Like any scientific breakthrough, thermal imaging is confidently being introduced into all areas of our life, and this process is also ongoing in the hunting and outdoors industry.


Hunting is more than a hobby. it has become a lifestyle for growing numbers of enthusiasts.The market size of the hunting and trapping sector in the United States reached approximately 890 million U.S. dollars in 2021, reflecting a growth over the previous year's size of 888.5 million U.S dollars.

 

What are the benefits of thermal imaging device?

 

Thermal imaging uses a sensor to convert the radiation into a visible light picture, which is a way to improve the visibility of objects in low visibility environments or even dark environments. it’s an effective form of night-vision technology, with the capability to work in the total absence of any light, and can even work in smoke, fog, smog and haze.

 

Thermal devices do not need light to produce an image. As soon as an animal moves, the heat it gives off makes it visible, even in total darkness and in virtually all weather. The ability to see animals during the day and at night by detecting the tiny differences in the heat given off by different objects in a scene makes the technology very attractive to hunters.

 

How is thermal imaging device applied in hunting activities?

 

Wildlife photography, animal tracking and environmental monitoring are all common uses of thermal imaging technology today. IR devices equipped with smart sensors can be set up and left unmanned in natural habitats, triggering automatically in the presence of nocturnal or otherwise hard-to-spot wildlife. This enables far more comprehensive monitoring of species and behavior in some regions than has previously been possible.

 

In addition, enthusiast spotters and trackers frequently rely on thermal detection to help locate warm-blooded animals in poor visibility, to bypass visual camouflage conditions, or to remain aware of non-targets in hunting or development areas which may otherwise be at risk of harm.

 

CYCLOPS Series Thermal Imaging Monocular


The Cyclops Series brings on-demand thermal surveillance for law enforcement and security professionals as well as outdoor enthusiasts for hunting and recreation.

 

Compact and portable thermal imagers quickly detect objects of interest and boost situational awareness, allowing users to scan fields, forests, and urban environments even in severe weather conditions and challenging environments.

 

ARES Series Thermal Imaging Scope

 

Ares Series thermal imaging scope is one of the most advanced rifle scopes in the market. Its aircraft-grade aluminum design helps it easily deal with various situations in the wild. The Ares series is intended for use on a variety of hunting and sporting weapons, and is effective at close and long ranges irrespective of light and weather conditions, i.e., in total darkness, through smoke, haze, fog, and light rain. Using 12µm detector, 1024 AMOLED display and F/1.0 germanium optics, it can quickly and clearly target preys hundreds of meters away, providing you a perfect aiming experience.
