📷 SiOnyx Aurora Sport I Full Color Digital Night Vision Camera | Infrared Monocular with Ultra Low-Light IR Sensor, IP67 Water Resistance, WiFi, and Time Lapse Capabilities Review

This is a decent low light camera. The sensitivity is primarily achieved through larger pixels and the omission of the IR filter, which means that the spectral sensitivity of modern sensors in the IR range is fully utilized. Here are the cons: The resolution is very low, and on a moonless night it's really problematic. It definitely doesn't compare to the 3rd generation night vision scope as seen in the video on the manufacturer's website. This is very misleading. This camera/tech is probably…

Disappointed. Big beautiful promotional photos are somewhat deceptive about this scope/camera. They advertise the 1-inch square sensor heavily, but that's the internal electronics. The actual viewfinder used by the consumer is about half the size of a small postage stamp. SMALL! In addition, there is a rather low lens distortion and color rendering in twilight and night mode. Very limited utility. In fact, this isn't a Gen 2 or even Gen 1 night vision goggle. It doesn't work at all at night in…

This thing is AWESOME! I paid full price, genuine review. I've been into night vision goggles for a while and most of them have such a narrow field of view that they're useless for backyard viewing - like looking through a telescope. Then if you use an IR emitter through a window it will bounce back and not work at all. Basically it is an ultra low light camera. It has day mode, twilight mode and night mode. In total darkness you will need an IR illuminator which I ordered for $8. Just got it…

Great! I got the Aurora on pre-order. I use Etsy's adaptive kilohm helmet mount and it works great, I can go hands-free and there is no lag in the viewfinder! However, be sure to follow the setup tips to avoid lagging. From Kiloohm Etsy page: Tips for setting up a SiOnyx camera for helmet use As of September 14, 2019, firmware subject to change: 1-Use video mode, disable EIS, FPS to 60, 720p, HDR on. 2. Press and hold the "SET" button to access the menu. Go to EVF Timeout and set it to Never…

I work in law enforcement and use it regularly. It works out? Yes! Low light problems are PERFECT. In complete darkness, this is unfortunately somewhat lacking, AND the WLAN function are the reasons for 4 out of 5 stars. I bought this camera because I wanted to monitor in an "artificial" dark zone - that is, residents turned off the streetlights - so they wouldn't know I was watching them. The other camera I had had noticeable IR illumination that isn't there. However, without SOME artificial…
