How far can a person see when using night vision?
The distance someone can see, or the range at which an object can be detected, varies depending upon: (1) the generation of technology the person is using; (2) the size of the object(s) in the viewing area; and (3) the level of darkness / light conditions (i.e., full moon, starlight, cloudy/overcast). All these factors play a role in determining how far you can see using night vision. Most night vision products are “1X” – unless they’re equipped with special magnification lenses – so distance is viewed in “real time.
