Thermal imaging technology was originally developed for tactical purposes, with its unique passive infrared capabilities allowing observers to conduct surveillance in all weather conditions, even penetrating smoke, fog, and vegetation. According to FORESEEN’s hunting brand clients, one significant advantage of thermal imaging is its ability to track animal footprints and blood trails in complex outdoor environments—a capability that is crucial for improving hunting success rates.
FORESEEN collaborated with brand clients early on to validate the feasibility of thermal imaging technology. However, balancing cost and technology has always been a challenge, and for a long time, the core technologies of thermal imaging were concentrated in the hands of a few manufacturers in the United States, Canada, and France. FORESEEN’s breakthrough came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when one of our key thermal sensing chip suppliers made significant advancements in temperature measurement technology and successfully scaled up production. Building on this progress, FORESEEN launched its own thermal imaging products and thermal imaging rifle scopes.
It is important to note that thermal imaging rifle scopes require the chips to withstand the high-impact environment of firearms, making them more costly than thermal imaging binoculars. All of FORESEEN’s thermal imaging products have undergone reliability optimization for their optoelectronic systems and power consumption management, along with lightweight structural design. These products are reliable tools for detecting hidden targets at long distances.
