AGM Global Vision Thermal Devices: Technologies and Features

AGM Global Vision Thermal Imaging devices combine the renowned science of infrared technology with cutting-edge optical capabilities and tools, such as:

  • Digital video recording and photography
  • Advanced lens materials and construction
  • Smart device integration

Specialized thermal imaging cameras are developed using FPAs, or focal plane arrays, that respond to longer wavelengths (mid-wavelength and long-wavelength infrared). Common types include QWIP FPA, InSb, InGaAs, and HgCdTe. Our devices use infrared radiation and ambient light (as opposed to visible light) to produce a clear image that’s visible even in near to total darkness. According to the laws of black body radiation, all objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit infrared radiation. Thermography, or thermal photography, is possible due to the fact that the amount of radiation emitted by an object increases or decreases with changes in temperature.

AGM Global Vision always strives to use the latest available thermal imaging technologies, such as low-cost, uncooled microbolometers that act as FPA sensors, to create tactical tools that are consistently durable, practical, and economical.

AGM Thermal Device Product Offerings

AGM offers a wide range of tried-and-tested, Military-grade thermal devices, including:

  • Riflescopes for a variety of weapons
  • Hand-held monoculars for short, middle and long range observation
  • Binoculars which provide long-range observation
  • Easy-to-use clip-on systems

What is thermal vision?

If your choice fell on thermal imaging monocular, you will receive a small, convenient device, unlike the entire night-vision line thermal imagers are capable of working without light, and even during the day. The essence of the technology lies in the registration of thermal signatures of objects. Each object has a temperature, and those objects whose temperature exceeds absolute zero are displayed by the device and provide the operator with a contrasting picture in which visualization occurs due to different shades of colors. At the same time, the quality of observation by thermal imaging devices does not depend on lighting, the time of day, the object’s camouflage, or weather conditions.

What is thermal vision monocular?

In a nutshell, monocular – optical tube. Differentiates from large and serious devices, mainly only in size. Monoculars are good for their modest size while maintaining all the key advantages and capabilities of larger devices. The miniature device fits easily into a jacket pocket or a backpack. If you need to conduct surveillance in low light conditions, a thermal infrared monocular will make it comfortable and informative.

Based on a single optical tube in its design, the monocular has certain limitations. This is not a telescope that is designed for long-range observation, not binoculars, which are designed for both eyes and provide a stronger immersion in the observation area. Thermal vision goggles and thermal imaging binoculars provide the ability to provide depth to the landscape to be observed and comfort to both eyes. If you do not need to observe the same place for a long time and carefully, but you need to assess the situation, using one eye will not be a problem.

With this in mind, if you need a reliable, unpretentious, and ergonomic device, select the optimal performance for your goals, and purchase reliable equipment that will replace your eyes at night. AGM Global has something to offer for different budgets with consistent reliability. Our thermal monocular devices use the latest infrared imaging technology to detect even the most subtle temperature differences of natural and artificial objects, allowing you to see in near-total darkness and tough weather conditions.

The sphere of thermal vision application.

It is worth clarifying where you can benefit from the advantages of such a pocket-sized thermal camera. The answer is straightforward, you can use them everywhere.

The technology itself is so amazing that it quickly became a demand in many industries. Today, many thermal vision manufacturers offer to sell monoculars for a wide variety of needs: from military and hunting thermal imagining systems to infrared thermal cameras for medicine and construction.

The boundaries of device usage are constantly expanding. For example, with the onset of a pandemic, when the issue of rapid monitoring of body temperature became extremely relevant, devices began to be used even more often. They help to assess the condition of heating and water supply systems during repair work. Diagnostic measures have also become more comfortable for doctors and patients, thanks to the achievements of engineers and scientists.

In the military sphere, which became the cradle of both advanced technologies: night and thermal vision, the role of devices is also huge. Soldiers must see their enemy, regardless of weather conditions and time of day, and do not forget about hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. Technology became a ticket to a new world for these people that allowed them to see much more than usual.

AGM Global Vision Binoculars: Technologies and Features

AGM Global Vision thermal binoculars use cutting-edge infrared imaging technology to pick up temperature differences and changes that occur with both natural and man-made objects and use that data to generate an image. This enables visibility in near to total darkness, across rough terrain, and through challenging or changing weather conditions. Our thermal binoculars also offer:

  • Digital photography and video recording capabilities
  • Professional-grade lens materials and ergonomic design
  • Integration with iOS and Android smart devices

AGMs thermal binoculars utilize the scientific principles of black body radiation (any object with a temperature above absolute zero must emit infrared radiation). Thermal photography, or thermography, works by detecting the level of radiation that an object emits, which will change in response to any increases or drops in that object’s temperature, even if those variations are very subtle.

AGM Global Vision is dedicated to using the latest available technologies to develop top-tier thermal binoculars. These technologies allow you to customize your device dashboard, choose from several color pallets options, and either manually or automatically reduce pixelation. All of their binoculars are made of high-grade aircraft aluminum alloy, making the them both lightweight and highly durable.

Main Thermal Binoculars characteristics

Thermal Binoculars manufacturers today offer a vast selection of models in various price ranges. Users know that the content of distances a binocular can be used depends on the diameter of the objective lens and its viewing angle. As the focal length increases, the infrared detection and identification range increases. Additional functionality is of no minor importance. The most popular features for hunters and shooters are the rangefinder, built-in video recording, the ability to change the palette displayed, and of course, the ability to connect wirelessly to a smartphone. When choosing thermal binoculars, you need to determine the purpose of purchasing the device. The modern type of binoculars with a thermal imaging camera is distinguished because they have many advantages and features. The binoculars themselves can provide excellent visibility of objects at long distances, but the picture can reach up to 2000 meters, even at night.

