"Night navigation" Marine night-vision goggles is a specially designed for ship's safe navigation at night of high-tech night vision products, set high sensitivity infrared detectors, infrared germanium lens, the light camera, spherical shield, high speed yuntai is equal to one, it can penetrate the dark, in the fog and snow environment also has good performance, can provide all-weather monitoring image. In the ship navigation at night, it can timely monitor the obstacles on the channel and the situation of the water surface. In the daytime, the use of high-definition color automatic focusing camera can monitor the distant targets on the water surface, so that the pilot can make a quick response, and effectively protect the safety of the ship and its personnel and cargo.

At night, when the temperature is +25℃.RH65%, the detection distance of Marine night vision instrument to identify thermal targets above 24m×8m is about 4-5km, and the recognition distance is about 2-3 km.

The surface is anti - oxidation, anti - salt spray, anti - mold spraying. Hurricane-resistant, capable of operating at winds up to 150 kilometers per hour. Remote defrost, anti-fogging function, waterproof and high and low temperature resistance characteristics, can adapt to all kinds of harsh environment all-weather work, suitable for all kinds of ship installation and use.
