Deliver report-ready bat survey evidence the same night with DarkFlight
DarkFlight is the bat survey workflow for consultancies that want to reduce the office burden after emergence surveys. It captures thermal, audio, timestamps and event evidence in one system, so your team can get to report-ready evidence faster, without manually stitching separate tools together.
The bottleneck is no longer just seeing bats
For many consultancies, the real drag starts after the survey:
reviewing camera footage
matching visual events with acoustic files
checking timestamps
exporting clips and screenshots
building evidence packs for the report
tying up ecologist time during peak season
There are tools can reduce visual triage.
What they do not remove is the rest of the evidence chain.
That is where DarkFlight becomes useful.
DarkFlight compresses the workflow after capture
DarkFlight is built for the part of the job that still hurts once the field survey is over: getting from captured activity to clean, report-ready evidence without rebuilding everything manually afterwards.
It helps you:
keep thermal, audio and timestamps aligned
create structured event evidence during the survey
export the night’s outputs immediately afterwards
keep your ecological judgement and reporting structure in place
What changes with DarkFlight
1. One evidence chain
Thermal, acoustic, timestamps, flight interpretation and emergence detection stay connected, instead of being rebuilt across separate tools later.
2. Same-night export
Leave site with the survey outputs exported to your own device within minutes, ready to drop into your existing reporting workflow.
3. Human-in-the-loop automation
DarkFlight removes the mechanical work, not the ecologist. You stay in control of interpretation, review and reporting.
4. Premium overflow capacity
Hire high-quality integrated thermal workflow when you need it, without buying another full system.
Every event can include
thermal clip
synced audio
sonogram
accurate timestamp
location
reviewer-ready evidence structure
Built for real consultancy workflows
Place the unit
Start the survey
Capture thermal and audio evidence in one workflow
Review key events on site
Export the night’s outputs within minutes
DarkFlight is not trying to replace your reporting structure. It is built to remove the slow manual stitching layer that sits between survey capture and report-ready evidence.
Everything in one system
thermal imaging (640×480, 35mk)
full-spectrum audio capture
flight tracking support
roost-zone monitoring tools
event evidence packaging
same-night export
compatibility with external reporting tools
Built from real field experience
DarkFlight was developed from first-hand experience working with existing thermal survey workflows.
It exists to solve the real bottlenecks ecologists face in the field, not add more complexity.
