    You can easily find cheap night vision online but this scope is definitely quality made. Love that it’s made in the US. Bought the IC version and really enjoying it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes the iGen Monocular different from traditional night vision devices?

    The iGen series uses digital night vision technology, which eliminates the need for fragile vacuum tubes. This allows for bright-light compatibility, higher image quality, and no risk of damage from bright light exposure, unlike traditional tube-based systems.

    Can I use the iGen Monocular during the day?

    Yes, the iGen monocular is daylight-compatible when the lens cap is on. The pinhole in the lens cap simulates low-light conditions, allowing you to use it without damaging the device.

    Does the iGen-IC and iGen-LE capture photos at night?

    Yes, the iGen-IC and iGen-LE models come with still image capture capability. Photos are saved in .jpg format onto a memory card for easy viewing and transfer.

    Can the infrared (IR) emitter be seen by animals or people?

    While the infrared beam itself is invisible, the IR emitter diode produces a faint red glow that can be seen from close distances. If complete concealment is needed, avoid using the IR emitter.

    How far can I see with the iGen Monocular?
    The viewing distance depends on ambient light and the IR emitter setting. With the infrared emitter at maximum, you can see targets up to several hundred feet in total darkness.
    What is the battery life, and how can I extend it?

    The iGen runs on 4 AA batteries. Battery life is up to 7.6 hours in standard mode and approximately 2.8 hours with the IR emitter at maximum. To extend battery life:

    • Reduce display brightness.
    • Use the auto-off feature to shut the device down after inactivity.
    Is the iGen Monocular weatherproof?

    No, the iGen monocular is not weatherproof. It is recommended to use it in dry conditions and protect it from rain or excessive moisture.

    Can I mount the iGen Monocular on a tripod?

    Yes, all iGen models include a tripod mount for steady viewing. The iGen-LE comes with a tripod and window mount included.

    Can the iGen Monocular record videos?

    No, the iGen monoculars do not record video. However, they offer composite video output, allowing you to connect the device to an external recorder or monitor for real-time viewing.
