Night Vision Devices

Night vision and digital optics

Digital night vision devices use a sensor and an infrared illuminator to display the scene even in the dark, and many models also work during the day. The collection includes HIKMICRO digital riflescopes and clip-ons such as the Cheetah and Alpex 4K series, multispectral binoculars, Sightmark, Yukon, and ATN optics, and NiteSite systems.

How to choose

• Usage: riflescope, clip-on to be mounted in front of the scope, or observation device.
• IR illuminator: 850 nm offers more range but is slightly visible, 940 nm is invisible to the naked eye but has a shorter range.
• Features: evaluate integrated rangefinder, video recording, app, and battery life.
• Regulations: check current regulations on the use of night vision devices for the activity you are practicing.
