Bzigo Iris is an Israeli device designed to help you get rid of mosquitoes. This solution will give you peace of mind from these undoubtedly annoying insects, which are particularly pesky during the summer.

Every summer, people complain not only about the heat but also about mosquitoes. The warming climate makes these insects, which have been merely irritating, a potential additional threat due to the emergence of new species, such as the tiger mosquito.

However, we don't have to rely solely on traditional means like mosquito nets or less effective repellents. Technology offers a new solution. The Bzigo Iris device is a good way to eliminate mosquitoes.

The equipment developed by this Israeli company does not eliminate mosquitoes by itself. However, it offers a significant advantage: it can locate mosquitoes.

Bzigo Iris - mosquito laser pointer

Bzigo Iris can detect and track mosquitoes in flight. When they land, the device marks their position with a laser pointer. Importantly, this solution works even when the mosquito takes off again and lands elsewhere.

Regardless of how many times the mosquito moves, it will always be indicated by a safe laser marker for human eyes. This makes it easy to eliminate using the electric swatter included in the set. If multiple mosquitoes are in the room, the pointer will move between them, showing each one in turn.

A significant advantage of Bzigo Iris is its efficiency regardless of the time of day and lighting conditions. The device handles mosquito detection during the day, at night, and under artificial lighting, making it suitable for use in any home environment.

The core of Bzigo Iris's operation is a high-resolution camera and LEDs emitting infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. Thanks to special image processing algorithms, the device can distinguish mosquitoes from other insects, such as moths and floating dust particles.

Will Bzigo Iris become a household solution for dealing with mosquitoes? It's difficult to predict at this moment. However, for technology enthusiasts, such a device could be both a practical tool and a fun gadget.
