Which is better, night vision goggles or thermal imaging goggles?

2024-11-05 Visits:

night vision and thermal imager each have advantages and disadvantages, the specific use of which is better depends on the use scenario and needs ‌.


‌Features of night vision ‌:

‌advantage ‌: good clarity at night, the price is relatively cheap, the use distance is generally within 200 meters, suitable for use in the sky environment, the imaging is green, suitable for long-term observation, and more power saving, can be used for about 20 hours.

‌ disadvantages ‌ : The use distance is short, the imaging clarity may be low, if it is blocked by grass, it is difficult to find the target. ‌


‌ Features of thermal imager :

‌ advantage ‌: The detection distance is long, even if the target is hiding behind the grass can be easily found, not disturbed by light, can highlight the high-temperature object.

‌disadvantages : the price is more expensive, the screen reaction speed is relatively slow, can not help aiming, and by the object temperature difference interference, can not be observed through the glass, high brightness may be dazzling.


‌ Application scenario Comparison ‌:

‌night vision ‌: more suitable for night observation, especially in the sky environment, such as field exploration, night patrol, etc. At the same time, due to its low price, it is also suitable for users with limited budgets.


‌thermal imager : more suitable for remote detection or search of high-temperature objects, such as hunting, search and rescue, security monitoring and so on. Despite the higher price, its unique thermal imaging function makes it irreplaceable in some specific scenarios.

In summary, night vision and thermal imager have their own advantages and disadvantages and applicable scenarios. The choice should be balanced according to the specific needs and budget.
