Recording Images With Night Vision

Hi. I am interested in a night vision unit capable of recording images. Is there such a thing?

Short answer. No. But there are ways to record images. The traditional way is to connect a movie camera or SLR to your first to fourth generation night vision unit using C rings or T rings. Some parts of these can be ordered from our website, the rest must be had from a camera store. So many sizes of threads and cameras and adapters make this a daunting project, and most modern digital point and shoot cameras do not have removeable lenses or threads to allow this option. The best way to record images is with one of the newer digital night vision units like this Bushnell: http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-night-vision-5x42-stealth-view-260542.html . It has RCA plugs that let you wire directly to your camcorder or TV/VCR for immediate copying.
