Advanced Thermal Cameras & IR Sensors for Animal Monitoring

Contactless Thermal Imaging for Early Detection of Illness, Heat Stress,
and Environmental Risks in Animal Care Settings

Thermal Cameras and IR Sensors

Temperature and heat patterns are often the earliest indicators of animal health issues or environmental problems. For caregivers, early detection can mean the difference between fast recovery and major loss. That’s why modern facilities are turning to advanced thermal imaging to enhance how they observe and protect animals. Pet & Livestock Industry provides cutting-edge Thermal Cameras and IR Sensors engineered to detect subtle changes in body temperature and surrounding heat signatures without the need for physical contact. These systems deliver high-resolution imagery and real-time alerts to identify signs of illness, injury, overcrowding, or heat stress across a wide range of environments, from veterinary clinics and shelters to farms and wildlife centers. Headquartered in Houston, TX, we’ve rapidly established ourselves as a trusted B2B partner in animal tracking technology across North America. With a focus on product reliability, continuous innovation, and customer-first support, our thermal systems integrate seamlessly into animal care operations and scale to meet growing demands

Core Components

Hardware

Real-time thermal visualization dashboards – Enabled through Infrared Thermometers & Cameras to continuously monitor animal body heat signatures in pens and shelters.

Motion-triggered and heat-based alerts – Integrated with Motion & Position Sensorsto detect abnormal movements combined with elevated temperature for early illness detection

Automated image capture and data tagging – Powered by Optical & Imaging Sensorsfor capturing and tagging thermal imagery of individual livestock for behavior and health analysis

Customizable temperature thresholds and alert logic – Supported by Zigbee Gateways/Hubs  to locally manage sensor behavior and alert parameters at the hardware level

Multi-device management and sensor grouping – Achieved via LoRaWAN Gateways for scalable, long-range coordination of multiple thermal sensors across large farms

User permissions and access control settings – Managed using BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories to control physical access to thermal monitoring hardware in sensitive areas

Case Studies

Case Study 1 – U.S. Cattle Farm, Oklahoma

A large-scale cattle operation implemented our thermal cameras to monitor herd temperature during a seasonal heatwave. Within weeks, they detected early signs of heat stress, improving response times and reducing livestock losses by over 30%.

Case Study 2 – U.S. Animal Shelter, New Jersey

An urban shelter equipped with our infrared sensors was able to quickly identify and isolate animals with fevers, preventing the spread of an upper respiratory infection outbreak among over 100 dogs and cats.

Case Study 3 – Canadian Dairy Facility, Alberta

A mid-sized dairy farm used our infrared and thermal solutions to optimize calving conditions and detect mastitis early. The result was a 22% improvement in herd health scores and a measurable increase in milk production
