Enter the zero menu through the carousel menu. Aim and Shoot: You take a shot at your target while aiming precisely where you want to hit. Reticle Adjustment: After shooting, use the scope's controls to move the red reticle to the exact spot where your bullet hit on the target. Be sure not to move your rifle and maintain the white reticle fixed on where you were aiming. Confirm Zero: The scope remembers the adjustments you made, essentially zeroing itself based on where your shot landed. Confirm your zero by firing another shot or two to ensure your point of aim matches the point of impact.

Using the objective and ocular lenses in an ATN digital scope is quite similar to using traditional scopes: Objective Lens: The objective lens on an ATN digital scope gathers light and helps focus the image. You adjust it to get a clear picture of your target. Ocular Lens: This is the lens you look through. This lens let you sharpen the information displayed on your screen. Both lenses work together to give you a clear and precise view through the scope. Properly adjusting them ensures you get a sharp and accurate sight picture on your ATN digital scope.

Bolt Action, AR platform, PCP Air Rifles, and Crossbows just to name a few! Our scopes mount to a picatinny rail.

Choosing between high and low QDM (Quick Detach Mount) depends on your preferences and needs. High QDM: Provides more clearance between the scope and the rifle. This might be helpful if you need extra space for accessories or if you prefer a higher scope position. Low QDM: Sits closer to the rifle, making it more compact and potentially offering a more comfortable shooting position, especially for those who prefer a lower scope profile.

Of course! Not only are you able to stream using our app, but also change settings and input important ballistics calculator information through your device.

Absolutely! All of our Smart HD scopes will have the ability to be used in advanced mode or "simple mode"

Having more features in your ATN scope can be super helpful because it offers extra capabilities to enhance your shooting experience! These added features might include things like better night vision, built-in laser rangefinder, video recording, ballistic calculator, and even Wi-Fi connectivity. They can make aiming easier, help you take further shots, and allow you to capture and share your hunting or shooting moments. So, having more features in your scope can make your shooting adventures more efficient, accurate, and fun!

Yes of course! You are able to input distance manually for your ballistics Calculator.

We always recommend if you are using your scopes on multiple weapons to ensure rings are tightened to spec and always ensure you are zeroed before going out.

Sure thing! The profile manager in ATN Smart HD scopes is like your personal assistant for different shooting situations. It lets you save and switch between different settings (like zeroing distances, reticle styles, or ballistic info) for various guns or ammo types you use. So, if you switch between rifles or loads, you can quickly load up the right settings without needing to adjust everything manually each time. It's a handy way to keep your scope set up perfectly for each shooting scenario you encounter.

Setting zero with multiple rifles in ATN Smart HD scopes is pretty convenient! Here's how it works: You can save different zeroing profiles for each rifle you use. When switching rifles, you select the saved profile for that specific rifle from the scope's menu. This way, you can easily switch between rifles without needing to re-zero every time - the scope remembers the settings for each one.

While we do offer mounting solutions on the side of the rings we provide.The best spot to mount the IR (infrared) light on an ATN X-Sight is below the barrel and as far up as you're able to mount. Following this suggestion keeps your image from "white washing" due to the gasses expelled after a shot from the barrel.

The effective range or "throw" they are able to provide.

The Auxiliary Ballistic Laser is an add on to our Gen 4 Smart HD scopes! The attachment seamlessly pairs via bluetooth to your scope and is able to Laser Range Find up to 1500 yards and feed that distance to your scope.

For those users who want to ensure an more accurate shot every time! The ABL feeds distance,an important factor in shooting right into your ballistics calculator for real time reticle adjustments!

Digital optics use digital zoom to magnify your image seen on screen. In all digital optics as you magnify there are less and less pixels to display your target.

Detachable scope mounts offer the ability to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately or using your optics on multiple rifles or platforms.

Only one device is able to pair for streaming to your scope at a time.

If you plan to take an ATN scope outside the US or buy one from abroad, there might be rules and restrictions you need to follow to comply with ITAR regulations. It's best to check with ATN or legal experts to understand these rules before taking your scope abroad.

