Product description

How it sees in the dark

These are digital night vision binoculars. Instead of glass prisms they contain a camera sensor that is sensitive to near-infrared light, and a 3 W infrared lamp at 850 nm on the front. In darkness the lamp lights the scene with light your eyes cannot see, the sensor picks up what bounces back, and the picture appears in monochrome on the 3 inch screen inside the eyepieces. In daylight the same binoculars show a colour picture.

The supplier gives a viewing distance of 150 to 200 m in full darkness. Treat that as a best case: recognising a fox or a deer is possible at much shorter distances than spotting that something is there. Our guide How digital night vision works explains what to expect and how this differs from image intensifier and thermal devices.

Recording what you see

Press a button to save a photo or a video to the micro SD card. This version comes with a 32 GB card; the binoculars take cards up to 128 GB. The supplier lists video settings up to 4K and photo settings up to 36 MP. Those are the sizes of the saved files. The detail in them is limited by the 25 mm lens, the sensor and the light available, so do not expect a 4K picture from a night scene at the edge of the infrared range.

The 5x digital zoom enlarges the centre of the picture. It brings the image closer but does not add detail.

Power and practical use

A built-in 4000 mAh lithium battery powers the binoculars, and you charge it with the supplied USB cable from any USB charger or power bank (no mains charger is included). Batteries run down faster in the cold, so charge fully before a winter night out. The operating range given by the supplier is -20 to +60 C.

The 850 nm lamp shows a faint red glow at the front when it is on. Fog, rain and falling snow reflect infrared back into the lens and wash out the picture, and glass reflects it too, so step outside rather than looking through a window. Keep the lamp off people and their homes.

Questions about this product

Do these night vision binoculars work in complete darkness?

Yes, within the reach of the infrared lamp. The supplier gives 150 to 200 m in full darkness; you will recognise animals at shorter distances than that.

Can I use them in the daytime?

Yes. In daylight they show a colour picture and can record photos and video. Never point them at the Sun.

How do I charge them?

With the supplied USB cable from a USB charger, a computer or a power bank. A mains charger is not included.

Do the infrared lights show?

The 850 nm lamp shows a faint red glow at the front when it is on. Animals and people looking straight at the binoculars may notice it.
