Thermal Vision Ecology Kit
As seen at the Ecology Tech Conference, the South East England Bat Conference and the East of England Bat Conference.
The Thermal Vision Ecology Kit enables automated bat emergence detection and flight tracking during bat emergence surveys. It reduces observer fatigue, saves hours in post-survey analysis, and provides consistent, high-quality thermal data across survey sites.
Supplied with a tablet, software, tripod, and choice of lens, the kit streamlines workflows and boosts quality of reporting.
Included: Thermal Camera, Windows Tablet, Software, Tripod, Battery, Power Cables, Carry Case - see full list below.
Designed specifically for bat surveys and including everything you need for recording and analysing radiometric survey data.
By saving hours on the analysis by using the included software, this kit is extremely cost-effective and frees ecologists to do more surveys without having to sit through hours of video each time.
This kit is a game-changer for those who'd rather not sit in front of a screen wading through hours of video from each camera. One camera, with the right lens, can cover large areas, or even complete buildings.
With tracking capability, you can view flight-paths of bats as they leave, or enter, their roosts.
Invest in this amazing package and save both time and money in the longer term.
The Cameras
The A700 and A70 cameras provide a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

The A70 camera comes with manual focus and a fixed lens of either 51° or 95°.
The Tablet
The kit comes with a rugged Windows 11 tablet with software to record your survey and powerful features like Track & Detect for analysis.
Power and cables
You’ll get a battery, which will last for 5 hours after a full charge.
Ethernet and PoE cables and POE plug.
All you need to do is plug them in and go!
Tripods
The kit includes a suitable tripod.
Bag
All your kit including the tripod, battery and camera will fit in the supplied backpack.
The Software
Using the powerful Research Studio Pro software gives you access to features designed to maximise your survey analysis efficiency.
You can set up Flight Path Tracking to monitor all movement on screen, high sensitivity mode to ensure you don’t miss any events, and combine the two for automated emergence detection.
High Sensitivity
High sensitivity mode ensures you’ll never miss bat activity – even when the temperature of the surrounding buildings and their internal temperatures are matched.
Track flight paths from a greater distance and pick out movement from behind vegetation or foliage with higher accuracy.
