Thermal Imaging

Find what you can’t see
with the naked eye

Our thermal drone sees heat signatures through dense cover, across large areas, and in conditions where visible-light cameras simply can’t — and every flight comes with the same high-quality imagery and mapped deliverables you’d expect from Verdant.

What we do

High-sensitivity infrared that reveals what’s hidden

Our fleet includes an enterprise-grade thermal drone combining high-resolution visible and infrared imaging in a single aircraft. It captures the kind of detail that makes a difference — not just a heat blob, but sharp, usable imagery that can be pinned to a map and shared with the people who need to act on it.

We’re actively building our thermal operations capability. The more jobs we fly, the sharper our workflow gets — and we’re taking on work now.

What makes it different?
Laser GPS pinpointing — up to 1,200m Spot a slip or target from distance and get its exact GPS coordinates instantly — without flying directly over it. Useful for post-storm reporting and guiding ground teams.
Visual coverage tracking See exactly where you’ve searched on the map in real time. No gaps, no repeated ground — essential for large-area wildlife detection or systematic inspections.
Low-light performance
Night scene mode Smart low-light imaging
NIR light Auxiliary illumination
Night operations — now available
Night Rating Nemir holds a CAA Night Rating, allowing us to conduct certified night flight operations. For thermal pest detection, this is a significant advantage — many pest animals are most active after dark, and temperature differentials between animals and their surroundings are at their greatest at night. If you’re running a detection programme and want to work after hours, we can do that.
What we can do for you

Four areas where thermal makes a real difference

Livestock & stock detection

Locating stock on large or broken properties where ground search is slow and incomplete. Thermal picks up animal heat signatures quickly across large areas.

Pest detection, hunting & conservation

Detecting deer, pigs, possums, wallabies, and other pest species — particularly at dawn and dusk when temperature differentials are highest and animals are most active.

Night operations available
Slip & land damage detection

We’ve identified slips landowners didn’t know existed — picked up on a routine flight and plotted as pins on an interactive map. A thermal condition check reveals what standard mapping misses.

Asset inspection

Thermal identifies heat anomalies in solar panels, electrical systems, buildings, fencing, and infrastructure — problems invisible to the eye until they become expensive.

Your deliverable

Sharp imagery, mapped and shareable

Every thermal flight comes with high-resolution visible and infrared imagery — results plotted as pins on an interactive map. Zoom to any location, review the detail, and share the link with whoever needs to see it.

Clients have consistently noted the quality — particularly when they can navigate the results themselves on a map rather than receiving a folder of files they don’t know what to do with.

What you receive
  • High-resolution thermal imagery
  • Visible light imagery for context
  • Results plotted as pins on interactive map
  • Shareable link — no software needed
  • Raw files available on request
Who it’s for

Anyone who suspects there’s something they can’t see from the ground

  • Farmers and station managers locating stock across large or difficult properties
  • Conservation trusts and pest control operators running detection programmes
  • Landowners wanting a condition check after a weather event
  • Infrastructure and property owners wanting thermal asset inspections
the process
1

Get in touch

Tell us what you’re trying to find or inspect. We’ll talk through whether thermal is the right tool.

2

We plan the flight

Flight conditions, timing, and coverage area agreed. Dawn and dusk often work best for wildlife detection.

3

We fly

Thermal and visible imagery captured across your area.

4

You receive your results

Imagery and findings plotted as pins on your interactive map, delivered within the week.