Digital optics and traditional glass are different in how they process and manipulate light. Digital optics use electronic components to control and manipulate light, often in devices like cameras or displays. Traditional glass optics rely on physical lenses and mirrors to bend and focus light, like in telescopes or eyeglasses.

They are rated up to .416 Barrett & 375 HH. Check out the Recoil chart using this link. https://www.atncorp.com/faq hope this helps!

Sure, there are 2 ways you can use the video record feature! In our Smart HD scopes you can enable the Recoil Activated Video (RAV) and let your scope capture video using your weapons recoil. In both our Smart HD scopes and LTV scopes you can also manually start and stop video recording.

Only our Smart HD scopes can take pictures with a dedicated button to capture.

That's important so you don't miss any moments to capture! Use a 4gb - 64gb class 10 or better SDHC type.

Absolutely! The magnification you need for shooting at specific yardages depends on various factors such as the size of your target, environmental conditions, and the type of shooting you're doing (e.g., hunting, target shooting).

A couple things to think about here. The lens size you should pick for a thermal scope depends on what you're planning to do. For better clarity in low light, a larger lens, like a 75mm, might work well. But if you want something more compact and easier to carry, a smaller lens, say around 35 mm, could be a better fit. It's about finding a balance between image quality and how compact you want your scope to be.

30mm Ring Mounts. ATN provides those rings in all our scopes except in the THoR LTV's. We also offer various Quick Disconnect mounting options!

The ballistics calculator is a specialized software in our Smart HD scopes designed to assist shooters, hunters, or marksmen in making precise and accurate long-range shots by calculating various factors that influence the trajectory of a bullet.

For our day and night scopes, we provide a warranty period of 2 years, offering protection against manufacturing defects and ensuring the reliability of your equipment.

Our scopes do not use green light; instead, they utilize Infrared (IR) light for nighttime use.

While regular paper targets may not provide the necessary heat variation for sighting in a Thermal scope, there are specialized targets available that feature heat-reflective materials or built-in heat sources. These targets help create distinct heat signatures that can be easily detected and used for calibration purposes.

Recoil Activated Video is designed to automatically start recording video footage when the rifle's recoil is detected, capturing your shooting experience without the need for manual operation.

Our scopes utilize sophisticated algorithms and sensors to calculate windage adjustments based on environmental conditions and ballistic data. This feature helps compensate for wind drift and other factors that can affect bullet trajectory, allowing you to make accurate shots with confidence.

Our optics are set up for 30mm ring mounts.

The eye relief on our optics measures 90mm ,providing ample distance between your eye and the eyepiece for comfortable viewing and recoil absorption.

No, power is required for the scope to operate.

The price difference is primarily due to the manufacturing process and technology involved. Our day and night scopes utilize digital night vision technology, which is generally easier and more cost-effective to manufacture compared to traditional night vision goggles. Digital night vision relies on digital sensors and processing algorithms to enhance low-light visibility, whereas night vision goggles typically incorporate more complex optical components and image intensifier tubes.

Our night vision goggles are water-resistant but not waterproof. While our night vision goggles are designed to withstand light rain and moisture to a certain extent, they may not be fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

When comparing white and green phosphor, neither option holds a distinct advantage over the other. Both white and green phosphor offer excellent night vision capabilities, with slight differences in color rendition and contrast. The choice between the two ultimately comes down to personal preference and individual visual acuity.

No, thermal imaging technology cannot see through walls. Thermal imaging detects infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visible image based on differences in temperature.

Yes. Thermal devices can detect heat signatures on complete darkness.

When a large area needs to be patrolled or monitored. Thermal imaging detects and provides a distract image when a heat signature is captures from a animal, person, or vehicle.

Of course, Many border patrol agents use thermal devices for their everyday job responsibilities.

From 1x to 7x base magnification options are available here at ATN in our line of award winning hand held thermals!

