Night Vision & Thermal Cameras

Chasseur.com, the hunters' favorite site, offers you a section binoculars, rangefinders and spotting scopes within which you will find not only binoculars or monoculars but also night vision devices and thermal cameras. What we call 'cameras', when referring to thermal cameras, are in fact sensors. These so-called thermal cameras create images from emitted heat, not from visible light. Heat (also called infrared or thermal energy) and light are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a camera capable of detecting visible light will not pick up thermal energy, and vice versa. Chasseur.com offers in this range the most reputable brands such as Zeiss or even Bushnell. Cameras made according to the night vision goggle principle have limits similar to the human eye: without enough light, they do not allow clear vision. Thus, night vision goggles and other low-light cameras should not be used at dusk. Conversely, thermal cameras are not affected by visible light. They can therefore provide you with sharp images, even when you are viewing the setting sun. You should therefore be aware of this when making your choice in our section.
