Discover More Wildlife with the NocPix Rovex
Whether you're searching for a roosting bird amongst branches, watching mammals emerge at dusk or carrying out ecological observations in difficult light, thermal imaging can reveal wildlife that is remarkably easy to miss with the naked eye.
The NocPix Rovex has been designed specifically with wildlife observation in mind.
Its 384x288 thermal sensor detects differences in temperature rather than relying on visible light, helping you locate warm-bodied wildlife during the day, at dawn and dusk, after dark and in overcast conditions.
Rather than a conventional small eyepiece, the Rovex features a large 5-inch LCD screen, providing an easy and intuitive way to explore the thermal world around you.
A Thermal Camera Made for Wildlife Watching
The NocPix Rovex uses a 384x288, 12μm thermal sensor with ≤25mK NETD thermal sensitivity to reveal subtle differences in temperature.
For wildlife watching, this can help you find the heat signatures of animals amongst complex natural backgrounds where camouflage makes them difficult to locate visually.
Scan woodland edges for deer, search vegetation for smaller mammals or explore your local habitat after sunset to discover what becomes active when most people have gone home.
Once you've found your subject with thermal, you can switch to binoculars, a spotting scope or other optics for conventional observation where conditions allow.
Ideal for Thermal Birding
Thermal imaging is becoming an increasingly useful addition to the birdwatcher's field kit, and the Rovex includes a dedicated Birding image mode.
Rather than searching for plumage colours, thermal imaging helps you locate birds from the heat they produce. This can be particularly useful when scanning complex habitats where birds may be partially concealed amongst branches, foliage or grass.
The Rovex's 17.5° x 13.1° field of view provides a wide thermal picture for searching an area, while its sensitive detector helps reveal small differences in temperature.
For early starts and evening birding sessions, it offers another way of discovering what is present before moving onto binoculars or a spotting scope for identification.
Large 5-Inch Screen for Easy Observation
The large 1280x720 5-inch LCD display is one of the Rovex's most distinctive features.
Instead of looking through a traditional thermal monocular eyepiece, you can view the thermal scene on a generously sized screen.
This makes the Rovex particularly interesting for wildlife observation, where you may spend time scanning an area, watching behaviour or following the movement of an animal.
It can also make the thermal image easier to show to another person in the field, making Rovex an interesting option for shared wildlife observation and educational use.
AI-Powered Wildlife Tracking
Spot something warm amongst the undergrowth?
The Rovex features AI-powered smart tracking with intelligent colour-coded alerts, designed to assist with identifying and following thermal targets within the scene.
For wildlife observation, this provides an additional tool when scanning habitats containing multiple potential heat signatures.
NocPix also equips the Rovex with Reality+ 2.0 AI and R+ Super Resolution image-processing technologies.
Wide Field of View for Finding Wildlife
Finding wildlife is often about scanning efficiently rather than achieving the highest possible magnification.
The Rovex combines a 15mm F0.8 manual-focus lens with a wide 17.5° x 13.1° field of view, helping you cover woodland, field margins, gardens and other habitats quickly.
Once you've detected an animal, 1-4x digital zoom can be used to take a closer look.
The Rovex has a stated maximum detection range of 400 metres, providing useful reach for wildlife observation while retaining the wider view that can be so valuable when searching for animals and birds.
Three Image Modes for Changing Field Conditions
Wildlife doesn't always appear in perfect weather.
The NocPix Rovex provides three dedicated image modes:
- Standard
- Rain & Fog
- Birding
These allow you to adapt the thermal image to different subjects and environmental conditions.
Four thermal colour palettes are also available:
- White Hot
- Black Hot
- Red Hot
- Pseudocolour
Experimenting with the different palettes can help you choose the view that provides the best contrast between your subject and its surroundings.
Thermal Imaging for Ecology & Wildlife Surveys
The combination of portability, thermal sensitivity, wide field of view and dedicated image modes also makes the Rovex an interesting thermal observation tool for ecologists, conservationists and wildlife survey work.
Thermal imaging can complement conventional field observation by helping an observer locate heat signatures that may otherwise be difficult to see.
Potential observational applications include searching habitats for nocturnal wildlife, locating animals concealed by vegetation, observing activity around dawn and dusk, wildlife counts and preliminary scanning of survey areas.
The Rovex's 290g weight without battery makes it easy to carry alongside binoculars, survey equipment and other field gear.
Important: Thermal imaging should be used as an observation and detection aid. Appropriate survey methodologies, licences and species-specific guidance should always be followed where required.
Capture Your Wildlife Encounters
Found something interesting?
The Rovex includes photo and video functionality, allowing memorable thermal observations to be recorded.
Built-in Wi-Fi and APP wireless connectivity also allow the camera to connect to a compatible mobile device for wireless viewing and control.
For wildlife enthusiasts, this provides a convenient way of capturing unusual nocturnal encounters and documenting what you've discovered.
Ready for Life in the Field
At only 290g without its battery, the NocPix Rovex provides a lightweight thermal camera that can be carried alongside your usual wildlife watching equipment.
An IP66 rating provides protection for outdoor use, while USB-C charging and a replaceable 21700 Li-ion battery make power management straightforward.
Maximum stated operating time is 4 hours, and the camera also features an accessory rail for compatible accessories.
