The new brand arrives at NEHA in Kansas City, along with owl chocolates, owl toys, and games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — GovOwl, the new government brand of Inspect2GO, Inc., debuts August 3 and 4 at the National Environmental Health Association’s Annual Educational Conference & Exhibition (NEHA AEC).

Why the New Brand

“We outgrew our name,” said Paul Smith, founder and CEO. “Inspect2GO described our first product. GovOwl describes our clients, the cities and counties we serve. The owl represents the agency leader who uses our software: watching over operations, seeing in the dark, gaining insight and wisdom. Plus…owls are cool.”

Local government is the backbone of every community, and the people who serve in it deserve technology that genuinely supports their work. So GovOwl builds it with people who have done the job. GovOwl account managers include former government officials. They’ve run government programs, sat through the budget meetings, and lived the paperwork. That experience shapes the software and the support behind it.

The GovOwl story began in California in 2011 as Inspect2GO. The company’s first government product shipped in 2013, one simple mobile app for food inspections. That app grew into a complete environmental health system, and from there into code enforcement, citizen portals, online payments, and community development. Agencies kept asking for more, and the company kept saying yes, expanding across departments and automating workflows agency-wide.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better protection has long been one of the defining challenges facing the phone case industry. In pursuit of higher drop-test ratings, many brands rely on thicker structures or additional materials. Yet these measures often compromise everyday comfort and limit design flexibility. With the Q3 Air Pro, TORRAS is addressing this long-standing trade-off through a new flagship case that redefines the future of phone protection.

Dual-layer Airbag Redefines Protection

Building on four generations of airbag innovation, TORRAS introduces the Q3 Air Pro, its latest flagship case with a newly engineered dual-layer airbag system. Powered by Air Duet™ technology, the dual-layer airbags along its top and bottom edges deliver enhanced protection through a smarter, lighter approach without relying on added bulk.

When the phone is dropped or bumped, the sealed airbags rapidly disperse impact energy throughout the system and quickly spring back. Designed for greater resilience, the Q3 Air Pro’s dual-layer airbag works in two stages to further reduce damage risk: the outer airbag intercepts the initial impact, while the inner airbag disperses the residual shock.

Protective Gear Built for Outdoor Adventure

More than a phone accessory, the Q3 Air Pro is protective gear designed for outdoor adventure, helping adventurers stay focused and perform at their best in demanding environments.

Inspired by the air-cushioning systems used in performance sneakers, the Q3 Air Pro combines responsive impact protection with a bold, futuristic athletic aesthetic. Its transparent outer airbag reveals the orange inner layer and twin-ribbed loop structure, making the engineering behind its protection clearly visible.

This visible construction offers reassurance, reducing concerns about device safety so outdoor enthusiasts can focus on the challenge ahead and move with greater confidence.

A 360° Rotatable Kickstand for Hands-Free Use

Beyond impact protection, the Q3 Air Pro is designed to make using a phone easier in outdoor environments. Its built-in magnetic stand combines multi-angle support, magnetic attachment and wireless charging within an ultra-slim stand ring.

With full 360-degree rotation and a 180-degree flip mechanism, users can position their phone at virtually any angle, while 18N of magnetic force allows it to attach securely to compatible metal surfaces.

This enables users to take calls, follow navigation and capture moments hands-free from virtually any angle, without carrying additional equipment on the move.

Details Made for the Journey

Every detail of the Q3 Air Pro is designed to meet the demands of outdoor enthusiasts. Refined through 576 texture adjustments, the back panel is engineered to withstand sweat, dirt and everyday wear. Rock-inspired grip textures along both sides provide a more secure hold.

Inside, the soft microfiber lining features a topographic contour pattern and the coordinates of Mount Everest—a subtle detail created for those who are always moving forward and already looking toward their next destination.

Alongside the flagship Q3 Air Pro, the protective Ostand case lineup also includes the lighter Q3 Rugg for everyday protection and the single-layer airbag case Q3 Air for more active pursuits. Together, the lineup reflects TORRAS’ commitment to creating diverse case options for the different ways people live, move and explore.

