FAQ
Discover answers to common queries about our drone services and solutions. Explore how our expertise can benefit your projects and operations.
Usually not. We find most animals do not show a change in behaviour when the drone is observing them. For surveying skittish animals, we maintain a safe distance from them to minimise disturbance.
We use thermal cameras to initially locate target animals. If they cannot be identified from their thermal signature alone, we use a gimbal mounted LED spotlight and zoom visual camera to record and confirm the species.
Yes. Due to the heat retained by some landscapes, summer presents more challenges than the cooler months due to a lower thermal contrast on our thermal camera. However, it is still possible to find cool nights in summer where thermal surveys are effective.
We use thermal cameras and a laser rangefinder to find the heat signature of target species. We then record the location data and take a photo of the animal for confirmation. This is a different process to our drone & multispectral mapping services. We can also help you set up your own drone animal surveying capability with our drone consulting services.
