Civilian ordinary grade

Uncooled: Ordinary civilian uncooled thermal imaging night vision devices are used in outdoor adventures, home security and other scenes. The price is relatively low, generally around 2,000-5,000 yuan, such as Yingrui Thermal Imaging High-definition Outdoor Infrared Thermal Imager Patrol Ship R1, which is priced at 2,399 yuan.

Cooled: Refrigerated thermal imaging night vision devices are rarely used in the civilian field. They are generally used in professional fields such as scientific research institutions and high-end industrial testing. The price is more than 100,000 yuan. For example, some cooled thermal imagers used for aerospace material testing may cost around 500,000 yuan.

Industrial grade

Uncooled type: Industrial grade uncooled thermal imaging night vision devices are used for power inspection, industrial equipment fault detection, etc., with a price of about 5,000-30,000 yuan, such as some infrared uncooled thermal imagers used for industrial temperature measurement, with a price of 8,000-20,000 yuan.

Refrigerated type: In the industrial field, scenes with extremely high requirements for imaging quality and temperature measurement accuracy will use cooled thermal imaging night vision devices, with a price of more than 300,000 yuan, such as cooled thermal imagers used for defect detection in the semiconductor chip manufacturing process, which may cost about 800,000 yuan.

Military grade

Uncooled type: Uncooled thermal imaging night vision devices are used in military operations for individual combat, reconnaissance, etc., with a price of about 30,000-200,000 yuan, such as the infrared fusion thermal imaging night vision device head-mounted uncooled vanadium oxide detector priced at 199,999 yuan.

Refrigerated type: Refrigerated thermal imaging night vision devices are mainly used in the military for high-precision reconnaissance, weapon guidance, etc., and their prices are usually over one million yuan. For example, some advanced airborne or shipborne refrigerated thermal imaging reconnaissance systems can cost up to several million yuan.
