4K Low-Light CMOS Sensor
The ND40 uses a listed 4K low-light CMOS image sensor.
A high-resolution digital sensor may provide:
- Detailed daytime imaging
- Improved low-light scene visibility
- Better image presentation during digital enlargement
- Clearer photo and video capture
- More visible environmental detail
- Full-colour operation when sufficient light is available
Before publication, confirm the exact sensor resolution, such as:
- 3840 × 2160
- 4096 × 2160
- Another manufacturer-defined 4K format
The sensor resolution, display resolution, saved-photo resolution, and video-recording resolution should be listed separately.
Day and Night Operation
The ND40 operates as a digital viewing system rather than a thermal imaging device.
During daytime use, it relies on visible and low-light illumination.
During nighttime use, it uses an infrared illuminator to provide light that can be detected by the CMOS sensor.
Unlike a thermal camera, digital night vision normally requires:
- Ambient light
- Moonlight
- Starlight
- Artificial illumination
- Infrared illumination
It does not detect heat signatures.
60 Hz Frame Rate
The listed camera frame rate is 60 Hz.
A higher refresh rate may provide smoother imaging during:
- Handheld movement
- Scanning
- Observation of moving subjects
- Digital zoom
- Video recording
Before publication, confirm whether 60 Hz applies to:
- Live-view display
- Camera sensor output
- Recorded video
- All image resolutions
- Day and night modes equally
40 mm Objective Lens
The ND40 includes a 40 mm objective lens.
This lens may provide a balance between:
- Light collection
- Field of view
- Subject detail
- Device size
- Long-distance observation
Before publication, confirm:
- Lens aperture
- Lens coating
- Minimum focusing distance
- Focus-ring range
- Daylight filter requirements
- Protective lens-cap inclusion
Side Focus
Side focus is listed as supported.
Confirm whether the side control adjusts:
- Objective focus
- Image sharpness
- Digital parallax correction
- Screen settings
- Another function
Objective focus and eyepiece diopter adjustment should be described separately.
Magnification Conflict
The specifications list:
The description also states continuous zoom from 4x to 16x.
Before publication, confirm whether the device provides:
- Three fixed digital zoom steps
- Smooth continuous digital enlargement
- 4x optical base magnification plus digital zoom
- Automatic zoom linked to rangefinder data
Digital zoom enlarges the displayed image but does not increase native sensor detail.
Automatic Zoom Claim
The description states that the system automatically enlarges the image based on measured distance.
This feature should only be advertised if official documentation confirms:
- How the distance threshold is selected
- Available automatic zoom levels
- Manual override
- Whether it uses laser-ranging information
- Whether it operates in both day and night modes
- Whether the feature is included in all firmware versions
Daytime Observation Range
The listed daytime range is approximately 0–1,000 metres.
The final listing should clarify whether this means:
- Detection distance
- Recognition distance
- Clear observation distance
- Maximum viewing distance under ideal conditions
Actual daytime performance depends on:
- Atmospheric clarity
- Target size
- Lighting
- Contrast
- Lens focus
- Digital zoom
- Display resolution
Nighttime Observation Range
The listed nighttime range is approximately 0–400 metres.
Night performance depends heavily on:
- Infrared wavelength
- Infrared output power
- Beam focus
- Ambient light
- Weather
- Target reflectivity
- Camera sensitivity
The 400 m value should not be guaranteed without specified test conditions.
Integrated Laser Rangefinder
The ND40 includes an integrated laser rangefinder.
Two maximum-distance claims are supplied:
These values are not equivalent.
Before publication, confirm:
- Correct maximum range
- Range on reflective targets
- Range on non-reflective targets
- Minimum ranging distance
- Measurement accuracy
- Laser wavelength
- Laser classification
- Single-ranging mode
- Continuous-ranging mode
- Available units
The laser-ranging distance should remain separate from day and night viewing distances.
Infrared Illuminator
The ND40 is listed with illumination support.
Before publication, confirm:
- Built-in or external IR illuminator
- Infrared wavelength, such as 850 nm or 940 nm
- Output power
- Brightness levels
- Adjustable beam focus
- Maximum practical illumination distance
- Replaceable or integrated design
- Independent power source
An 850 nm illuminator may provide greater range with a faint visible red glow, while 940 nm illumination is generally less visible but may have reduced range.
Display System
The display specifications are not supplied.
Before publication, confirm:
- OLED, AMOLED, LCOS, or LCD technology
- Display resolution
- Physical display size
- Brightness adjustment
- Contrast adjustment
- Colour modes
- Refresh rate
- Screen timeout
- Eye-protection settings
The display resolution should not be confused with the 4K sensor resolution.
Eye Relief
The listed exit-pupil or eye-relief distance is approximately 50–100 mm.
Before publication, confirm:
- Recommended eye position
- Eyepiece diameter
- Rubber eyecup inclusion
- Diopter range
- Whether full screen visibility is maintained throughout the stated range
Digital Reticle System
The ND40 includes five listed digital reticle patterns and a 2 MOA dot size.
Before publication, confirm:
- Available patterns
- Colour options
- Brightness levels
- Position adjustment
- Saved profiles
- Scaling during digital zoom
- Whether the reticle appears in recordings
The 2 MOA value should be verified at the native magnification and display setting.
First Focal Plane Claim
The device is listed as first focal plane.
Because the ND40 uses a digitally generated on-screen reticle, traditional optical focal-plane terminology may not apply in the same manner as it does to a conventional optical scope.
Publish this claim only if the manufacturer confirms that the digital reticle scales proportionally with magnification.
Picture-in-Picture Mode
Picture-in-picture mode may show an enlarged section of the scene while retaining the wider image.
This may help with:
- Detailed observation
- Maintaining scene awareness
- Using high digital magnification
- Monitoring a selected area
Confirm:
- PIP magnification
- Window position
- Window size
- Whether it appears in recordings
- Whether it works in day and night modes
Video Recording
The ND40 supports onboard video recording.
Before publication, confirm:
- Maximum video resolution

The final listing should explain whether manual compass calibration is required.
Unit Switching
The ND40 supports switching between measurement units.
Confirm whether the available options include:
- Metres
- Yards
- Kilometres
- Feet
Temperature units should not be mentioned unless the device includes temperature measurement.
Ten Menu Languages
The device supports ten menu languages.
Before publication, confirm the exact language list for the selected firmware.
Language availability may differ by region or production batch.
