There's something about predator hunting after dark.
The woods get quiet. The fields look different. Sounds carry farther. And somewhere out there, a coyote that was easy to see before sunset is moving across the property.
The problem is, you can't see it now.
That's always been part of the challenge. Predator hunters work in darkness, using calls, listening for movement, watching field edges, and waiting for an animal to make a mistake.
Vehicle-mounted thermal imaging gives hunters full situational awareness after the sun goes down.
Detect animals, even when the landscape goes dark
Predator hunters already know what thermal can show them after dark. Vehicle-mounted solutions make the hunt 10 times more effective with scanning from the comfort of your vehicle.
A field that looks completely black to your eyes suddenly has plenty going on. Animals stand out from the surrounding landscape. A hog moving along a field edge becomes visible. Livestock in a distant pasture can show up. And somewhere in that landscape could be the coyote you're looking for.
Scan more without leaving the truck
Handheld thermal optics are useful when you're looking through them. But when you're scanning a large property, the challenge is covering everything you need to see without constantly repositioning yourself.
That's where vehicle-mounted thermal changes the setup.
Mounted outside the vehicle and controlled from inside, a vehicle-mounted thermal camera gives you a wider, elevated view of the property without having to leave the truck or roll down the window.
Hear something behind you?
Turn the camera. You can stay in position and change your view from inside the vehicle.
Full Situational Awareness
That's what the NightRide 360 Plus is built for: giving hunters a remotely controlled thermal view from the comfort of your vehicle for predator hunting and other nighttime scouting.
For flexibility, the 360 Plus can be mounted magnetically or by suction mount for quick setup, or permanently when the camera stays on the vehicle.
The thermal image can be displayed on a smartphone, tablet, or monitor using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
The cameras use a 640 × 512 thermal sensor with a 19 mm or 35mm lens and feature remotely controlled pan and tilt. The camera can be moved via remote control or by using arrows on your phone or tablet screen.
For most hunting applications, the 19mm lens is the best choice. With a 23-degree horizontal field of view and detection up to 960 yards, this camera provides a wide enough view to make driving decisions, while still offering clear animal detection across most fields.
Hunters operating in deeper fields prefer the 35mm lens, which detects heat signatures up to 1750 yards. This camera provides a 12-degree horizontal field of view, which is a more telescopic experience.
Track predator movement
Coyotes rarely make things easy.
They use cover. They travel field edges. They can sit just inside the tree line or work their way along a fence.
The advantage isn't simply spotting a coyote. It's being able to work a larger area from one position. Scan the field. Check the tree line. Follow the fence. Come back to the area where you picked up movement.
You can start building a picture of what's happening across the property without driving from one location to the next.
And when you're hunting predators, that matters. The more of the property you can check, the more information you have before deciding where to set up, where to call, or where to look next.
The camera provides the view. The hunter provides the judgment.
More than a hunting tool
The same camera can be useful long after the hunt is over.
On a farm or ranch, darkness can make it harder to know what's happening across the property. A vehicle-mounted thermal camera gives you another way to check fields, pastures, and livestock without lighting up the area or repeatedly driving through it.
Use it to check on livestock after dark, monitor areas where predators have been active, or investigate unusual movement around the property. Spotting a heat signature in a pasture can help you identify activity before it becomes a bigger problem. At the same time, regular checks can give you a better understanding of what is moving through the land at night.
It can also support wildlife observation and general property monitoring. Because you can scan from inside the vehicle, you can cover an area while keeping your position and causing less disturbance.
The benefit is versatility. The same thermal camera that helps with predator hunting can also become a useful tool for understanding what is happening across the property after dark.
Built for real hunting conditions
Hunting doesn't always happen in comfortable weather.
Cold winter nights, rain, fog, and changing temperatures can all put equipment to the test. If a camera is mounted on your vehicle, it needs to handle those conditions without becoming another thing you have to worry about.
The NightRide 360 Plus is IP67 rated and designed to operate from approximately -40°F to 140°F.
For hunters, that means less time spent worrying about equipment and more time focused on the property, conditions, and what you're looking for.
The NightRide 360 Plus, ready when you are!
Always check your state and local regulations before using thermal imaging or other electronic equipment for hunting. Regulations vary by species and jurisdiction.
