1.5 Infrared Thermal Vision
versus Image Intensified
Night Vision
Thermal cameras make images from heat, not
light, a feat impossible for the naked eye or
image intensified (I

) night vision devices. This
allows you to see clearly without any visible
light. People, animals, and objects all generate or
reflect heat and are clearly seen by the thermal
camera in even the most adverse conditions.
Scion enables the user to:
• See people or objects in difficult terrain,
reduced visibility, or total darkness
• See through smoke, dust, and light fog
• See more and further than low light
night vision
