Thermal Imaging Cameras

Specifically designed to detect heat/infrared energy, thermal cameras have proven useful across an array of sectors as disparate as utilities, construction, and manufacturing. In previous blogs, we have talked extensively about how thermal cameras can be used to rescue stray or lost animals, monitor species populations, and improve farming conditions. Now, thermal cameras are being used to monitor the emotional and physical well-being of competition horses and animals employed as part of tourist attractions. Discover how infrared imagers have been used to detect emotional stress in reindeer and learn how they were deployed to monitor horses for heat stress at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In September 2024, a renegade rodent dominated local news and radio stations (including BBC Radio 1!). Cinnamon, a juvenile capybara born at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Shropshire, escaped captivity to live what the zoo described as “her best life” in nearby woodland. Live traps, on-foot searches, and thermal imaging were all used to try and recapture Cinnamon before she wandered onto neighbouring MoD (Ministry of Defence) land. After a week of monitoring, tracking, and holding their breath, zoo staff finally reunited Cinnamon with her mother, father, and brother Churro.[1] Continue reading →

Earlier this year, Stanley, a feline Swindon resident, sparked a rescue mission when he disappeared from his family home. Concerned for the cat’s welfare, builders working at Stanley's house quickly turned their tools towards finding him. This included a thermal imaging camera usually deployed to locate damp patches. Thanks to the thermal camera, Stanley was eventually discovered sleeping soundly beneath the floorboards.[1] Continue reading →

The Environmental Services Association (ESA) estimates that fires fuelled by erroneously recycled lithium-ion batteries cost UK fire services and waste operators £158 million a year![1] In addition to being economically and environmentally costly, recycling centre fires pose a danger to staff and those in the surrounding areas. However, there is a simple, safe, price-attractive solution to spotting and preventing recycling plant fires before they ignite. FLIR’s A-Series Automation Thermal Cameras identify and alert operatives to hotspots, allowing professionals to take corrective action before sparks form. Discover how FLIR automation thermal cameras can revolutionise your recycling centre fire prevention program. Continue reading →

Despite optimisation for outdoor applications such as ecological investigations and conservation efforts, the FLIR Scout TKx Thermal Imaging Monocular has proven an invaluable security tool, particularly within the industrial and petrochemical sectors. Companies are not only accountable for protecting their assets but their employees too. In fact, employers are legally responsible for safeguarding the health, safety, and welfare of all their staff, including security personnel.[1] This is where the thermal power, ergonomics, and simplicity of the FLIR Scout TKx can be leveraged to great effect. A portable, easy-to-use FLIR thermal security camera, the Scout TKx detects and illustrates heat sources within a scene; therefore, making it easier to identify potential issues such as overheating equipment, animal intrusions, or human trespassing. Consequently, improved situational awareness protects both your assets and security staff from attack. Discover why the FLIR Scout TKx is an essential thermal security camera for industrial and petrochemical companies. Continue reading →

Bats are a UK- and European-protected species. As such, all UK bat species, roosts, and breeding sites are protected by both UK and European law. Therefore, it is illegal to disturb bats or damage, destroy, or obstruct bat resting, sheltering, and breeding locations. Committing any of these crimes can result in up to six months in prison and/or an unlimited fine.[1] Consequently, bat surveys have become a critical aspect of building and renovation projects. However, bats’ preference for roosting in difficult-to-access crevices, voids, and hollows combined with their nocturnal activities makes conducting meaningful surveys challenging. Thankfully, Guide has developed a TK612 Thermal Imaging Monocular specifically for ecological and conservation applications, such as bat surveys. Continue reading →
