Dual-Sensor Thermal & Low-Light Imaging

The monocular incorporates two dedicated imaging systems within one compact device.

The thermal channel detects infrared energy emitted by people, animals, equipment and surrounding objects, allowing heat signatures to be observed without visible illumination.

The separate digital low-light channel uses an ultra-sensitive CMOS sensor to capture visible scene information in low-light environments.

Together, the two imaging systems provide users with thermal heat detection and conventional scene observation from a single portable device.

384 × 288 Vanadium Oxide Thermal Detector

The thermal channel uses an uncooled 384 × 288 vanadium oxide focal-plane detector with a 17 μm pixel pitch.

The detector operates across an 8–14 μm spectral range, providing long-wave infrared imaging for:

• Heat-source detection
• Night-time thermal observation
• Wildlife monitoring
• Property inspection
• Farm monitoring
• Equipment inspection
• Outdoor thermal scanning

NETD ≤50 mK Thermal Sensitivity

The thermal detector provides a specified NETD of ≤50 mK at 300K.

This thermal sensitivity enables the imaging system to distinguish temperature differences within a scene and produce useful thermal contrast between warmer and cooler objects.

19 mm Germanium Thermal Lens

The thermal channel features a 19 mm germanium objective lens specifically designed for transmitting long-wave infrared energy to the thermal detector.

Combined with the 384 × 288 detector, the lens provides a practical viewing configuration for short- to medium-range thermal observation and broad-area scanning.

640 × 480 Low-Light CMOS Camera

A separate 640 × 480 ultra-sensitive CMOS sensor provides the monocular's digital low-light imaging capability.

The low-light channel uses a 12 mm fixed-focus objective lens and provides a minimum focusing distance of approximately 0.2 metres.

This imaging channel provides conventional scene information that complements the heat signatures displayed by the thermal sensor.

1x to 5x Digital Viewing

Both imaging channels provide 1x base magnification with digital enlargement up to 5x.

The adjustable digital zoom allows users to enlarge selected areas of the displayed thermal or low-light image during observation.

25 Hz Thermal Refresh Rate

The thermal imaging system operates at 25 Hz, providing responsive image presentation during handheld scanning and observation.

The refresh rate supports comfortable viewing when scanning outdoor environments or following movement within the thermal scene.

Nine Thermal Colour Palettes

The monocular provides nine selectable thermal colour palettes, allowing heat signatures and temperature differences to be presented using multiple visual modes.

The different palette options provide flexibility for changing environments, backgrounds and observation requirements.

640 × 480 LCOS Display

Thermal and digital imagery is presented through an integrated 640 × 480 LCOS display.

The viewing system also provides approximately ±5 diopter adjustment, three brightness levels and menu-controlled brightness and contrast adjustment for comfortable viewing.

Photo & Video Recording

Integrated digital recording provides:

• Still-image capture
• Video recording
• File playback
• File deletion
• Date and time settings

These functions allow important thermal and low-light observations to be recorded and reviewed directly through the device.

8GB TF Card Storage

The monocular uses an 8GB TF storage card for recorded photographs and videos.

The removable storage format provides convenient management and transfer of captured media.

Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Power is supplied by a 3.7V 750mAh rechargeable 14500 lithium battery.

The electrical system operates at approximately 3.4–4.2V and supports a 5V/2A charging input, providing a compact rechargeable power solution for portable observation.

IPX4 Splash Resistance

The device carries an IPX4 protection rating, providing resistance against water splashes from different directions under the applicable IPX4 test conditions.

This protection supports outdoor operation while maintaining the monocular's lightweight and compact construction.

Compact 206 g Design

The monocular measures approximately:

Length: 102 mm
Width: 76 mm
Height: 49 mm
Weight: 206 g

Its lightweight construction makes it practical for handheld observation, equipment bags and portable field use.

1/4-20 Mounting Interface

A standard 1/4-20 mounting thread provides compatibility with suitable tripods, mounting adapters and observation equipment using the same thread specification.

Suitable Applications

The Dual-Sensor Thermal & Digital Night Vision Monocular is designed for:

• Wildlife observation
• Farm monitoring
• Property inspection
• Outdoor night-time viewing
• Search support
• Security patrols
• Machinery inspection
• Electrical inspection
• Camping and outdoor exploration
• Heat-source detection
• General thermal observation

Safety & Care

Avoid pointing either imaging sensor directly at the sun, lasers, welding arcs or other intense energy sources, as these can damage sensitive imaging components.

Keep the thermal and digital lenses clean and dry, close protective covers during outdoor operation and store the monocular securely when not in use.
