American Technologies Network Corp. (ATN) has built its proprietary "Smart Technology" into it Night Shadow Night Vision binocular line.

ATN's Smart Technology includes a proximity sensor that automatically turns the night vision binocular on when it's brought into a viewing position. No more fumbling for on/off buttons in the dark or creating excessive movement or sound when predator hunting. An added plus to the proximity sensor happens because as the unit turns itself on or off automatically it saves on the battery life and the life of the unit itself. ATN's Smart Technology also includes easy-to-use digital controls and a long-range Infrared Illuminator which allows the viewer to see in total darkness with perfect clarity.
