Hunting, surveillance, exploration—everything stops when the sun goes down. Until now. This digital night vision monocular turns night into day, letting you see and record up to 200 meters in complete darkness. 5x optical zoom brings distant details into sharp focus, while HD recording with timestamp captures every moment for evidence or review.

Wildlife Observation & Hunting
Spot and track animals without disturbing them. The silent IR illuminator won't spook game, while 5x zoom lets you identify species from a safe distance. Record remarkable nocturnal behaviors you'd otherwise miss.
Security & Surveillance
Monitor properties, borders, or sensitive areas without visible light. Record HD evidence with timestamp, then use the video-out connection for larger displays during extended operations.
Search & Rescue Operations
Locate missing persons in low-light conditions. The 200m viewing range and wide field of view help cover more ground quickly, while the water-resistant design works in rain or near water.
Outdoor Exploration
Navigate campsites, trails, or caves after dark. See obstacles clearly without blinding white light that ruins night vision. The lightweight design (345g) makes it easy to carry on any adventure.
How It Works
The monocular uses a sensitive Sony sensor to capture available light, amplified for night viewing. When ambient light is insufficient, the 850nm IR illuminator provides invisible infrared light. Images display on the built-in 1.5" screen and can be recorded to microSD card (up to 32GB, not included). Powered by 3x AA batteries for field-replaceable convenience.

FAQ
1. Can animals see the IR illuminator?
No. The 850nm wavelength is invisible to humans and most animals. Some species (like deer) may detect it as a faint red glow at close range, but generally it remains covert.
2. Does it record sound?
No, this model records video only. For audio recording, consider our audio-capable surveillance devices.
3. How do I transfer recordings to my computer?
Remove the microSD card and use a card reader, or connect directly via the included USB cable.
4. Is it waterproof?
Water-resistant against drops and splashes. Do not submerge. For full waterproofing, consider our marine-grade devices.
5. What's the difference between 1x magnification and 5x zoom?
1x is the base magnification (like normal vision). The 5x optical zoom brings subjects 5 times closer while maintaining image quality.
6. Can I use rechargeable AA batteries?
Yes, standard AA batteries work including rechargeable NiMH types. Runtime may vary slightly by battery chemistry.
