What Is Digital Night Vision and Why Choose It?
Unlike thermal vision, which detects heat, digital night vision works in a similar way to a very light-sensitive video camera. It uses a CMOS sensor that captures ambient light (moon, stars) and amplifies it to create an image visible on an internal screen.
In complete darkness, these devices rely on an infrared (IR) illuminator, a kind of "flashlight" invisible to the human and animal eye, which bathes the scene in IR light so the sensor can see with total clarity. It is the ideal technology for obtaining sharp, recognizable images of the surroundings and animals.
Who Is an Avistar Device Ideal For?
Avistar has been designed with a very specific user profile in mind. It is your brand if:
- You are just getting started: It is the perfect way to discover the possibilities of night hunting or observation without the expense required for a thermal device.
- You are looking for the best value for money: No other technology offers so much performance for such a low cost.
- You will use it for waiting and stakeouts: These are perfect devices for surveillance and observation at short and medium distances (up to 150-200 meters), where clear identification of the animal is key.
- You need a backup device: Many experienced hunters use an Avistar digital monocular as secondary equipment or to lend to a companion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Avistar
Is Avistar a good brand?
A: Absolutely. In its segment, Avistar is one of the best brands on the market. It offers excellent reliability and image quality for entry-level digital night vision devices, representing a smart investment for anyone looking for functionality at a reasonable price.
What is the main difference between an Avistar (digital) and a thermal device?
A: The difference is the technology. Digital vision (Avistar) amplifies light and uses IR to see in the dark, providing a real black-and-white or green image. Thermal vision detects heat signatures and creates an image based on temperature differences. Thermal "sees" heat through light vegetation or fog, while digital provides a more detailed image of the animal and its surroundings.
Can I use an Avistar device during the day?
A: Yes, most digital night vision devices can be used during the day without being damaged, unlike older intensifier tubes. Many models even offer color vision during the day.
