What Is Digital Night Vision?
Digital night vision devices, like other passive optical night vision technologies, allow a viewer to perceive images in near-total darkness. They amplify low levels of ambient light to create a usable image, as opposed to other night vision devices such as thermal imagers and forward-looking infrared (FLIR), which rely on infrared light for illumination. Scopes, binoculars, monocles and cameras are made with digital night vision technology, and there is a large selection available to consumers.
