The second generation of Specter IR scopes, SP50B is one of the best thermal weapon sights available on the market today. Able to detect 0.1° C difference in surface temperature, Specter IR makes it impossible for anyone to hide in the brash, camo or complete darkness. Compared to previous models, the SP50B is enhanced with a greater operating temperature range, improved detector, "smart" reticle, and improved video output parameters. It can be used as a scope and aslo as a thermal camera.
The SpecterIR is a shock and water-resistant sight that will withstand the forces generated by repeated recoil. The quick-detachable mount allows fast attachment to Mil-Std-1913 "Picatinny” rails and weapon receivers. Once sighted-in to a particular weapon, the sight may be interchanged with other optical and electro-optical sights zeroed for the same weapon in a matter of seconds and without noticeable change in point of impact.
A video output port allows the image to be displayed on an external video monitor or recorded by video recorder. When used solely as an observation device, the unit may be operated hand-held or with a tripod. Specter IR can be powered by 3 AA batteries, AC electrical outlet or vehicle cigarette lighter.