How to Choose Your First Birdwatching Thermal Camera? A Full Review of Thermal Master DV2, T2MAX and X2

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Birders are constantly seeking faster ways to spot hidden wildlife, and thermal imaging cameras have rapidly grown in popularity among birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Unlike standard optical binoculars, thermal optics deliver faster target detection: users can track avian activity long after sunset, and easily pick out birds concealed within dense foliage in broad daylight.

Thermal Master’s debut dedicated birding thermal DV earned runaway success across Southeast Asia, winning broad acclaim from local birding communities. The all-new DV2 now launches officially for European and North American birders, alongside the T2MAX smartphone thermal imager, to cover every mainstream birdwatching use case.

1. Million Units Sold: Thermal Master Birding Cameras Launch Across Europe & North America

As the world’s first consumer-grade dedicated thermal DV, the DV2 comes equipped with a 5-inch HD rotating touchscreen. Merging professional thermal detection performance with crisp high-definition imagery, it excels for birding, wildlife monitoring, backcountry camping and after-dark outdoor scouting.

A trailblazer and category leader in birding thermal technology, Thermal Master commands a 50% market share across core Asian birdwatching regions, powered by its exclusive bird-focused imaging tech and trusted by tens of thousands of avian enthusiasts.

The X2 serves as Thermal Master’s all-round entry-level smartphone thermal imager, built for long-range field birding and routine household thermal checks. Boasting ultra-light compact construction and sharp thermal output, the model has hit nearly 1 million unit sales throughout Asia, setting a landmark sales record in the mobile thermal imaging segment.

Built as the enhanced successor to the X2, the T2MAX offers full cross-compatibility with iOS and Android smartphones. It delivers drastically boosted sensor sensitivity and 50% extended detection range, reaching a maximum of 910 yards, and ranks among the world’s most compact portable thermal monoculars.

2. Five Core Technologies Behind Professional Birdwatching Thermal Imaging

2.1  High-Performance Outdoor Thermal Detector with NETD ≤15mK

Both the DV2 and T2MAX integrate VOx 256×192 @12μm microbolometer detectors, delivering industry-leading thermal sensitivity rated at NETD ≤15mK. This ultra-fine temperature resolution reliably picks up tiny species like winter wrens concealed under thick leaf cover.

2.2  Super Bird Finder 4.0 Achieving Zero Sky Effect

Conventional thermal cameras frequently suffer from the “sky effect” during birding sessions. When scanning tree canopies, frigid sky backgrounds force standard thermal devices to render treetops as hot zones, blending bird heat signatures into surrounding thermal clutter and making targets nearly impossible to isolate. Thermal Master’s proprietary Super Bird Finder 4.0 eliminates sky effect interference entirely, sharply separating avian heat signatures from background noise for instant identification of hidden birds.

2.3 Razor-Sharp X³ Super-Resolution Technology

The DV2 and T2MAX utilize identical 256×192 VOx microbolometers. Driven by the proprietary Razor-Sharp X³ super-resolution algorithm, native resolution scales up to 512×384, quadrupling total pixel volume. Beyond a standard FPGA imaging processor, both devices carry custom-built ASIC chips. Combined amplified processing power and optimized algorithms deliver crisper thermal outlines while retaining intricate environmental texture details.

2.4  F/0.8 HD Telephoto Large-Aperture Lens

Fitted with professional F/0.8 long telephoto large-aperture lenses, the DV2 and T2MAX maximize infrared light transmittance to boost thermal radiation capture efficiency. This guarantees crisp, detailed imaging of small distant avian targets amid complex outdoor terrain.

2.5  Insight+ 4.0 AI All-Season Adaptive Algorithm

Thermal Master’s award-winning P3, recipient of the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Award, demonstrates the full potential of its exclusive Insight+ 4.0 AI imaging algorithm. The system dynamically calibrates imaging parameters in real time to accommodate shifting seasons and variable field conditions. It sustains consistent thermal clarity across extreme thermal ranges, from frigid -20°C landscapes to humid 40°C tropical rainforests, suited for birding across every global climate zone.

3. Specifications & Performance Comparison
