Night vision devices refer to optoelectronic devices which source, detect and amplify light such as infrared, ultraviolet, gamma and X-rays to provide a clear image in dark surroundings. The image is usually produced in shades of green as it presents an accurate and user-friendly picture to the wearer. These devices are used for navigation, surveillance and targeting. In addition, law enforcement and security agencies use both thermal-imaging and image-enhancement technology for surveillance. Hunters and nature enthusiasts use night vision devices to manoeuvre through the woods at night. For civilian purpose, night vision devices are used in security cameras around residential spaces, camping site, and in search and rescue missions. According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Night Vision Devices Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global Night Vision Devices market reached a value of US$ 7.4 Billion in 2018.
