With the aid of light-enhancing, heat-seeking technologies, film production company Ammonite has developed innovative night-vision cameras that reveal the previously unseen night life of animals from around the world.

Ammonite's arsenal of night-filming technology includes starlight, infra-red and thermal cameras, with which they have revolutionised wildlife film-making, producing ground-breaking television shows such as Nightstalkers and Hunt for the Giant Squid.
