1. Military field

Night patrol and reconnaissance: When soldiers patrol the border at night or patrol around military bases, low-light night vision devices can help them detect potential threats, such as enemy scouts or suspicious personnel. In reconnaissance missions, they can be used to observe the deployment of enemy positions, the mobilization of equipment, etc., without exposing their own positions. For example, when patrolling the border in mountainous areas, use low-light night vision devices to observe whether there are people illegally crossing the border on the opposite hillside.

Special operations: When special forces perform tasks such as night raids and hostage rescue, low-light night vision devices are essential equipment. It allows team members to clearly see the internal structure of the building, the location and actions of the enemy in a low-light environment, making it easier for them to formulate combat plans and act accurately. For example, in anti-terrorism operations in urban environments, team members use low-light night vision devices to shuttle through dark buildings, identify enemies and launch attacks.

Commonly used night vision devices: four-eye night vision device GPNVG-18, binocular night vision device PVS-31.

2. Law enforcement and security field

Night monitoring and patrol: When patrolling at night, the police can use low-light night vision devices to observe the situation in streets, alleys, parks and other areas, and promptly detect signs of criminal activities such as theft and robbery. For security monitoring systems, low-light night vision monitoring equipment installed in some dark areas can play a role at night and enhance the monitoring range and effect. For example, in areas such as port terminals, low-light night vision monitoring equipment can be used to observe whether there are illegal smuggling and other activities.

Crime scene investigation and search: At the crime scene, especially in dimly lit indoor or outdoor environments, investigators can use low-light night vision devices to find evidence and clues, such as bloodstains and leftover items. When chasing criminal suspects, low-light night vision devices can help the police track the suspect's escape route in a night environment and increase the probability of successful capture.

Commonly used night vision devices: binocular night vision device PVS-31, binocular night vision device PVS-7.

3. Outdoor adventure and nature observation field

Night hiking and camping: When outdoor enthusiasts hike or camp at night, low-light night vision devices can help them observe the surrounding environment, such as finding paths, identifying terrain, and discovering potentially dangerous animals. For example, when camping in the forest, use low-light night vision devices to observe whether there are wild animals such as wolves and wild boars approaching the camp.

Wildlife observation: When nature enthusiasts observe the activities of wild animals at night, low-light night vision devices are a good tool. It can allow observers to see the behavior and habits of wild animals under moonlight or starlight without causing too much interference to the animals. For example, observe the habitat of birds at night and the foraging activities of nocturnal mammals.

Commonly used night vision devices: binocular night vision device PVS-31, binocular night vision device PVS-7, monocular night vision device PVS-14.

4. Navigation and water operations

Nighttime ship navigation and safety monitoring: When a ship is sailing at night, the crew can use low-light night vision devices to observe the sea surface and promptly detect other ships, floating objects or potential dangers, such as icebergs and shoals, to ensure navigation safety. At the same time, in ports, docks and other areas, low-light night vision devices can also be used to monitor activities on the water surface to prevent illegal intrusion or water crimes.

Fishing operations: When fishermen are fishing at night, low-light night vision devices can help them observe the situation of fishing nets, find the location of fish schools, etc., and improve fishery production efficiency. For example, through low-light night vision devices, the direction of the underwater fish school swimming can be seen, so as to reasonably adjust the position of the fishing net.

Common night vision devices: binocular night vision device PVS-31, binocular night vision device PVS-7.
