ZEISS DTI 3/35 Gen 2 Thermal Imaging Camera in More Detail
Improved Image Quality and Enhanced Hardware
Upgrading the hardware has led to significant improvements in image quality, pushing the boundaries of 384 x 288 sensors even further in this generation scope. The new 1,024 x 786 AMOLED display has greatly improved contrast and colour reproduction, resulting in a more detailed image with reduced background noise and sharper edges, which contribute to a more refined and precise imaging experience.
Extended Battery Life
The ZEISS DTI 3 GEN 2 offers extended battery life of 8 hours, providing sufficient power for multiple birding trips. The Auto Shutoff feature helps conserve battery by automatically turning off the camera after a user-defined period of inactivity. This functionality ensures that power is conserved when the camera remains unused for a specified time, optimising the overall performance for extended field use.
User-Friendly Design
The ZEISS DTI 3 GEN 2 thermal imaging camera features an intuitive ErgoControl operating concept with strategically placed buttons, allowing users to effortlessly access all functions. The ergonomic design enhances handling in challenging conditions, including cold and dark environments, while accommodating both right-handed and left-handed users for optimal comfort during operation. A thoughtfully designed interface ensures ease of use and enhances the overall user experience, making the DTI 3 GEN 2 a practical and user-friendly thermal imaging solution.
High-precision Zoom
A high-precision zoom with 0.5x increments provides nature observers with the perfect balance of magnification and detail recognition. This fine adjustment allows users to quickly identify and discern even the smallest details, enabling accurate observations in low-light conditions. The enhanced zoom capability enhances the overall viewing experience and aids in precise identification, making the DTI 3 GEN 2 an indispensable tool for nature enthusiasts and observers.
Versatile Observation Modes
The generation imaging camera offers three pre-programmed observation modes, tailored to various environmental conditions. The universal mode is ideal for general observations, while the detect mode enhances heat source visibility while reducing cold background interference. This mode is particularly useful for spotting animals hidden behind foliage or obstacles.
Additionally, fog mode optimises clarity in misty or foggy conditions, ensuring clear and precise observations regardless of the situation. With these adaptable observation modes, the DTI 3 GEN 2 proves to be a versatile thermal imaging camera, equipped to excel in any scenario.
8 Different colour modes
ZEISS thermal imaging cameras offer eight different colour modes, so you can choose the setting which best fits your needs.
- Black hot and white hot render images with a high level of contrast.
- Red hot allows for a fast detection of heat sources in vast vegetation
- Rainbow is ideal for identifying the smallest differences in temperature
Four additional colour modes have been redesigned to reduce the glare of the screen in a dark environment and reduce eye strain:
- Red Hue mode more easily adjusts your eyes to the darkness
- Dark Hue is easier on your eyes by using low luminescence colours
- Green Hue shows plenty of detail at low screen brightness
- Night Eye highlights the warmest areas of the thermal image in a pleasant sepia tone
Movement Alert
Equipped with a Movement Alert feature, the ZEISS DTI 3 GEN 2 promptly notify you of any heat source movement within the image. Whether through an inconspicuous LED signal atop the device or by activating the display, you will be alerted to potential changes in the thermal scene, ensuring you never miss a crucial moment.
High Frame Rate for longer duration observation
The ZEISS DTI cameras featuring a display frame rate of 50 Hz. A higher display frame rate results in decreased flickering of the image, thereby reducing eye strain when using for several hours at a time.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
The picture-in-picture function of the ZEISS DTI overlays the zoomed image on the visual image. This is useful when you want to keep sight of the animal you are observing in zoom mode, even if it makes sudden movements.
Hot Tracking mode
In 'Hot Tracking' mode, the warmest source in the image is framed with a red square, which makes finding heat sources in densely overgrown areas and tracking them far easier.
Efficient Shortcuts
Streamline your thermal imaging experience with the DTI 3 GEN 2 and DTI 4's convenient shortcuts. Say goodbye to navigating through menus for basic functions. The preprogrammed button combinations grant you quick access to various settings, including capturing pictures, recording videos, and switching between different modes. With these intuitive shortcuts at your fingertips, you can effortlessly control and enhance your observation process, maximising productivity and ease of use.
Enhanced Navigation with Compass Overlay
Navigate your birdwatching adventures with ease using the compass overlay on the DTI 3 GEN 2 and DTI 4. This feature allows you to accurately determine the direction of the observed bird or orient yourself in the field. Whether you're birdwatching alone or in a group, the compass overlay aids in coordinating locations and observations, providing valuable guidance for a seamless birdwatching experience.
Customisable for quicker operation
When it comes to thermal imaging cameras, every viewer has their own personal preferences. In order to meet this, the DTI's now offer the ability to select exactly which colour modes are active and which are not, so you only have to click through the ones you want to use. The same applies to the zoom level setting, whereby you can now limit the maximum zoom level to your liking.
