What is IR Night Vision

Introduction to Infrared Night Vision
Infrared night vision technology has made an impact for military use, wildlife viewing activities and even home security systems. But what is infrared night vision – and how does it work? Let us go deeper into the world of IR night vision and see what it is all about, and what uses can be made of it.

Understanding Infrared Light
Infrared (IR) radiation is a kind of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light waves, but shorter than radio waves. It is present in all objects which are above absolute zero making it a good medium for detecting heat sources in utter darkness. Unlike visible light which can be denied access through darkness, IR light can pass through smoke, fog and some types of camouflage.

How IR Night Vision Works
Typically, IR night vision devices consist of two essential parts: an infrared sensor and an image intensifier. Infrared radiation from a body within a scene is captured by the infrared sensor, which converts it to electrical energy. This energy is sent to the image intensifier which ruins the signal, converts the signal to an image, and then reconstructs the image to produce an easily displayable one on a screen or through an eyepiece.

Applications of IR Night Vision  
The applications of IR night vision are quite numerous. As it is primarily used for surveillance, navigation, and target acquisition in the military field. It is also used by wildlife researchers to observe animals living in the natural habitat without any disturbances to their daily life. Many homes now have IR night vision cameras for security purposes making it easier to guard the home even during the night.
