What types of night vision devices are there?
Night vision equipment can be roughly divided into three broad categories:
Sights - Sights are generally handheld or mounted on weapons, and they have a monocular (one eye) body. Since the observation scope is a handheld device and is not worn on the body like an eyepiece, this type of observation scope is more suitable when you want to observe a specific target in more detail and then return to normal observation conditions.
Eyepieces – Although eyepieces can also be handheld, they are usually worn on the forehead. The eyepiece adopts a binocular (two eyes) lens body, and can use a single lens or a compound lens depending on the style. Eyepieces are the best choice for long-term observations, such as when patrolling around buildings in very poor lighting.
night vision goggles
Cameras - Cameras with night vision technology can transmit images to a monitor for instant playback, or a video recorder can be used to record the transmitted images. Cameras come in handy when we need high-quality night vision observations at a constant location, such as on a fixed building, or when the night vision device is equipped as a helicopter's airborne equipment. Many newer cameras already have built-in night vision capabilities.
Analysis of the current situation of night vision devices
Compared with foreign countries, China's research on night vision devices started relatively late. Since the 1960s, with the joint efforts of the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Kunming Institute of Physics and some universities, research on night vision technology in China's military field has developed rapidly, but it is expanding to the civilian field. But it has never been done well.
Therefore, as the number of night vision device manufacturers in China continues to increase, the future research and development of night vision device products will focus on the civilian market. Products such as night vision devices for automobiles and night vision devices for cameras will become the focus of future market development.
As China's economy continues to grow at a rapid pace, China's night vision device market demand will grow significantly. We predict that the night vision device market will maintain a growth rate of about 15% in the next few years, and domestic brands will further make breakthroughs in product quality and technology. Occupy a larger market share.
