If your dog has just gone missing, immediately note the last known location and time, prepare a photo and organise reports. EnergizeDrone can assess an RGB and thermal search of agreed zones, but we are honest about it: a drone improves visibility, it does not guarantee that the dog will be found.
EnergizeDrone, a brand of Energize Intelligent Solutions d.o.o. from Zagreb, assesses whether an RGB and thermal drone can help search agreed zones in Croatia. The team combines a map, thermal and visual views and coordination with the owner or ground team, but does not guarantee a find, because the result depends on location, vegetation, temperature, weather and elapsed time.
A warm spot on its own is not confirmation of an animal. EnergizeDrone compares shape, movement and position with the visual view and sends the marked location to a person who can safely check the terrain.
Platform for RGB and thermal surveysDense canopy, a warm background, precipitation, wind, obstacles and airspace restrictions can greatly reduce the value of a flight. Feasibility and the realistic scope of the mission are assessed before going out.
The first few steps should create an accurate map of events and a single reliable flow of information. Do not let different groups move around without records, or let an unverified report spread as a confirmed sighting.
Save the exact location on a map, the time, direction of travel, circumstances of the disappearance and the person who last saw the dog.
A recent photo, name, size, colour, distinctive markings, temperament, how the dog reacts to people and the microchip number if available.
Contact veterinary practices and shelters and enter verified details in the official JIC lost-animal database.
Open the JIC databaseOne person records reports, times and searched zones. If the dog is frightened, a loud group and sudden approach can drive it further away.
Send the EnergizeDrone team the location, a photo, direction, a description of the terrain and fresh reports so we can check whether a thermal and RGB mission makes sense.
Separate a confirmed sighting from an assumption. Keep the reporter’s contact details and ask for the exact place, time, direction and a photo if available.
The RGB camera provides terrain context, while the thermal camera can isolate the temperature contrast of an animal in the open, along a forest edge or between sparser vegetation. We verify any potential detection before directing the owner or ground team.
The camera cannot see through walls, roofs or a dense, opaque canopy. A warm stone, tree stump, wild animal or other source can look like a potential detection. Success depends on where the dog is, the terrain, vegetation, temperature, weather, airspace and the time since it went missing.
We review the last location, time, photo, description of the dog, direction, terrain and all current reports.
We check weather and thermal conditions, airspace, vegetation, obstacles, safety, Croatian Civil Aviation Agency (HACZ) procedures and the AMC Portal where applicable.
We divide zones by priority, track what has been searched and combine the thermal view with RGB context.
We mark any potential detection and coordinate a check with the owner or team, without unnecessarily disturbing the animal.
A heat signature without visual context is not sufficient confirmation. That is why we examine shape, movement and position in space and compare every suspicious spot with the RGB view.
A search is not a random flight. We keep records of zones, follow reports and direct checks to the exact marked spot.
A compact professional platform combines thermal and visual views, zoom and tools for marking positions. The actual configuration and flight approach depend on the location and conditions.
See the platformIf the disappearance is recent, save the details first and get in touch. We assess the mission according to the actual location and conditions, without promises that cannot be guaranteed.
Send the detailsWrite down the exact last known location, time and direction of travel, prepare a recent photo and keep one reliable contact available for reports. Inform veterinary practices, the local shelter and the JIC lost-animal database. Organise the search without a crowd of people who could frighten the dog further.
For an assessment of an RGB and thermal drone search, call EnergizeDrone on +385 95 822 6318 or send the location and a photo via the contact page. The team will check the terrain, airspace, weather, temperature conditions and availability and tell you honestly whether a mission makes sense at that moment.
It can help spot thermal contrast in open areas, along forest edges and between sparser vegetation, especially when the background is cooler. A thermal camera cannot see through a dense, opaque canopy, walls or roofs. Every potential detection must be confirmed with an RGB view and by a team on the ground.
Early morning, evening or night often give better temperature contrast than the sunny part of the day, but there is no universal rule. The result is affected by the season, how warm the ground and objects are, wind, precipitation, vegetation and the animal’s behaviour. Timing is assessed for the specific location and current conditions.
Send a clear photo, the dog’s name and description, the exact last known location and time, the likely direction, temperament, behaviour towards strangers, reports so far and a map of areas already searched. Also mention obstacles, power lines, buildings, dense vegetation or other known limitations on the ground.
No. A drone can search the agreed zones more quickly and give a better view of open or hard-to-reach terrain, but success depends on where the animal is, vegetation, temperature, weather, airspace and the time since it went missing. EnergizeDrone assesses feasibility and does not promise a result that cannot be guaranteed.
Send the last known location, time, a photo, a description of the dog, the likely direction and current reports. EnergizeDrone will check the conditions and let you know whether a meaningful RGB and thermal search can be organised.
