Thermal Vision Ecology Webinar

TIMESTAMPS BELOW: Join us for a value-packed webinar on the Thermal Vision Ecology Kit, where we'll explore how FLIR thermal imaging technology is enhancing bat ecology surveys. Our thermal imaging expert, Andrew Milner, will walk you through the powerful, time-saving, accuracy-improving features of our Thermal Ecology Kit.


We will also be joined by Dr. Liat Wicks, a bat specialist and thermographer with over 21 years of in-field experience. By the end of the webinar, you'll have a clear understanding of how the Thermal Vision Ecology Kit can benefit your in-field surveys and how to apply it effectively.


In this webinar, we will cover:

Automated Emergence Detection (even on hot evenings) and flight path tracking. Huge time savers!
How to set up the cameras, including FOV considerations, effective ranges, and the tech supplied with the kit.
Cost-effective and flexible hire plans.
