Night Vision Devices

Night vision devices (ÖVS/NVD/NVG)

Those “green shots” we see in movies and on TV come from a night vision device (NVG) or other devices that use the same technology. NVGs take in small amounts of visible light, greatly amplify it, and display it back to the user. Cameras made with NVG technology actually have the same limitations as the naked eye: if there isn’t enough visible light, you can’t see well with them (but you can use the Infrared light picked up by the NVD)
