Tuatara Systems
Tuatara Systems develops and deploys advanced imaging solutions used to see the world in a different light. In a time where preserving our natural environment, historical sites, and cultural icons has reached a now-or-never crisis state this is more critical than ever. Our systems allow for documentation of research sites, generation of compelling imagery for outreach and education, and provide a visual record for future generations.
Systems
Most of our systems are built to satisfy a specific research or imaging goal bright to us by one of our partners. However, we build off of a common core that enables us to quickly develop modified or entirely new imaging systems very quickly since we have a solid technology base to start from.
Some of our currently active systems include:
-
A true color night vision system that can take color still and video images in moon light or even starlight
-
An automated spherical imaging systems capable of taking some of the highest resolution imagery in the world without any human interaction.
-
timelapse controllers taking images of melting glaciers and ice fields for years at a time in some of the world's most hostile environments including the face of mount Everest.

-
an aerial photography system based on a high lift kite for low cost high resolution images of large areas of land.
-
a low cost networked underwater video camera platform that supports many different types and brands of camera
-
A 3D scanning camera trap that allows biologists and researchers to make measurments of animals without the need for tranquilization and traditional tape measure contact based measurments
Field Support
Since many of these systems are fairly technical in nature, Tuatara Systems provides expert field support anywhere in the world to help our partners meet their goals and deadlines.
New Projects
We are always looking for new partners with challenging imaging needs that can be met with our imaging technologies. Whether an application of an existing system or a completely new development, feel free to contact us for more details.
