The Guide TE211 is a pocketable thermal scanner under $600 — a 256 × 192 12 μm sensor with 30 mK NETD in a hand-sized chassis you can carry in a coat pocket without notice. At $549 it's the entry into 12 μm thermal capability, sized for property checks, livestock monitoring, and short-range hunting where detection (not long-range identification) is the job.

Key Features

• 256 × 192 @ 12 μm sensor with 30 mK NETD — finer pixel pitch than 17 μm sensors at this price tier
• 10 mm F1.0 lens with 1.2x – 4.8x magnification — wide native FOV (17.5° × 13.1°) for fast scanning
• 500 m / 550 yd man-target detection — sized for under-200-yard hunting and property work
• 0.32" 800 × 600 AMOLED display — sharper than typical entry monocular displays
• Built-in battery, ~6-hour runtime with 10-minute quick charge — 1 hour of operation from a 10-minute boost when you're heading out
• WiFi (2.4G + 5G hotspot) + Bluetooth + TargetIR app — companion app for media transfer and viewing on phone
• IP67 weather sealing — handles rain, dew, and dust
• Pocket-sized handheld form factor — fits in a jacket pocket; no harness or pack space required

Ideal For

• Property owners and ranchers scanning fence lines, outbuildings, and barns at night
• Livestock guards doing quick herd checks without committing to a full optics setup
• Predator hunters working close range — coyote, raccoon, hog at under 200 yards where wide FOV beats long-range detail
• Buyers who want their first thermal optic at under $600 without sacrificing finer 12 μm pixel pitch

Accessories & Compatibility

• TargetIR app pairs via WiFi for media transfer and remote viewing
• 10-year manufacturer warranty backed by Guide's US-based repair center in Texas
