DIY Digital Night Vision Scope for Rifle Hunting with HD Camera and 5-inch Portable Display Screen

I have a small chicken coup and had trouble with rats at night. The cost of night vision put me off but thought I'd give this a go as some reviews seemed good, although some bad mixed in. I have to say I'm very impressed. I had some 18650 batteries anyway so was ready to go. Instructions aren't great so I had to work it out myself but it's not too hard. Camera housing fitted to the eye piece of the scope, attach display and torch and away you go. The image was blurred and whatever I did I couldn't get into focus, then realised the camera lens rotates to focus on the eyepiece image, hey presto all good. The switch at the back of the camera switches between day and night mode. The torch is infrared so don't expect to see anything with it, but the LED dies give s faint red glow when on so you can see if it's on or not. I used at around 15 metres and image was really good (it will only be as good as your scope of course). Let's just say I don't have a rat problem anymore, so this item has done what it's made for so I can't help but give it 5 stars for use and value for money. Some say theirs broke after a while or didn't work out of the box so we'll see how it goes, but so far so good.

As with some of the other reviewers I took the risk of trying this to help with a rat problem on the smallholding. Although some of the previous reviews are reasonably good, so far I have been really disappointed - especially with the night mode. The operating instructions are awful - virtually non existent but the biggest frustration is that it gives a reasonable view when first turned on but after a few minutes (usually after the first reload) it gets a white haze and you can hardly see a thing. Have changed the batteries 3 times already and only used it for a few minutes each time. Either I am doing something wrong or it really is hopeless……..

Bit awkward sighting on target

Amazing bit of kit

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, just to heavy and doesn't do what it says it does, really bad buy

This is an utter bargain! Fitted to my Red Wolf whilst saving for a Pard NV007 and to be honest, other than the slight inconvenience of removing the monitor and IR lamp to put it away, I’ll probably not bother with the Pard. Day and night is selected by a small switch on the rear of the camera and the camera and monitor are switched on together with a small switch placed on the battery compartment found behind the monitor. My only criticism is the battery compartment that is in all honesty a little flimsy. Setting up was easy onto my Optisan EVX and everything fits good and tight. It illuminates up to 50 yards and beyond. Only slight issue was tracking down a pack of batteries as they are not a familiar size at 3.7 volts each and you need 3, however, the kit also comes with a charger. Full charge from flat took about 3 hours. Yes, there are better NV systems but they are nowhere near this price. Totally recommend...

This fits on 3 of my scopes. I would advise a piece of innertube stretched over eyepiece if you can. Fits snug, easy to set up and works with illuminated reticles also it just turns white crosshairs on screen. The distance in the video is 80yds approx with the torch that is supplied. It will work well with any lamping scenario on rimfires. I used a more poweful ir torch and lit up to 200yds. The batteries are a snug fit and like other people bought spares with a torch & charger etc...but don't use torch. It takes getting used to looking at screen and is wierd looking into darkness and then seeing creatures on screen. The brightness in the field is a slight issue but otherwise can't go wrong.

After 3 months the switch stopped working
