Overview

Entomologists often make detailed observations of insect behaviour in the laboratory and field. Tracksys provides a range of behavioural measurement systems, tools and equipment supported by our experienced staff. Foremost among these are The Observer XT to analyse video or gather data live in the field and EthoVision XT for video tracking in controlled laboratory settings.

We also offer gait analysis and a range of bespoke filming solutions, so you can film day and night with or without mains power.

The Observer XT

A complete system to collect, analyse and present observational data, be it human or animal, live or from video. User-friendly, flexible, with the ability to integrate and analyse other data streams, The Observer XT is the perfect hub for many researchers across a variety of disciplines, such as: psychology; zoology; pharmacology; education and training.

EthoVision XT

EthoVision XT is the most powerful and flexible video tracking software in the world, with by far the largest literature output to back up that claim. It can be used with virtually any organism in any arena. Features include machine learning, marker-less tracking of groups, automatic experimental control, and the most powerful data selection and analysis features on the market.

Simi Motion

Motion analysis of human, animal and mechanical devices in 2 & 3D. Measure angles, accelerations, forces and distances using automatic tracking of as many points as you need.
