On January 22, 2024, the Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province released a video captured by an infrared camera. In the video, an adult Qinling giant panda was carrying a cub in its mouth and walking through the snow in the forest. The panda cub was curled up obediently. From the shooting time and body size, it can be inferred that the panda cub should be about half a year old.

In the Sichuan Reserve, the lively and active Sichuan golden monkeys usually walk on all fours on the ground, either slowly or quickly. However, in the Xuebaoding area of the Giant Panda National Park, an infrared camera captured a "different" golden monkey baby standing upright and jumping forward. In the warm winter sun with snow all over the ground, its unique running posture brings a touch of lively color to the forest.

How do the gentle and quiet roe deer spend the winter? In the Erguna National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia, two cute roe deer broke into the lens of the infrared camera. They move and forage on the thick snow, sometimes prick up their ears to observe the surrounding environment, and sometimes blink their big eyes and look down to find food buried in the snow. Due to the scarcity of food in winter, hard foraging is the only way to survive. The serious foraging of roe deer reflects their tenacious vitality.

At present, infrared cameras are a widely used tool in wildlife research. It uses thermal imaging technology and infrared spectrum to capture and record the activity trajectory, behavioral habits and population size of animals. Thanks to these shooting devices - infrared trigger cameras deployed by staff in the wild, we can now often see the activities of various wild animals through the screen.

onick Optical Organization has developed an infrared camera network real-time monitoring information sharing service platform with automatic data collection, real-time wireless transmission, intelligent recognition and visualization, and cloud service (cloud platform) as the core technology, which further improves the efficiency of massive image data collection, storage and analysis and processing, and provides an important data basis for national data sharing and scientific evaluation and analysis.
