Night Vision Rifle Scopes

There are 3 distinct types of night vision scopes; Thermal imaging, Image Intensification(I^2), and Digital night vision scopes. These three technologies come with 3 very different sets of advantages and disadvantages. Thermal imaging is the most effective tool for detection of living things, or anything with a heat signature which makes it the most popular type of night vision for nighttime hog hunting, coyote hunting, and predator hunting. Image intensification also called I^2 is best equipped for recognition or positive ID of facial features which makes it the most widely used technology in law enforcement and military applications. Recently thermal imaging has advanced to a point where facial recognition is possible, and thermal vs I^2 for positive ID is a topic of debate. Digital night vision is the lowest priced night vision on the market, but still offers enough image quality to be an effective night hunting and surveillance tool. There is a variety of thermal hog hunting, thermal coyote and predator hunting, and digital night vision videos on our YouTube Channel to help educate the public on the different types of night vision.
