Introduction to Night Vision Devices

$65.00

More and more people are becoming interested in purchasing Night Vision Devices, but short of watching an unknown on YouTube, there are not many ways to learn firsthand about them to make an educated decision.  This three-hour seminar is designed just for that reason.  Not only will we break down all the information you need to know about NVDs, plus some, but we will have multiple examples for you to examine and try out. 

We will start with a brief history lesson on Night Vision, and how they work.  We then move on to characteristics of the different devises.  We will discuss which type of device would make the most sense for you.  Techniques and modes of operation will be presented to the class.  There will also be a selection of different types of lasers and infra-red illuminators.   Students will then be able to try different NVDs to see what would work best for them. 

There is information in this seminar for not only those interested in making their first purchase, but there will be wealth of knowledge for everyone.
