Difference with night vision devices The advantage over night vision equipment is that with thermal imaging equipment you can easily see whether something (or someone) is in the woods. it also gives you the opportunity, for example, to see heat traces. think of a recently driven car or a handprint on a certain object. no light is needed at all to have a clear image with a thermal imaging camera. Instalert function How you want warm objects to be displayed is entirely up to you! Choose from three different colour palettes (see specifications). the scout iii 320 is equipped with the so-called "instalert" technology. at the touch of a button, the warmest object is then displayed in red. this makes it very easy to follow the desired target.