Depending on the the task at hand. ATN has many options of thermal monoculars to choose from. From compact and easily stowed, to more full sized monoculars and binoculars loaded with features.

There is practically no delay in our thermal imaging monoculars which allows you to see movements and heat signatures in real time.

Unless, they are masking their body temperature no camouflage can deter your bodies natural body heat which a thermal will sense immediately.

Yes, though a thermal will not penetrate through the water, Thermals are great for patrolling coastlines or ports.

Thermals are able to call attention to heat signatures that should or shouldn't be in the area.

Yes we offer binoculars that can be mounted to a helmet or carried.

Of course! ATN offers thermal binoculars with recording and photo capturing capabilities for documentation purposes.

Yes! Thermals can be used for wildlife tracking.

Of course! Thermals thrive in most terrains where surveillance is required.

Thermals thrive in situations where longer distance detection is required.

Yes! Thermals can be used in most weather conditions!

Quicker target identification. A higher thermal sensor provides a more clear image.

An ATN thermal scope picks up heat emitted by objects. It detects the thermal energy (heat) that all objects give off. This allows the scope to create a thermal image based on the differences in temperature between objects, helping you see and distinguish things in the dark or through various weather conditions where normal vision might struggle.

So, detection is just noticing heat, recognition is understanding more about the heat source, and identification is knowing exactly what it is based on its thermal features. Which of the 3 would you like to know more about?

This means you can see that there's some heat present, but you might not be able to tell exactly what it is. It's like spotting a warm object or heat source.

Here, you can make out more details about the heat source. You might recognize it as a person, an animal, or a vehicle based on its shape or size.

This is when you can clearly tell what the heat source is, distinguishing specific features or characteristics. For instance, you could identify a person's face or recognize a specific animal species based on thermal patterns.

The Gen 5 scopes have a smaller and smoother profile for optimal design and comfort. They come with the option for a built in Laser Range Finder. Improved Image processing. The "now" custom Reticle editor. And the best part is the true 1280 thermal sensor in the THoR XD for those who simply must have the best.

The THoR XD is the first to market 1280 sensor thermal scope! It is the most powerful thermal scope on the market! It provides the clearest image in the industry!

Our ATN thermal devices come with an "Auto NUC" function that can be toggled off and the user can manually NUC the device. The NUC function is similar to refreshing your screen to clear up the visuals displayed on your screen.

Yes, the size of the lens in a thermal scope matters for a few reasons. A larger lens typically allows more light to enter the scope, which can improve image quality, especially in low-light conditions.

Having higher magnification with a thermal scope lets you zoom in closer to your target, allowing for more precise aiming at longer distances. This means you can see details more clearly, making it easier to identify and engage targets that are farther away. However, it's important to note that higher magnification might reduce your field of view and could make it harder to track fast-moving targets or objects in motion.

Using color palettes in ATN thermals gives you different ways to see the heat signatures. It's like having various filters to view the world in shades of red, white, black, and more. Each palette highlights heat in different ways, making it easier to spot targets or understand your surroundings, especially in different environments or specific situations. So, these color options give you flexibility and better visibility based on what works best for your needs and preferences.

Similar to how visible light camera lenses are a solid glass shape, thermal camera lenses are solid Germanium. Just as glass is transparent to visible light, Germanium is transparent to the wavelength band of infrared radiation, which most thermal cameras use.

Absolutely! You can use thermal imaging during the daytime. Thermal scopes work by detecting heat, not light, so they're not affected by sunlight or darkness. During the day, they pick up temperature differences, letting you see warm objects, people, or animals even in bright sunlight. Just keep in mind that thermal imaging might show things differently than what you're used to seeing with your eyes or regular optical devices.

During the day, with a thermal imaging device, you'll see a picture based on the heat emitted by objects. It shows different temperatures in varying colors or shades – warm things like people or animals appear brighter, while cooler things appear darker. It's like seeing a heat map of your surroundings rather than a regular visual image.

