Make heat radiation visible – infrared technology for hunting, wildlife observation, security and building thermography.
Heat radiation is converted into visible images – works in complete darkness

Thermal imaging devices (also known as thermal cameras or thermographic cameras) convert infrared radiation into visible images. Every object with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat radiation – and this radiation is captured by the sensor and displayed as a colour-coded image. The warmer an object, the brighter or more intense it appears on the display. This allows reliable detection of living beings, vehicles or thermal bridges even in complete darkness, fog or smoke.
Unlike night vision devices that amplify residual light, thermal imagers operate completely independently of ambient light. They require neither moonlight nor artificial illumination and do not emit any visible light themselves. This makes them the first choice for professional applications in hunting, wildlife monitoring, security and building thermography.
The infrared sensor resolution determines how detailed the thermal image appears. Entry-level devices typically work with 256×192 pixels – sufficient for basic detection at short to medium distances. Devices with 384×288 or 640×512 pixels deliver significantly sharper images and allow reliable identification at greater distances. Top models with 1280×1024 pixels are suited for professional applications where every detail counts.
The NETD value (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) indicates how fine a temperature difference the sensor can resolve. An NETD of 40 mK is well suited for most applications, while values below 25 mK reveal even the subtlest temperature differences – for example in building thermography or detecting camouflaged animals.
Monoculars are ideal for hand-held observation and can be operated with one hand. Clip-on attachments mount in front of an existing riflescope, turning it into a thermal riflescope – a flexible solution for hunters. Handheld cameras often offer the widest range of features with built-in screens and are suited for inspections and professional documentation.
The frame rate (Hz) determines how smoothly the image is displayed. 25 Hz is sufficient for stationary observation, while 50 Hz delivers a noticeably smoother image when tracking moving targets or panning the device. For hunting applications, a higher frame rate is recommended.
Thermal imaging devices are used wherever heat sources need to be detected – regardless of lighting conditions. In hunting, they serve for game detection and tracking; in wildlife observation, for spotting nocturnal animals. Security services use them for perimeter surveillance, and search-and-rescue teams locate missing persons in difficult terrain or at night. In building technology, thermal cameras reveal leaks and thermal bridges.

Thermal imagers capture infrared heat radiation and work in complete darkness without any light source. Night vision devices amplify existing residual light (moon, stars) and therefore require a minimum of ambient light or an IR illuminator. Thermal technology detects living beings more reliably as it displays temperature differences.
For basic observation at short to medium distances (up to approx. 500 m), 256×192 pixels are sufficient. For reliable identification at greater distances, 384×288 or 640×512 pixels are recommended. Resolutions of 1280×1024 pixels are suited for professional inspections and long-range surveillance.
Yes, thermal imagers work just as well during the day as at night. They detect temperature differences regardless of light. However, contrasts are lower in direct sunlight as surfaces heat up and the temperature differential to living beings decreases.
NETD stands for Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference and describes the thermal sensitivity of the sensor in millikelvin (mK). The smaller the value, the finer the temperature differences that become visible. Values below 40 mK are good, below 25 mK are considered excellent.
Yes, thermal imaging devices are freely available in Switzerland and may be purchased and owned without special permits. Use for hunting is subject to cantonal hunting laws – please check the applicable regulations in your canton before use.
