Digital IR Night Vision Vs Thermal and I2 Tube Technologies - 02/05/15 12:13 AM
I want to share my opinion on Digital IR Night Vision Vs Thermal and I2 Tube Technologies
Digital night vision technology is quite different from intensifier tube night vision or thermal. Digital has advanced greatly over the past few years. Our Digital Crosshairs product line incorporates CCD IR night vision board cameras with 1000 TVL (television lines) of resolution that were not available just a few years ago.
Digital has advanced to the point that the military is putting it on all new Apache copters, not thermal or Gen4.
Here is a link to an article about this Digital NV on Apache Copters
15 Reasons to choose digital IR night vision over intensifier tube or thermal:
1. High contrast black and white night vision, not green
2. Better image detail than more expensive intensifier tube or thermal devices
3. Better location awareness than thermal because of image detail
4. Good quality at a lower cost
5. Bright thermal requires eyes to re-adjust to darkness after viewing, digital does not
6. Better identification of people and animals with digital IR than heat imaging thermal
7. IR causes less eye fatigue than thermal
8. Digital IR night vision is perfectly silent
9. Digital night vision does not have sensitivity to bright light like I2 tube technology
10. Digital night vision can be adjust for brightness according to your need
11. Digital systems offer various ways to record what you see.
12. Digital night vision can see through glass windows, thermal can’t
13. No white out from warm building in cold climate conditions like thermal
14. Digital is generally lighter because it does not need tubes
15. Digital is an “instant on” product, no boot-up time required for many products.
