As this topic discusses the relationship between thermal scope and shooting distance, we assume that the effective shooting distance of the gun is far enough. Under this premise, we need to clarify a fundamental principle of shooting with thermal scope first. Let’s take hunting as an example. When you are unsure what animal or whether the target on display is an animal or not, you must never shoot. This is the first point we want to address today: the definition of detecting a hot object is different from only seeing it. Suppose a person tells you how far the recognition or identification range of his thermal scope is without knowing what the target is. In that case, you’d better ask clearly because the target size is the precondition of all the descriptions of the distance related to the thermal scope. The detection range, the recognition range, and the identification range must be confirmed together with the target size to avoid misunderstanding.
Some high-quality thermal devices use germanium glass lenses. They have a high refractive index, allowing the IR range of wavelengths to pass through and reach the sensor that identifies a target. Because of the rarity of the germanium metal, it costs 1500 dollars per kg; and that’s just the cost in its raw form. When you add the price of refining and processing germanium into a high-performance long-range thermal surveillance lens, the total cost of the equipment increases exponentially. Also, it depends on the aperture (the F-number of the device); the lower the F-number is, the more expensive the lens costs. For example, an F1.0 lens is always costing more and has better performance than an F1.2 lens. Find more info at thermal binoculars manufacturer.
What is the detection range of your product? According to Johnson’s criteria, ‘detect’ means ‘if an object is present or not.’ So, the detection range depends on what specific target you are observing. For thermal imager, with the same size of the lens, the smaller pixel pitch of the thermal detector, the longer distance you could detect. Taking a human-size target as an example, the detection range of our 12-micron and 75mm lens model could reach as far as around 3600m. Likewise, ‘recognition’ is defined as ‘being able to see what type of object it is.’ It means being able to make the distinction between a person, a car, a truck, or any other object. With our 12-micron and 75mm lens model, the recognition range could reach as far as around 1200m. For the detection range of all models, please refer to our specification sheet for more details.
