What is the effective viewing range of a Night Vision Device?
It varies anywhere from 300 to 1500 feet. The viewing distance depends on the area, conditions and a size of your target. Overcast conditions, fog, rain and snow will significantly reduce the effective viewing range. On the other hand your viewing range will increase dramatically under clear skies and/or full moon. Light reflective surfaces such as snow or sand will also increase the effective viewing range of your night vision device. Infrared illuminator (IR) may help, especially in enclosed environments.
