A Brief Introduction of Thermal And Night Vision Optics

If you are someone who lives in a place surrounded by a forest, you would require devices such as thermal and night vision optics, which will allow you to detect any strange activity in your surroundings.  

However, not everyone has a very clear idea of these devices. The following information will help you understand the basic uses and technology behind thermal and night vision optics.

Thermal Optics

Thermal Optics are ideal for people who want to keep something precious under surveillance. These devices can be used for surveillance all day long. Thermal optics are installed with advanced heat sensors that can detect heat patterns and project them on the screen.  However, these devices do not show the exact object but a cloud of heat radiations that they emit. 

Moreover, the different colors of the heat spectrum are used to differentiate between different objects in the surrounding. A very important aspect of the thermal optic is that it does not require any amount of light to produce a visible image on the screen. 

Uses of Thermal Optics

Thermal Optics available at AGM Global Vision can be used to do various tasks. 

Assist Firefighters

These devices can be employed in search and rescue operations of the fire department. Using thermal imagers, firefighters can easily see people behind smoke screens and easily rescue them. 

Hunting

If you are a farm owner, you would want to protect your produce from animals such as Hogs, who can break havoc on the crops. However, using a thermal optic, you can easily detect their movement in the cover of darkness.

These devices can also be mounted on top of rifles to assist in late-night hunting. Moreover, these devices are so lightweight and durable that they can be used in all terrains. 

Tactical Operations

Thermal devices, due to their mobility, can be easily carried in tactical operations. With their ability to detect heat patterns through walls, these devices are very crucial in many military operations.  

Police Surveillance

Police departments of many rich countries are equipped with thermal scanners which can be mounted on guns, giving an edge to these officers over any potential criminal. However, thermal imaging cannot be completely relied upon in such situations, as these imagers produce a heat pattern making and do not show the exact person producing these waves.

Night Vision Optics

These optics can be employed in situations where you need to detect objects in low light conditions. These devices need a small amount of light to produce a clear image. However, some night vision optics which are equipped with IR illuminators can help us see objects in the dark, but their range is governed by the range of illuminators. 

Moreover, a night vision optic will give you an exact visual of the person or object you are looking at. These optics cannot be used in covert operations as the IR illuminators will expose your position in the field. 

However, this optic can be used in hunting operations. Along with all these factors, these optics are cheaper than thermal optics. 

Uses of Night Vision Optics 

Night vision optics can be used in several instances, such as follows.

Hunting 

For hunting operations, these optics are ideal as these optics are durable enough to work under any condition. These optics allow hunters to scan and shoot at their targets at night with ease. 

Military Operations

Camouflage is an essential weapon of any tactical operation. Night vision, with its increased mobility, gives an edge to soldiers involved in these operations. Moreover, these optics generate a very clear image of objects, unlike thermal imagers, which only provide a heat pattern of targets.
