Wildlife & Pest Detection
Our thermal drones are used extensively for:
Thermal technology allows us to detect heat signatures through vegetation and in total darkness, dramatically improving detection rates.
Provision also delivers thermal asset inspection services, helping identify issues that are invisible to the naked eye.
We inspect:
Thermal inspection reduces downtime, improves safety, and helps prioritise maintenance before failures occur.
Provision operates high-resolution 1280 × 1024 thermal sensors — significantly more detailed than standard drone thermal cameras.
Our systems are paired with integrated NIR (near-infrared / night vision) sensors, allowing:
This dual-sensor capability provides a level of accuracy and confidence that lower-resolution systems simply can’t match.
Most drone operators talk about dawn and dusk.
Provision specialises in full night operations.
Flying thermal drones at night is operationally complex and requires:
Provision is experienced in conducting safe, compliant night operations in remote and challenging environments — when thermal performance is at its best.
Thermal cameras detect heat differences rather than visible light. This allows us to locate animals, faults, or heat anomalies that standard cameras cannot see — even in complete darkness.
Yes. Provision specialises in full night thermal operations, when thermal performance is often at its best. We have conducted more dedicated night thermal flight hours than any other operator in New Zealand.
Provision operates 1280 × 1024 resolution thermal sensors, delivering significantly more detail than standard drone thermal cameras. Our systems also include NIR (night vision) sensors for visual confirmation, enabling reliable detection and identification at night.
Yes. As a Part 102 certified operator, ProVision is approved for night operations, specialised imaging and flights in complex or sensitive locations.
Thermal inspections are used for:
Thermal sensors cannot see through solid objects, but they can detect heat signatures through gaps in vegetation, making them highly effective in bush and forest environments where ground visibility is limited.
Yes — when conducted by properly certified operators with the correct approvals and procedures. Provision is authorised for complex operations and has extensive experience conducting safe, compliant night flights.
