The ThermTec WILD Series
Thermal imaging cameras with an innovative sensor
The ThermTec WILD series brings a range of new features to thermal imaging technology and is a real innovation, especially for hunters, but also for wildlife observers. With several models developed for different applications and requirements, based on real customer feedback, the WILD series stands out above all for the user-friendliness of its thermal imaging cameras as well as the completely redesigned look. In this article, we would like to take a closer look at the devices and show you what exactly makes them so special.
The Devices at a Glance - A Wide Range for Every Need
The seven models in the ThermTec WILD series were each designed specifically to meet different hunting requirements. From the compact and affordable Wild 325 to the powerful Wild 650, these devices offer a wide range of features that appeal to both beginners and experienced hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.
All models are equipped with a highly sensitive thermal sensor that, combined with advanced image processing technology, delivers razor-sharp images. Even under the toughest conditions, whether stalking through dense woodland or scanning open fields.
Design and User-Friendliness - Robust Construction Meets Easy Handling
This is where the manufacturer has clearly responded to customer suggestions and requests. The devices in the ThermTec WILD series are not only technically up to date, they also impress with a well thought-out design. The rugged magnesium housing is rated IP67, which means the thermal imaging cameras are both waterproof and dustproof. That makes them ideal for use in harsh environments.
Particularly worth highlighting is the ergonomic one-handed operation, made possible by a top-mounted focusing wheel and an intuitive joystick. These features allow you to operate the device quickly and precisely without having to take your eyes off the target.

Impressive Performance and Image Quality
Image quality is a decisive factor in the effectiveness of a thermal imaging camera, and this is exactly where the ThermTec WILD series sets the standard. Equipped with a sensor that achieves a NETD value of ≤ 18 mK, the devices deliver outstanding image quality even in poor weather and in complete darkness.
Depending on the model, detection range varies from 1,300 m on the WILD 325 to an impressive 2,600 m on the WILD 650. The stepless digital zoom (1x to 4x) makes it possible to see even the smallest details clearly. This precision allows hunters in particular to identify game accurately and maintain full awareness of their surroundings.
Battery Life and Charging Options - Long-Lasting Performance for Extended Use
Another standout feature of the ThermTec WILD series is its impressive battery life. With interchangeable 18650 Li-ion batteries, the models offer an operating time of up to 10 hours depending on the version. This is especially beneficial on longer hunts, as the devices can be used reliably and without interruption.
The interchangeable battery system makes it possible to swap batteries quickly, which can be crucial in critical moments. The batteries can be charged either inside the device or separately, giving you even more flexibility.
Additional Features and Technologies - More Than Just a Thermal Imaging Camera
The ThermTec WILD series offers a wide range of additional features that set it apart from other devices on the market. One of the most important is the AI-based image processing technology, which enables self-learning calibration. This technology continuously adapts to current environmental conditions, resulting in optimised image quality and improved accuracy.

In addition, all models feature different colour modes that allow the user to adapt the image display to individual preferences. The large internal memory of 64 GB provides plenty of space for storing photos and videos for later analysis or documentation.

Another standout feature of the WILD series is the innovative LRF Boost technology integrated into the "L" models. It combines the advantages of AI-supported rangefinding with a precise laser rangefinder (LRF) with a range of up to 1,000 m. This makes it possible to detect several targets at once and determine their distances with very high accuracy. This technology offers hunters a clear advantage, as distances to multiple targets can be measured reliably in a single process. In addition, LRF Boost provides even more precise readings and therefore better planning and execution of hunting shots.
Conclusion: The ThermTec WILD Series - An Investment in Quality and Reliability
The ThermTec WILD series offers hunters and wildlife observers state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology, a robust design and a wide range of features specifically tailored to real hunting use. At Hunting Sport, we believe these thermal imaging cameras are more than just tools. They are an essential companion for anyone who wants to work precisely and effectively in demanding environments. Developed on the basis of customer feedback and practical suggestions, the WILD series proves itself while stalking, during night-time wildlife observation and in challenging weather conditions.
