## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10609:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10609:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The FNIRSI NVS-20 is a compact, high-definition digital night vision monocular designed to provide clear visibility in complete darkness and low-light environments. Equipped with a 25mm objective lens and an 850nm infrared illuminator, this device allows users to digitally capture 4K video and 36MP still images, making it an excellent tool for nocturnal observation, security, and wildlife monitoring.

Traditional optical night vision relies heavily on ambient light amplification, rendering it largely ineffective in pitch-black conditions. The NVS-20 solves this limitation by utilising active infrared illumination, granting you the ability to see up to 300 metres in total darkness without giving away your position. Whether you are tracking nocturnal wildlife, conducting nighttime property inspections, or simply navigating off-grid, this active IR system ensures you are never left in the dark.

Engineered for rugged outdoor use, the NVS-20 features an IPX6 water resistance rating and a robust handheld form factor weighing just 240 grams. It is powered by a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery and recharges via a modern 5V/1A USB Type-C port, allowing makers and explorers to easily keep it powered using standard power banks during extended field operations. It also includes a standard tripod mounting point for stable, high-magnification viewing.

### Key Features

- **Observe targets up to 300 metres away in complete darkness** thanks to the powerful, adjustable 850nm infrared illuminator.
- **Capture exceptional detail for documentation or sharing** with native 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording and 36MP high-resolution photography capabilities.
- **Inspect distant subjects clearly without losing image quality** by utilising the 6x electronic zoom on the high-definition 1.54-inch IPS colour display.
- **Keep your gear running in the field indefinitely** by recharging the internal 18650 battery via any standard USB Type-C mobile power bank.
- **Enjoy the peace of mind of using official OEM hardware**, complete with a 32GB TF memory card right out of the box so you can start recording immediately.
