Key performance metrics for thermal and night vision equipment are categorized.
1. Resolution
The main criterion for evaluating thermal imaging night vision equipment is resolution, which is also one of the factors that determines how much they cost. The three resolutions of thermal imaging night vision equipment are typically 160*120, 336*256, and 640*480. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan are the price range.
2. The resolution of the built-in screen
We are actually seeing at the LCD screen within the target when we use the thermal imaging night vision gadget to view it. The finest brands of thermal imaging night vision gadgets have very high resolution and clarity incorporated into their built-in screens. For instance, RNO's thermal imaging night vision equipment uses a top-of-the-line OLED 800*600 screen for its built-in display. Better field of view and clarity of observation are made possible by this.
3. Binocular or Monocular
In terms of comfort and observation effect, binoculars outperform monoculars greatly. Binocular thermal imaging night vision systems will, of course, be significantly more expensive than monocular thermal imaging night vision equipment. Compared to monocular night vision devices, binocular thermal imaging night vision devices will have a considerably higher level of production technology. Only two businesses in the entire world currently use this production technology, RNO and HST.
4. Magnification
Due to technical bottlenecks, the physical magnification of thermal imaging night vision devices is only within 3 times for most small factories. Currently the maximum magnification that can be produced is 5 times.
5. External recording device
Well-known manufacturers offer alternatives for external recording devices that can record straight to the SD card when used with thermal imaging night vision gear. Additionally, using the remote control device, remote shooting can be done.
