Thermal Imaging Scopes

Bats are small and fast-moving animals. To make them clearly visible with a thermal imaging camera, a high-resolution sensor is essential. A minimum resolution of 640 × 480 pixels is highly recommended.

Because bats fly quickly, it's also important to choose a camera with a high refresh rate (preferably 50 Hz) and a wide field of view so you can track the animals smoothly. Ideally, choose a thermal imaging camera with a horizontal field of view of approximately 17° or wider, which equates to a 30-meter-wide image at a distance of 100 meters.

For example, consider the following suitable models:
