Classification

You may already know that Infrared Scope is a magical device that allows you to see and aim at the target in dark or low-light environments. It can convert the target’s thermal energy into a visible light image, making your eyes like night vision devices. But do you know that night vision scopes also has different types, working methods and functions are also different, you need to choose the appropriate Infrared Scope according to your hunting needs and preferences.

Infrared Scope can be roughly divided into two types, one is called active Infrared Scope, and the other is called passive Infrared Scope. The difference between them is that active Infrared Scope needs to emit a beam of infrared light to illuminate the target, just like you use a flashlight, while passive Infrared Scope only needs to receive the target’s thermal radiation to form an image, just like you use a camera.

So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of Infrared Scope? Let’s take a look.

The advantage of active Infrared Scope is: it can be used in complete darkness such as night vision binoculars?, no matter whether there is a light source in the environment or not, it can let you see the target. And its price is relatively cheap, you don’t need to spend too much money to buy one. The disadvantage of active night vision scopes is: it will expose its own position, because its emitted infrared light will be seen by the target or other hunters, which will make you lose concealment and advantage. And its infrared light source has limited power and distance, and cannot cover a long range. If you want to hunt distant targets, it may not be enough.

The advantage of passive Infrared Scope is: it does not need to emit its own infrared light source, it will not expose its own position, allowing you to maintain concealment and advantage. And it can cover a long distance, allowing you to see farther targets. The image quality is also higher, clearer and more realistic. The disadvantage of passive night vision scopes is: it requires a certain amount of environmental light source to work normally, such as moonlight or starlight. If the environment is too dark, it will not be able to receive enough thermal radiation to form an image. And its price is relatively expensive, you need to spend more money to buy one.

So, according to different hunting scenarios and targets, you can choose the night vision scopes type that suits you. Generally speaking, if you want to hunt in complete darkness, or if your budget is limited, you can choose active Infrared Scope. If you want to hunt in a situation with a certain light source, or if you have higher requirements for image quality and distance, you can choose passive Infrared Scope.

Of course, this is just a rough classification, Night Scope
has many other subdivisions and characteristics, you can choose according to your specific needs and preferences. Below, we will introduce some suggestions and precautions on how to choose Infrared Scope for you, hoping to help you find the most suitable one for you.

Infrared sights are usually much more expensive than ordinary sights, because they use special infrared detectors and displays, which have high manufacturing costs and technical difficulties. If you only occasionally hunt at night or you just want to observe some nocturnal animals, then there is no need to buy a high-end infrared sight, you can choose some lower-grade infrared sights or other types of night vision devices, such as night vision devices or night vision glasses. This way, you can save some money while also meeting your basic needs.

The performance and quality of infrared sights may vary by brand and model, you need to spend time and energy to compare different products, understand their advantages and disadvantages and suitable scenarios and targets. You need to pay attention to some parameters, such as: resolution, magnification, field of view angle, detection distance, battery life, etc. These parameters will affect your observation and aiming effect and comfort. The higher the resolution, the clearer the image; the larger the magnification, the larger the target; the larger the field of view angle, the wider the field of view; the farther the detection distance, the larger the range; the longer the battery life, the longer the use time. Of course, it is not to say that these parameters are higher and better, because they will also bring some disadvantages or costs. The higher the resolution, the more expensive; the larger the magnification, the worse the stability; the larger the field of view angle, the less detail; the farther the detection distance, the lower the accuracy; the longer the battery life, the heavier. So there is no best infrared sight, only the most suitable infrared sight for you. You need to choose according to your specific needs.

The use method and precautions of infrared sights may be different from ordinary sights, you need to learn some new skills and knowledge in order to better use the functions of infrared sights. You need to understand how to adjust the color and brightness of infrared images according to different temperature contrasts, so that you can more clearly distinguish between targets and backgrounds. Understand how to judge its nature and distance according to the shape and movement of the target accurately select your shooting point. Understand how to avoid infrared interference and reflection to hide your position more safely. These skills and knowledge may require you to learn and master through reading manuals, watching videos or actual operation.
