The Night Vision Devices BNVD-SG UL has a "Tactical Monocular Cutoff" that turns off power to each channel of the monocular whenever a channel is rotated up out of the user's line of sight. This eliminates stray light flashing the user's helmet, which could reveal the user to anyone else in the area.
The BNVD-SG UL is available with an optional battery pack, which holds 3 "AA" Alkaline batteries for runtimes exceeding 50 hours. Like all other NVD products, the BNVD-SG UL also features the company's 10-year warranty.

Sirchie's LowCam VI110 UVIS is a lightweight, portable solution for under-vehicle inspection. Its undercarriage imaging combines the benefits of multi-camera view images and real-time video playback. The system also features embedded front and rear license plate recognition and is available with Foreign object Detection (FoD), like largest and more expensive UVIS systems.
The VI110 is ideal for high-security installations with frequent repeat traffic. Armed with LPR and database integration, it identifies a returning vehicle, accesses its most-recent inspection, presents a side-by-side comparison view, and silently alerts personnel to a potential threat—all in real time and from a safe standoff position.                         www.sirchie.com

Tactical Electronics • Core Pole Camera

The Core Pole Camera is part of Tactical Electronics' Core product line for tactical inspections.

This telescoping HD pole camera combines extreme lowlight sensitivity with thermal fusion technology to provide enhanced detail and definition. The camera is attached to a telescoping Pole Grip, available in both 10-foot and 17-foot lengths. Poles are constructed of high-density graphite, feature locking extensions, and collapse to under 4 feet for easy deployment and stowing.
An omni-directional microphone gives you the option to record audio and video onto a 32 GB micro SD card. The Core Pole Camera is powered by three CR123 batteries and delivers a runtime of 2.5 hours.                                                                  www.tacticalelectronics.com
