of 12 μm, a high-quality 19 mm F1.0 lens, and industry-leading NETD sensitivity of <18 mK. This allows the device to detect extremely small temperature differences and clearly display human silhouettes that remain virtually invisible to standard optical devices.
The HSIS (HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System), Sync Pro, Image Pro 3.0, and Zoom Pro systems work together to provide a continuous thermal image without freezing, minimal lag, and excellent target recognition at both close and long ranges. Combined with a large 3.1-inch AMOLED display, a minimum focusing distance of just 1 meter, and a weight of less than 260 grams, the HIKTac TC19 offers exceptionally comfortable viewing even during extended Airsoft games.

Advantages of the HIKTac TC19
NETD <18 mK – detect the enemy before they spot you
At the heart of the HIKTac TC19 is its highly sensitive thermal sensor with a NETD sensitivity of less than 18 mK. This means the device detects extremely small temperature differences that many other thermal devices fail to visualize. Even when the game takes place in complete darkness, fog, smoke, or dense vegetation, human silhouettes remain clearly distinguishable, allowing for faster enemy detection and a quicker response.
HSIS and Sync Pro – continuous, uninterrupted imaging
During a dynamic Airsoft game, any interruption in the image can mean losing visual contact with a moving target. That is why HIKMICRO has developed its own HSIS (HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System) technology, which eliminates the characteristic image freezing observed in many thermal devices.
Combined with the Sync Pro algorithm, the image remains smooth, and what’s happening in front of the device is displayed almost instantly on the screen. This allows for continuous tracking of moving targets without annoying interruptions, enabling the player to react more quickly in any situation.
Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro – Maximum Image Detail at Any Distance
Prolonged observation with thermal imaging equipment often leads to eye strain, especially when the image contains too much visual noise. The Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro algorithms analyze the image in real time, enhancing contrast, detail, and target outlines. The result is a clearer, more balanced, and more comfortable image for both close-up and long-range observations.
3.1-inch AMOLED display for more comfortable viewing
The HIKTac TC19 features a large 3.1-inch AMOLED display that allows for a more natural viewing experience without having to press your eye tightly against the device. This significantly reduces eye strain during prolonged use, and the larger view makes it easier to identify both targets and the surrounding environment.
Minimum focusing distance of just 1 meter
Airsoft scenarios often take place in confined spaces, buildings, and dense vegetation, where an opponent can appear literally just a few steps away. Thanks to a minimum focusing distance of just 1 meter and a field of view of 9.2° × 6.5°, the HIKTac TC19 provides a clear image even at close range, without requiring the player to change position.
Instant Screen-Off – Stay Undetected with a Single Press
The light from the display can give away a player’s position during nighttime Airsoft scenarios. That’s why the HIKMICRO HIKTac TC19 features the Instant Screen-Off function, which allows the display to be turned off instantly with just one press of the power button. This eliminates the visible light that could reveal your location without requiring you to turn off the device itself. If necessary, the display can be reactivated in a fraction of a second.
Lightweight design and removable battery for long gaming sessions
Weighing less than 260 grams, the HIKTac TC19 places virtually no strain on your airsoft platform and allows for extended use without fatigue. The device operates on a removable and rechargeable battery, allowing you to swap the battery in the field and keep the game going without a long interruption.
Wi-Fi Connectivity and the HIKMICRO SIGHT App
Thanks to its 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection, the HIKTac TC19 connects wirelessly to the HIKMICRO SIGHT App. Through the app, you can easily transfer photos and videos, share your best moments with friends or the community, and manage various settings directly from your mobile device.
Killflash lens protection
One of the unique features of the HIKTac series is the special Killflash lens protection. It was developed specifically for airsoft and serves to dissipate the energy from BB pellet impacts, reducing the risk of direct damage to the germanium lens. Additionally, the design minimizes reflections from the front lens, reducing the likelihood that the player’s position will be detected.
IP67 Protection for Operation in All Conditions
The HIKTac TC19 is built for use in real-world field conditions. IP67 certification ensures reliable protection against dust, heavy rain, and adverse weather conditions, so the device continues to operate reliably regardless of terrain and weather.
Quick Mount on a Picatinny Rail
The HIKMICRO HIKTac TC19 is designed for quick and secure mounting on a standard Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rail. Thanks to the quick-mount system, the device can be easily attached to or removed from an Airsoft replica, making it convenient for transport, storage, or use as a handheld thermal camera. Once secured, the sight remains firmly in place even during dynamic gameplay scenarios.