Microns, in the context of thermal scopes, refer to the wavelength sensitivity of the thermal sensor. It indicates what type of infrared radiation the sensor can detect. Smaller micron values mean the sensor can detect shorter wavelengths and usually provide better image detail and clarity because it can detect smaller temperature differences between objects. So, a smaller micron value generally means better clarity in your thermal scope, showing more precise distinctions between objects with different temperatures.

Think of thermal sensors like you do video quality resolution. A 1080p video is a clearer video compared to a 720p video. Thermal sensors work the same way! A higher sensor will provide a clearer image.

Great question. It's technology that can detect heat signatures to create images, allowing users to see objects or individuals in low-light, no-light, or through various environmental conditions such as fog, smoke, or dust.

Yes, of course. For example, lets say, in front of you are some trees, a wild boar and the ground. All three of those factors have different temperatures. Those temperature variations are what creates your thermal image.The Ground will be one shade, the trees will be another shade, and the wild hog giving off the most heat, it will have the strongest shade.

It's used for many things, like search and rescue, where it helps locate individuals in complete darkness and challenging environments, security and surveillance for users who need to detect intruders or observe suspicious activities in nighttime scenarios, pest control and of course, hunting at night.

You can't go wrong with either! But our THoR LTV is known for being one of the most light weight, easy to use thermals on the market. The THoR LTV has a smaller profile compared to the THoR 4/5 as well as not being as feature rich. Don't get me wrong, the THOR LTV still gets the job done with Video Recording, user friendly controls, white/black hot and color mode color palettes, 3 thermal sensor options, a 10hr battery life, one shot zero, and various magnification options. The THoR LTV is the perfect option for the users who want a straightforward thermal scope without all the extra features ATN is known for.

Thermal cameras detect heat signatures rather than relying on ambient light. This means they can effectively capture images in complete darkness without any external light source.

For certain scenarios, digital scopes may offer better target recognition during daylight hours. The ability to distinguish colors and details can be valuable in various applications, such as hunting or security.

Yes, you can use a thermal scope during the day, but it may not be as effective as using it in low-light or nighttime conditions. Thermal scopes detect infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero. During the day, when there is ample natural light, the contrast between warm and cool objects may be less pronounced, making it challenging for a thermal scope to provide detailed images.

Choosing between a thermal scope and a digital day and night scope depends on your specific requirements and preferences. Both types of scopes have their advantages, and the decision often comes down to the intended use and conditions. Will you be hunting more during the day, night, or both?

Thermal scopes cost more primarily due to the sophisticated technology involved, including infrared sensors and advanced optics. ATN has made thermal solutions affordable for most budets! With handheld scanners starting at $599 and our thermal scopes starting at $999!

The effective range of a thermal scope is typically several hundred yards or more, particularly in low-light and nighttime conditions. Thermal scopes excel at detecting heat signatures, making them effective in complete darkness. On the other hand, digital scopes rely on available light, performing well in daylight and providing clear images at longer distances. However, in low-light conditions, the detection range of digital scopes may be limited compared to thermal scopes. The specific capabilities vary among models, so consider the intended use and environmental conditions when choosing between them.

By providing more detailed and defined thermal signatures! This enhanced detail allows for better target identification, especially in scenarios where subtle temperature differences matter. The sharpness of thermal images is increased, aiding in the recognition of fine features

Refresh rate is a crucial factor in thermal scopes, influencing the smoothness and responsiveness of real-time imaging for better observation and target tracking.

Our Thermal scopes have a 60Hz refresh rate!

Yes, a higher refresh rate contributes to smoother images, particularly when tracking moving targets. A faster refresh rate results in more frequent updates of the thermal image, reducing motion blur and providing a more real-time and responsive view.

Thermal scopes have a big advantage because they work based on heat, not light. This means they're awesome for day and night use since they don't rely on sunlight or darkness. They can detect heat emitted by objects, helping you see things even in total darkness or through fog, smoke, or bushes where regular digital scopes might struggle. Thermal scopes give you a clear view of what's going on around you no matter the lighting conditions, making them super versatile for day and night use.
