The largest sensor in the database has 327 680 points.
Published by the manufacturer
A brand dedicated to board repair. Unlike every other manufacturer in this comparison, Qianli does not do building thermography. Its devices are used exclusively to locate a short circuit, a current leak, or an abnormally hot component on a circuit board.
Essentially no measurement documentation. Neither NETD, nor accuracy, nor field of view, nor emissivity setting are published. For a brand targeting a use case built around comparing component temperatures, that's a major gap. The "95% Relative Temperature" note found on retailer listings has no known metrological meaning.

Observations
A minimum focus distance of 2 mm. By far the shortest in the comparison, versus 100 mm for a FLIR C5 and 30 mm for a HIKMICRO macro lens. The optics adjust from 2 mm to infinity.
Designed to mount on a repair microscope via an articulating arm and a screw-on USB-C connector. It's the only device in this comparison built for that specific use.
Measurement range limited to -20/120°C. Fine for electronics, unusable for anything else.
The optics are natively macro. No extra accessory to buy, unlike HIKMICRO's B and Pocket series, which require a lens costing around €100. In exchange, the device can't do anything else.
Trade-specific functions. Current-leak localization, relief-style rendering of thermal distribution, zone comparison, and high-temperature alarm tracking.
The saved file is 640 × 480 while the sensor measures 256 × 192. The image is upsampled at the storage stage, which adds no information.
