Bushnell Night Vision scopes are comprised of high quality image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell Night Vision monoculars and binoculars collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is “excited” by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV screen) which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image. This is a Generation I Night Vision device . If you

Things To Consider Before Buying Wireless Hidden Cameras

January 20, 2010 - 10:14 pm No Comments

Security is something that is sometimes optional; however, there are times when you really have no choice about securing your home or office. This is especially true when your business is at stake. These days, security systems are incredibly complex but, in spite of that, they are worth the effort and will give you much more security than you ever dreamed imaginable. Some security systems, in fact, are so complex and advanced that no one can even tell the system is there. One way to do that is to add devices such as motion sensors and high tech wireless hidden cameras to your security plan.

For example, the stores you often shop in are outfitted with security cameras. Most likely, the entire store is fitted with wireless security cameras, pointed in every conceivable direction. You may be able to see the cameras but, these days, many are hidden wireless cameras you won’t be able to see. In fact, they may be hidden in unusual places and are incredibly small. Unless you’re caught for stealing, these cameras go unnoticed and you won’t ever detect their presence.

The best selling wireless hidden cameras are so small you can’t see them unless you already know they are there. Often hidden behind walls, the cameras poke through tiny holes in the wall. In some cases, the cameras poke through miniature holes or cracks in the ceiling. Businesses sometimes locate the cameras inside or behind various displays in the store so that, unless you look hard, you won’t see anything. Stores with lot’s of expensive items almost always have these kinds of cameras watching for shoplifters.

What about using wireless hidden cameras inside your house? You can use them as the sole aspect of your security or as a part of a bigger security package. One commonly used hidden wireless camera system is what some people call the “nanny camera”. They can watch your babysitter twenty four hours a day or can make sure your maid is doing her job without stealing any of your belongings. You can feel safer, knowing that your house and your family are secure.

Wireless hidden cameras may be purchased in various places; however, searching for a system on the web may be the easiest way to do it. Some of these websites offer entire security systems or even Night Vision Cameras you can use anywhere. You can price items on the web and do comparison shopping. If you feel ready to buy your system, you can buy them from Internet suppliers. If you don’t feel right about shopping on the Internet, find a nearby specialty store that sells such items. Do your homework in advance and ask as many questions as you can. These items aren’t cheap and you want to be completely prepared before you purchase one.

How do night vision goggles/binoculars work?

January 13, 2010 - 1:46 am 3 Comments

Right, so just curious how they work and why they are so damn expensive.

Night vision goggles just amplify the light your looking at and allow you to see lower levels of light that the human eye cannot normally see. But they do require light to work, so if you were to look through them in complete darkness you still wouldn’t be able to see but even just moonlight is more then enough for them to work..

Then there’s thermal imaging which allows you to see heat signatures, Since these pick up heat not light they can work in total darkness but it can be difficult to see certain things with low heat from a distance.

They are so expensive because they are highly advanced technologies and anything optical related is going to be expensive because they require a lot of workmanship, even a pair of glasses can cost hundreds of dollars. Plus they are made almost exclusively for law enforcement and military operations they have to be very durable and made from high quality materials.

why doesn’t night vision camera unable to pick up color information from an object?

January 13, 2010 - 1:46 am 1 Comment


We see an object’s color because it reflects only the light of that particular color i.e particular frequency. for example green leaf reflects only green light but absorbs red and violet ends of the visible spectrum.
Night Vision Cameras do not use light rays of this spectrum as it is visible to human eye but gives another frequency of light and therefor the color cannot be predicted.

Are there nightvision addons for normal rifle scopes?

January 13, 2010 - 1:46 am 5 Comments

I’m making a super mega awesome sniper rifle and im going to use a normal scope for aiming. However i want a night vision addon. I want something i can either put on in front of or behind my normal scope and make it night vision.
Does anyone know of any night vision scopes/monoculars with picatinny/weaver rail mounts?
I dont want one if they have reticles or cross hairs, since my normal scope will have crosshairs already.

You’re going to make a "SUPER MEGA AWESOME ""SNIPER"" RIFLE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! Coool!

You should go find a shiny spoon for a bit and let this pass. – It’s sounding like you need more "airsoft" or Call of Duty time.

Do tower air traffic controllers have night vision binoculars?

January 13, 2010 - 1:46 am 5 Comments

I’m researching an accident that occured in 1978. I was wondering if tower controllers used FLIR or Night Vision Binoculars at that time, and if they could use them to verify a gear down emergency. Hoping I might even find a link to a site that explains this equipment.

No. In no tower that I have ever been in nor worked in has there been any kind of binoculars other than your standard set. That’s something I’ve never even heard of being used, ever. They really wouldn’t be of much use up there. At night, it’s simply up to the pilots to ensure their gear is down.
