Monocular, binocular or goggle, Gen 1 devices are the cheapest and most available night vision devices on the consumer market. Consumer Generation 1 is Night Owls specialty. All of their equipment is made to brighten and boost image contrast in darker conditions with in-built IR illumination.

Night time environments are usually rich with near infrared light. NVDS are sensitive to this particular light but there are instances when just a little more is desired. The near infrared is invisible to most humans and seen by only a few animals. Aside from the dull red glow of the illuminator element, the IR light is only going to be evident to another NVD and a handful IR sensitive animals.

Night Owl image intensifier tubes have a resolution of somewhere between 32 lp/mm and 36 lp/mm. This measurement is taken at the middle of the image. As you look to the edges of the image some distortion becomes apparent. A good deal of the Gen 1 edge distortion typical in Gen 1 is removed by the Night owl optics design. Their generation 1 devices are high quality, versatile and the prices are some of the best out there.
