How EthoVision works
Record
Capture behavior using virtually any camera setup. EthoVision supports live tracking or analysis from prerecorded video files, including multi-camera configurations.
Detect and capture behavior
Automatic detection settings allow reliable tracking even in challenging conditions such as variable lighting, reflections, or complex backgrounds.
Analyze and export
Visualize trajectories, heat maps, and time-based graphs. Export data in formats compatible with common statistical and data analysis tools for further processing and reporting.
Packages
Packages make EthoVision affordable for a variety of budgets and powerful enough for any project, giving you the best commercial tracker available no matter the budget or application.
