30 Years Experience

We have used thermal technology
for over 15 years  

 

We wish to emphasise the fact that thermal imaging is not a stand alone tool used for the detection of termites as has been the conception provided to the general public by some other companies - thermal imaging when used with the expertise gained from years of termite, inspection and building experience by the operator, together with other advance technology tools, will provide valuable information that can not be gained in any other manner.
 
The latest innovation in thermal imaging technology
Introducing the BugEye Thermal Pest Camera. The latest technology in termite and pest detection. The BugEye Thermal Camera utilizes a high resolution monitor to display temperature differences down to 0.05°C allowing the operator to see both warm and cool areas in wall and ceiling cavities caused by termite infestation. Due to the highly sensitive resolution of the unit, active termite leads in hidden cavities are also visible in ideal conditions. A unique capability of the unit is the optional wireless transmitter module for viewing images on a remote screen or documenting inspections on a notebook PC or VCR.
Inspection Process

The following images were taken in residential properties and demonstrate the effectiveness of the BugEye Thermal camera in detecting nesting inside wall and ceiling cavities. Note that an active nest will appear brighter than the surrounding wall due to the heat generated by the termites. Inactive nests will generally appear darker due to the cold 'sink' nature of the mud pack.

Note that conditions such as direct sunshine or cold rain on exterior wall surfaces will have a noticeable effect on what the thermal camera can detect on these walls from inside the building. These effects should be taken into account during the inspection process where ever possible and exterior walls should be inspected at times when these situations can be avoided. 		 
 
 		  


Inspecting wall cavity with Technoscope
 

  
 


  
Same ceiling through the BugEye Thermal Camera 
 

Inspections are conducted to Australian Standards AS 4349.3

On average an inspection can take two to three hours to complete.

A comprehensive report is issued on completion.

Reduce your risk of Liability.
Use a BugEye Technoscope to document your inspections !

The full range of BugEye Technoscopes use precision optics and provide clear focused images with true colour transmission. The instruments have a 12 V halogen bulb in the tip of the probe, supplying an extremely bright white light suitable for even the darkest cavity inspections and allowing the scope to be connected directly to an external 12 volt supply such as a vehicle or a 'plug pack' power supply. The BugEye Standard has a viewing direction of 70° and super wide angled 90° field of view allowing the user to inspect wall cavities and confined spaces with ease. Along with a focussing eyepiece, the BugEye Professional has a viewing direction of 90° and a narrower field of view of 60° allowing the user to view objects at greater distances.

Image Examples
The following termite images were taken through the BugEye Professional Technoscope using the photo adapter along with the Nikon CoolPix Camera. Images such as these can also be achieved using a standard SLR camera or a hand held Video Camera attached to the technoscope through the optional camera adapter.
