Buyers Guide to Digital Night Vision
A Buyers Guide to Digital Night Vision
Digital NV devices use a CCD sensor and digital image processing combined with Infra Red illuminators to provide crisp clear image reproduction at night, as well as during the day.
Traditional tube NV devices are damaged by daylight, and therefore can only be used at night, but as these new digital models do not rely on the old tube intensifiers, they can be used for daytime viewing as well as night time.
Ideal for wildlife monitoring, hunting and security purposes with the performance and price to suit all budgets.

Pulsar Recon Digital Night Vision Monocular
The Pulsar Recon is a compact and lightweight NV device which has a great viewing range and is designed for monitoring wildlife movements, and security purposes.

Traditional NV tube devices output a green image, as that is commonly thought to be the most comfortable viewing colour. Digital NV devices output in black and white, and although sharper than a green Gen 1 tube, they are often found to be difficult to adjust to from complete darkness.
The Recon has a built in LCD Emmision control system, where you can change the LCD display emission to a colour of your choice.
Video Output to a recording device is a function that a lot of consumers are looking for. This is ideal for watching back night time footage of wildlife, and it means you can create a virtual library of your night time adventures.
Recon has a built in Video Output/Input socket for connection of external video recording sources or monitor.
