The TVS 11M-640 comes loaded with a profusion of features that sets it apart in a cluttered market. Boasting a resolution of 64×512 pixels, the device offers PAL and HDMI video outputs giving users high-quality viewing options. Adding to this offering is its internal video recording capability, which enables it to store recorded data conveniently into a 64GB SD card. It also offers a 1-4x digital zoom.
The unit’s deployability is exceptionally versatile. It can be weapon or helmet-mounted or even held by hand, proving further proof of its multi-functionality. Further solidifying its position as a standout solution is the integrated 830nm wavelength laser pointer, a feature that goes a long way in assisting pinpoint accuracy.
“TVS 11M is the next generation of Newcon Optik’s field-proven thermal imaging product line,” the company explains. “Designed as a multipurpose thermal imager, the extremely lightweight and compact TVS 11M can be deployed in handheld, helmet or weapon-mounted configuration. Using a state-of-the-art uncooled thermal sensor, the TVS 11M delivers incredibly clear images while achieving continuous operation of over 4 hours. The TVS 11M is fully MIL-SPEC and features a built-in 2x and 4x digital zoom for enhanced distance performance. With video-output as a standard feature, internal video/photo storage, and a built-in IR laser pointer, the TVS 11M is the ideal thermal monocular for military, police, and search & rescue applications”.
Among its most significant features is that the TVS 11M-640 is ITAR-free, making it accessible for international buyers without the need for additional export permissions which is often the case with high-tech defense equipment. The device has been explicitly marketed for the defense sector, with the unit price dependent on the volume of the order.
Adding to its substantial list of capabilities, the TVS 11M-640’s excellent mounting capability means it can be fit on a variety of weaponry – from rifles to machine guns and even anti-armour weapons like the Carl Gustaf.
