1. What is the working principle of night vision goggles?

Night vision goggles use two major technologies: low-light night vision and infrared night vision. The former enhances weak ambient light (such as moonlight, starlight, etc.) through an optical system and converts it into a visible image; the latter uses the infrared radiation of the target to form an image, which can be divided into active and passive types.

2. What are the applicable fields of night vision goggles?

Night vision goggles are widely used in military defense, wildlife observation, navigation and aviation, search and rescue operations, and law enforcement. For example, in the military, night vision goggles can assist soldiers in performing reconnaissance, search, aiming and other tasks at night. In wildlife observation, night vision goggles allow observers to observe without disturbing the nighttime behavior of animals.

3. What are the types of night vision goggles?

Night vision goggles mainly include low-light night vision goggles, infrared night vision goggles and thermal imagers. Low-light night vision goggles use ambient light for observation, infrared night vision goggles form images by detecting infrared radiation, and thermal imagers form images based on the differences in infrared radiation of objects. The night vision goggles of the Starry Sky Huiye LK series have both infrared and full-color dual-use functions.

4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of night vision goggles?

Advantages: Night vision goggles can provide a clear view at night or in low-light environments, making it convenient for people to carry out night activities. Some high-end night vision goggles also have features such as long-distance observation, high resolution, and day and night dual-use.

Disadvantages: The field of view of night vision goggles is usually small and may be affected by factors such as weather and environment. In addition, some night vision goggles have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced or repaired regularly.

5. How to choose and buy night vision goggles?

When purchasing night vision goggles, you need to choose according to your own needs and budget. Different night vision goggles have different functions, performance and prices. Generally, you need to pay attention to parameters such as magnification, resolution, field of view, weight, battery life, and also consider factors such as brand and after-sales service.

6. How to maintain night vision goggles?

Things to note when maintaining night vision goggles: Prevent night vision goggles from being affected by extreme temperature, humidity or vibration; Clean the lens and housing regularly to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the imaging effect; In case of malfunction or damage, please seek professional repair services or contact the manufacturer for repair.

7. What is the impact of the magnification of night vision goggles on use?

The magnification of night vision goggles determines the clarity of the observed target. High magnification can significantly improve the clarity of distant targets, but at the same time it may reduce the field of view, and requires a stable handheld or fixed method. Low magnification provides a larger field of view, but may affect the clarity of distant targets. Therefore, when purchasing night vision goggles, it is necessary to weigh them according to actual needs.

8. What is the role of the infrared illumination function of night vision goggles?

The infrared illumination function of night vision goggles illuminates the target by emitting infrared light, allowing the night vision goggles to observe the target even without ambient light. This function is particularly useful in a completely dark environment, because infrared light is invisible and it is not easy to expose the user's position. However, it should be noted that infrared illumination will consume the battery life of night vision goggles and may make the target visible to other infrared detectors.

9. What are the similarities and differences between thermal imagers and night vision goggles?

Both thermal imagers and night vision goggles are suitable for night observation, but their working principles and imaging methods are different. Thermal imagers form images by detecting infrared radiation emitted by objects, which can show the temperature distribution and heat changes of objects. Night vision goggles observe targets by enhancing weak ambient light or using infrared illumination. Thermal imagers are not affected by light, can work in a completely dark environment, and are sensitive to heat source target detection. However, the image quality of thermal imagers may not be as good as that of night vision goggles, and the price is relatively high.

10. What is the battery life of night vision goggles?

The battery life of night vision goggles depends on the model, function and usage. Generally speaking, night vision goggles with long usage time and rich functions consume more power. To extend battery life, energy-saving measures such as reducing brightness and reducing usage time can be taken. In addition, using rechargeable batteries is also a good choice. They can be charged in time when the battery is low to avoid frequent battery replacement.

11. How is the protective performance of night vision goggles?

The protective performance of night vision goggles is crucial to their service life and performance stability. Some high-end night vision goggles have functions such as waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, and can work normally in harsh environments. When purchasing night vision goggles, you can pay attention to parameters such as protection level and waterproof performance to ensure that they are suitable for various usage environments.

12. How to use and maintain night vision goggles correctly?

Correct use and maintenance of night vision goggles are the key to ensuring their long-term stable operation. When using, night vision goggles should be protected from extreme temperatures, humidity or vibration, and collisions and falls should be avoided. After use, the lens and housing should be cleaned in time to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the imaging effect. When not in use for a long time, they should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment. If repair or maintenance is required, please seek the assistance of professionals to avoid damage caused by self-disassembly or repair.
