How to choose thermal imager or night vision device?

1.Hunting environment

It is important to know in advance the environment of the area you will be hunting. If there is dense jungle or heavy fog, a thermal imaging camera will be more suitable. Because whether it is dense forest or heavy fog, it will not affect its detection of heat in the slightest. But if you are going to an icy and snowy area with extremely low temperatures, thermal imaging cameras are not suitable, because extremely low temperatures will affect the quality of thermal imaging. At this time, it is wise to choose a night vision device.

2.Light

The image-enhanced night vision device needs a light source to form an image. If you are going to hunt in extremely remote mountains, you may not be able to see your fingers around, and there is no light. Only a thermal imager can come in handy. And if the hunting ground is often breezy and the sky is full of stars, the night vision device can also be used.

Since thermal imaging cameras detect heat, small animals hidden in dense jungle or covered by fog can often be found. However, because it forms a thermal image, it often fails to show details. Hunters need to accumulate a certain amount of experience to find the deadly part of their prey.

3.Price

The price of a night vision device is about a quarter of that of a thermal imager. And different configurations have different prices.
