What is the effective range of night vision?
A. It varies anywhere from 10-400 feet, and with a weapons adapter, or a dedicated weapon scope, the range can be well over 400 yards. The maximum viewing distance depends on the conditions of use. Overcast conditions, fog, rain; etc. may reduce the effective distance of a night vision. An Infrared Illuminator will increase viewing range, especially in enclosed areas like a warehouse, cave, or thick brush. The Infrared illuminator will not be effective at long ranges when using weapons scopes. You can, however, use remote infra red lamps to improve conditions at great distances.
A. It varies anywhere from 1-1800 feet. The maximum viewing distance depends on the conditions of use and upon model chosen. Overcast conditions, fog, rain; etc. may reduce the effective distance of a night vision. An Infrared Illuminator will increase viewing range, especially in enclosed areas like a warehouse, cave, or thick brush.
