Thermal, Night Vision & Digital Optics

Q: NETD

The expression stands for “Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference” . It is a measure for how well a thermal imaging detector is able to distinguish between very small differences in thermal radiation in the image. NETD is typically being expressed in milli-Kelvin (mK). To simplify, the lower number mK, the more sensitive to Thermal Signatures the optic will be.

There are many aspects that come into play when selecting the right optic, including form factor, features and price. Use our advanced filtering options below to narrow your search in finding your new Digital Optic

Whilst the term Detection Range may seem obvious, it does have slight differences depending on the type of optic in use.
For Thermal Optics, Detection Range refers to the range that the optic can detect and display Thermal Signatures.
For Night Vision Optics, Detection Range refers to the operational range of Night Vision display.

Hotspot allows the Optic to connect wirelessly to another device, usually a phone. This allows the user to review recorded media, update software and modify various other customisation options.

The PiP function (Picture-in-Picture) allows you to see both a magnified image in a particular dialog box and the main unmagnified image at the same time.

The refresh rate is critical for aiming at moving objects. It refers to the number of times the frame of an image changes per second. The principle here is that the more a scope refreshes to capture a scene, the more it is able to deliver a clear picture of the scene. It's just like playing games on a screen - the higher the frame rate, the more information it is able to get to you.

When entering Standby Mode, the Optic turns off it's main display whilst the remaining powered on, allowing the user to quickly turn the display back on when needed without the delay of a full power up. This feature can be incredibly useful to reduce battery consumption when not in use without sacrificing time to power up.