Benefits of Thermal Binoculars

Thermal binoculars are unique because they can hunt even at night. Such devices help hunters track and observe animals and birds more easily. They are often used by the military and by professionals during special operations. Using a thermal imaging device during the day is not ruled out. They are very good at what they do, and they are beneficial to every user. Binoculars with a thermal imaging camera work simply. They quickly detect thermal objects over long distances. Infrared sensors are built into the system to obtain a good image. Thermal imaging cameras can pick up emitted heat. Because all living and natural objects have a different degree of heat emission, contrasting images appear in the picture. Hunters will be able to distinguish all things of interest clearly.

The main advantages of thermal binoculars include:

  • The device is not affected by the degree of illumination around.
  • The obtained image will always be contrast and beautiful;
  • Binoculars of this type will be able to detect objects ideally, even in bright sunlight;
  • At night, in addition, you will not have to illuminate anything, because thermal imaging equipment and so works to the maximum;
  • Egardless of weather conditions and also vegetation around, with such devices can always determine the exact location of each object;
  • With the help of binoculars, it will be possible to identify any animal, and if necessary, to make the essential photo and video shooting.

How to choose the best Thermal Binoculars

When choosing a thermal binocular, you should pay attention to the main characteristics of the device: detection distance, identification distance, viewing angle, objective lens diameter and magnification, module replacement, matrix parameters, matrix frequency.

AGM Global Vision Weapon Sights: Technologies and Features

AGM Global Vision thermal weapon sights use the latest infrared imaging technology to reveal temperature variations and fluctuations that occur in both natural and man-made objects. They use that information to generate an image even in near to total darkness. With multi-coated, Germanium lenses and compact, sturdy housing, our sights are water, dust, and sand-proof for unmatched reliability in uncharted territories, rough terrain, and extreme weather conditions. Our thermal weapon sights also offer:

Our thermal weapon sights are developed using the science of black body radiation, which demonstrates that objects with a temperature above absolute zero must emit infrared radiation. Radiation levels increase or decrease in response to changes or variations in an object’s temperature; thermal photography, or thermography, works by detecting the level of radiation that an object emits and translating it into an image. A thermal weapon sight, otherwise called a thermographic weapon sight or thermal imagery scope, combines a thermographic camera and an aiming reticle in one device that can be mounted on a variety of weapons. AGM Global Vision superior thermal weapon sights are made from high-grade construction materials that are lightweight, weather-resistant, and tough.

Benefits of thermal sights

It is pretty essential to remember the main benefits of thermal sights, which will be helpful to a successful hunt. What exactly are these criteria? We will now consider.

CONTRASTED

So, as you know, there are many thermal devices, their manufacturers, and, accordingly, additional characteristic functions. The first criterion on our list will be contrasted. Usually, the thermal sights and scopes produce more than 15,000 gray gradations. Still, the human eye cannot physically perceive all these shades, so the signal of the thermal vision device decreases, but the maximum level of detail is preserved. Obstacles like thick bushes, tall grass, or snow prevent you from seeing the object of interest. Still, it is essential to remember that the thermal vision device does not recognize thermal radiation behind the walls and behind the glass that does not transmit infrared radiation.

COLOR MODES

The following and a rather important criterion in our list is color modes. They are designed to improve object recognition. The thermal imager provides the best visibility at night and in the year’s cold season. At night, the air cools noticeably, which increases the contrast of warm objects. The temperature difference between heat sources and the air becomes more noticeable, making the thing easier to recognize. In summer, the temperature contrast between objects on the ground can be insignificant, so it is more challenging to determine heat sources. For such cases, it is convenient to use color modes.

If we analyze the technology of thermal vision in detail, we must also mention the superpower of such devices. Unlike night visiondevices, which amplify light, a thermal sight captures thermal signatures and visualizes them. It doesn’t need light. Weather conditions do not matter either. But, it is worth remembering that even such a fantastic thing becomes useless in situations where heat signatures cannot be registered. For example, when objects are behind glass.

Of course, the scopes of this formation have excellent performance and will be helpful in every hunter. Nevertheless, not always these devices can solve your problems. Therefore, it would not be harmful to have one device of each technology in your arsenal.

AGM Global Vision Thermal Clip-On Systems: Technologies and Features

AGM thermal clip-on systems are developed using the most current infrared imaging technology available, giving them the ability to reveal temperature differences of natural and man-made objects, even when variations are slight. AGM clip-on systems easily mount in front of any existing day scope that’s already attached to your weapon, with no rezeroing required. AGM thermal clip-ons also feature:

  • Automatic or Manual (silent) Calibration
  • Innovative lens materials and compact, durable construction for enhanced reliability

Benefits of Thermal Clip-on scopes

Modern thermal imaging devices are miniature computers, which is not an exaggeration. The ability to see in the dark and bad weather isn’t the only feature you can get from the device. Be sure to check the presence of the rangefinder function in the device. This feature will be handy for hunting thermal vision, which can simplify the calculation of the distance to the target. Also, some high-quality thermal devices have several modes. Depending on the environment, they can be used (for example, there are many heat sources, or the thermal environment is more homogeneous).

                         Low weight                                Rangefinder function                              Incredible device strength

Nothing prevents you from using the Thermal Clip-on scope like a regular monocular. It is still a reliable single-tube device. Therefore, it is lightweight and takes up little space. Of course, as with any such device, depth and range suffer a little, but this is inevitable for devices that use one eye.

And, at the same time, its primary function is to create an effective symbiosis with a conventional sight, allowing you to hunt and conduct observations even with minimal visibility.

There are still many manufacturers of thermal imaging devices, but you need to choose the one that best suits your requirements.
