FAQ

Collapsible content

Does night vision work in total darkness?

Yes. Thermal imaging needs no light at all, while low-light cameras use ambient starlight or moonlight.

Can I install it myself?

Most owners can. Follow the installation manual PDF above, or contact support for help.

Which display does it connect to?

The camera outputs to most modern MFDs and monitors — see the wiring diagram for details.

How far can I see at night?

It depends on the camera and conditions — watch the range test video above for a real-world example.
