Night vision devices can be equipped with additional functions.
More information:
Digital imaging
Digital night vision devices use a different technology, which makes the devices much cheaper.
Head mount
A head mount ensures the vision device is held steady in front of the eye. In addition, the hands are free for other tasks.
Infrared illuminator
Generates an invisible light which is detected by the night vision device. This makes it possible to see even in absolute darkness.
Overexposure protection
Protects the night vision device from bright light accidentally entering the optics.
Splash-proof
These devices may only be exposed to moderate moisture or light drops of water.
Threaded tripod connector
This allows the device to be mounted onto a standard photographic tripod with a 1/4" camera screw.
Video output
For transfer to a TV device or a grabber.
