DDoptics Nighthawk VOX-FX PRO Thermal Imaging Camera
User Guide
Short Description
The Nachtfalke VOX-FX PRO by DDoptics sets new standards in the range of the
compact handheld thermal imaging cameras!
Nachtfalke VOX-FX PRO 17µm Pitch Thermal Imaging Camera not only offers images
rich in detail but also convinces through its high performance – detection of
thermal sources is possible on up to 1,250m. The VOX-FX PRO is well equipped
for field stalk hunts.
Thanks to the effective VOx detector with 17µm pitch the device is also
especially suited for an after-search. Manual focussing of the 35mm objective
diameter allows for an optimal adjustment to any area.

Additional Information
Nachtfalke VOX-FX PRO 17µm Pitch Thermal Imaging Camera
Not only offers images rich in detail but also convinces through its high
performance – detection of thermal sources is possible on up to 1,250m. The
VOX-FX PRO is well equipped for field stalk hunts. Thanks to the effective VOx
detector with 17µm pitch the device is also especially suited for an after-
search. Manual focussing of the 35mm objective diameter allows for an optimal
adjustment to any area.
Find fawns before your mower does
Thanks to the WiFi technology used for the VOX-FX PRO, this device can also be
used in combination with a drone to save wild game. Fawns can be found quickly
and efficiently from the air with the thermal imaging camera. This can prevent
the suffering of fawns which die every year because of mowing machines.
Advantages of thermal imaging detectors with VOx (Vanadium Oxid)
With the efficient Vox sensor, the VOX-FX PRO has a better thermal conduction
coefficient than the IR50 which has with ASi sensors (amorphous silicium), and
as such can transfer photons faster. That way it has clearly superior
performance compared to conventional detectors.
How do we define efficiency?
– Efficiency is determined by the temperature sensitivity of the detector and thus by the carrier material. The indicator is the NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference). The evaluation of the noise is defined by the radiation necessary to generate an outgoing signal which is identical to the detector base noise or simply put: it defines the minimally measurable temperature difference.
Does this make a difference, even if the resolution of the sensor stays the same?
– Let’s compare this with the sensor of a digital camera; two cameras have two different sensors with the same amount of megapixels. Despite this the information quality of the sensors can be completely different. A good camera can produce a great image under the defined resolution and the less efficient camera produces a worse image with the same resolution. A higher temperature sensitivity of the detector signifies more information in the same space and a sharper image richer in details and contrasts for the user.
The range and acurracy during zooming are also clearly improved.
If we compare an ASi with a VOx optics having identical lenses (f-number) and
resolution, the VOx optics has a three times higher temperature sensitivity.
(VOx =
0.039 kelvin compared to 0.1 kelvin = ASi, at 25C° and f=1).
Other advantages of VOx sensors:
– no burn-in e.g. under direct sunlight
– less error pixels
– low noise, and thus better image quality
– generally higher temperature sensitivity
– lower power consumption
– shorter “pixel targeting”.
This is why all US weapons programmes use VOx detectors.
Excellent technical qualities
The VOX-FX PRO thermal imaging device works with a 50Hz image frequency and
thus provides absolutely shake-free images. Heat sources can be displayed in
four different modes (heat black, white, red or in full colour). The VOX-FX
PRO has a 2.5x optical magnification and two digital zoom steps (2x and 4x).
Live images can be transmitted to a mobile end device (tablet or smartphone
with iOS or Android) via WiFi or stored in internal memory (images and
videos).
The internal memory is 8GB, which is large enough for 10,000 images or four
hours of video. Power is supplied by an integrated lithium-ion battery which
allows for continuous use of four hours. It can also be powered by external
power supply via USB.
A short press of the ON/OFF button activates the standby mode. The device is
immediately ready to use. The stand-by function prolongs the running time of
the device. The Nachtfalke VOX-FX PRO is certified under IP66 and protected
against dust and water.
DDoptics “TIS” smartphone app for image transmission
The DDoptics “Thermal Imaging System” app (TIS) allows for a live transmission
of image and video signals directly to mobile devices (Android/iOS). There,
sequences and images can be recorded appropriately.
The app for Apple devices can be downloaded from the App Store
The app for Android devices can be downloaded from the Google Play Store
Attention: On some devices there can be a slight delay during the
transmission.
Thermal imaging to detect unauthorised persons
The VOX-FX PRO is also a useful tool for building and terrain surveillance and
for police observations. With the VOX-FX PRO it can be determined quickly if
there are
unauthorised persons in an area. Hiding behind the vegetation is almost
impossible.

Conditions for Delivery Outside the EU
DDoptics thermal imaging devices are freely deliverable inside the European
Union according to the legal EU Dual-Use-regulation. Delivery outside the EU
is only possible
with a written authorisation of the Federal Office for Export Control (BAFA).
Thus orders from outside the EU can’t be processed immediately.
