Wolf Camera Binoculars

Spy Net: Night Vision Surveillance Goggles Review Best Price

This is really a pretty impressive piece of equipment for the price and target audience. It’s basically what you would get with a night vision camcorder (such as the Discovery Kids model) crammed into a set of cheap plastic binoculars- minus the recording part, of course. Another similar device would be a night-vision-enabled baby video monitor, minus the wireless link.

In any case, what this consists of are two IR (infrared – so invisible to the naked eye) LED flashlights, an IR-sensitive digital camera sensor, and a tiny low-resolution (but full color!) screen.

The screen is “split” via mirrors to create the “binocular” view. The IR CCD picks up the reflected IR light (and visible light, if present), and voila- you can see in the dark.

Some important notes that are not immediately obvious: – The “binocular” vision is not really stereoscopic- it is a single image split and shown to both eyes (as far as I can tell), so don’t expect any depth perception.

Canon USA Renews Sponsorship of Yellowstone National Park and ...

Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce the renewal of the Company's partnership with the Yellowstone National Park and Yellowstone Park Foundation, a sponsorship that provides the funding for innovative scientific research, support and technology for online education, and cutting-edge products essential for the management and protection of the park's wildlife and ecosystems.

"Continuing our partnership with Yellowstone is a symbol of our dedication and commitment to wildlife conservation initiatives and environmental education," said Bunji Yano, senior director and general manager, Corporate Communications Division, Canon U.S.A. "Through the use of our technology, we are able to help educate millions of people about what the park has to offer and increase public awareness about the importance of environmental conservation."

Initiatives of the partnership include the use of Canon products for environmental research and educational purposes throughout Yellowstone. To date, the partnership has given the general public the opportunity to watch the eruption of Old Faithful Geyer from a live-streaming webcam found on the park's website, courtesy of a Canon NU701 camera. Under the renewed sponsorship, a regular schedule of live ranger talks and programs at the Upper Geyer Basin will be established and a minimum of five new web videos/podcasts about park features and natural resources are expected to be created. Canon products, including cameras, camcorders and binoculars will continue to be used to assist in scientific studies, such as wolf-prey relationships and the impact of climate change on wildlife habitats, and new field studies about bighorn sheep and mountain goats will be launched. As data emerges from these studies, more web videos and podcasts highlighting these findings will be made available to the public through the park's website.
