(Image credit: Nightfox) The best night vision goggles can open up a whole new nocturnal world. Many can also capture images and videos, giving you the opportunity to record your night-time explorations and adventures. But night vision goggles are not the only option for seeing in the dark. Actually, there are really three types of devices you can use for night-time viewing. They all do much the same thing but vary in their physical design. 1. Night vision goggles are wearable, hands-free devices that use image enhancement and light amplification to see in the dark. 2. Night-vision binoculars are a combination of analog and digital viewing, with an optical lens and a digital LCD that allows you to see what the night-vision technology sees. 3. Night-vision monoculars are a lighter alternative to night vision binoculars. Security and surveillance are just one aspect of this kind of technology. Night vision goggles are also perfect for wildlife watching, especially species that are primarily nocturnal. If wildlife is your thing, we also have a guide to the best trail cameras (opens in new tab).

Nyte Vu NV60 night vision gogglesPowerful night vision goggles, though not available everywhere SpecificationsMagnification: 1x Objective lens size: - Angle of view: 22 degrees Eye relief: - Weight: 12 oz / 340 g Dimensions: 6.25 x 3.25 x 2.5" (16 x 8 x 6 cm) Reasons to buy+ Can be worn whilst walking +Flip-up optics +Video output Reasons to avoid- No magnification -Hard to get in UK -Quite expensive This video-based set of night vision goggles uses a CCD sensor to capture the field of view and output the video feed to an LCD screen in the eyewear. The screen is decidedly low-resolution with an 800 x 225-pixel array, and what you see is monochrome rather than a color image, but there is an output socket so that the video can be captured using a suitable external video recorder. The system promises to let you see up to 200 feet in total darkness and up to 1000 feet in moonlight, and it's powered by a 12V rechargeable battery. The Nyte Vu NV60 night vision goggles are still available in the US but can be trickier to get hold of in other territories like the UK and Europe. If you're interested, it can be worth keeping an eye on eBay and other reselling sites. (Image credit: Nightfox) (opens in new tab) 5. Nightfox Swift Night Vision GogglesA great introduction to night vision goggles SpecificationsMagnification: 1x Objective lens size: - Angle of view: 10 degrees Eye relief: - Weight: 0.74lb / 335g Dimensions: 5.51 x 6.3 x 2.6” / 140x165x66mm Reasons to buy+ Hands-free solution +‘Moves’ when you do Reasons to avoid- Uncomfortable for prolonged use This pair of night vision goggles are designed to be used with the supplied head mount, and they do not provide any additional magnification – they are simply for seeing in the dark. This does mean it is possible to walk with them without difficulty. They use their own 840nm infrared LEDs as an illumination source and a built-in digital camera to create the image, giving a quoted maximum range of 70m (76 yards). The Nightfox uses a rechargeable battery giving you between 90 minutes and three hours of operation, depending on which of the seven LED brightness settings you opt for. The resolution from the 320x240-pixel screen is not especially high and the 10° angle of view is a touch narrow, but for the price, these goggles provide a great entry to those who want to observe wildlife after dark or other special ops assignments.

The Rexing B1 can be mounted onto a tripod via a standard screw thread, which is handy if you want to set the binoculars recording and move away so that your presence doesn't alarm shy subjects. Thanks to the IP56 water resistance, the binoculars will be just fine even if it starts to rain. (Image credit: Bushnell)(opens in new tab) 7.
