For example the Luna Optics LN-DM5 Digital Night Vision Monocular compares with and beats many Gen 1 devices, yet at around $180 / £150 costs quite a bit less than many of them. The main one is price – most digital products are cheaper and it can give results that are comparable to earlier Gen 1 devices at less cost and without many of the distortions. Main Advantagesĭigital Night Vision offers a number of advantages over the more conventional intensifier tube night vision devices. This is because it is important if you are trying to remain undetected by what you are viewing to keep yourself as inconspicuous as possible. On most Night Vision equipment, the micro-display will probably take the form of an eyepiece which you look into to view the image rather than on an LCD screen as you find on most digital cameras. This micro-display technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques. This electrical signal is then transferred onto a micro-display, which is a type of LCD flat-panel display screen in which each pixel is controlled by between one to four transistors. But instead of focusing this light on an intensifier and converting the energy into electrons, most digital night vision devices process and convert this optical image into an electric signal through a highly sensitive CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) image sensor, similar to what is found in most digital cameras and other imaging devices. How Digital Night Vision WorksĪs with a normal night vision binocular or monocular, available light is collected through the objective lens. Indeed you may have even already used it on some video cameras that can shoot at night, using what is often referred to as a “0 Lux” mode. The core technology for Digital Night Vision has actually been around for a while, even though in comparison to the more commonly used intensifier tubes on “standard” night vision devices, it is still relatively new.
