Say hello to the ThermTec Faun 215, a compact, ultra-sensitive handheld thermal monocular designed to deliver premium thermal imaging in a highly portable package. This is a super competitive entry-level unit perfectly designed for our harsh climate and conditions. Engineered specifically for hunters, pest controllers, and landowners who need high-end performance without the premium price tag, the Faun 215 completely redefines what an entry-level thermal can do.

Despite its highly portable 370g frame, this monocular punches well above its weight class. Despite having a smaller, yet crisp 256×192 sensor, when paired with an industry-leading =20mK NETD thermal sensitivity it delivers unmatched detail, contrast, and clarity allowing you to cut through even the harshest kiwi weather conditions and track targets with absolute confidence.

The Thermtec Faun 215 will be a massive win for our local market - due to our demanding terrain and highly active pest control and hunting communities.

Features

• Sub-20mK Thermal Sensitivity: The Faun 215 features an incredibly sensitive =20mK NETD rating. It detects minute temperature differences in high humidity conditions, heavy rain, dense fog, or thick foliage, pulling clean animal silhouettes out of cold, cluttered backgrounds, when most older compact entry-level sensors struggle and flatline into a grey haze.
• The Ultimate Scanning Optics: Equipped with a premium 15mm F0.9 objective lens, the Faun 215 delivers a wide 20.4m field of view at 100 meters. Combined with a 2.2x native magnification, it is the perfect tool for scanning open fields, spotting fast-moving game, or tracking paths through heavy scrub.
• High-Definition AMOLED Display: View your surroundings through a crisp 1024×768 AMOLED screen. With 7 distinct color palettes and dedicated Forest/Target image modes, you can instantly optimize your view to make targets stand out dynamically.
• Smart AI Features & Onboard Tech: Experience advanced tracking with built-in AI Distance Measurement and Heat Tracking that automatically highlights the hottest signature in your frame. Integrated Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) eliminates hand-shake, providing a rock-steady image even when scanning at a fast pace.
• 10-Hour Swappable Battery: Powered by a single, standard 18650 battery, the Faun 215 offers up to 10 hours of continuous runtime. Avoid the hassle of degrading internal batteries—simply swap a fresh 18650 in the field and keep operating all night.
• Built for the Elements: Boasting an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, the rugged chassis is fully sealed against dust and water immersion up to 1 meter. It operates flawlessly in extreme environments, from freezing alpine temperatures (-20°C) up to intense heat (+50°C).
