Nocturna Sentinel Pro

Nocturna Sentinel Pro – Easy to use, handheld night vision

The Nocturna Sentinel range of handheld night vision cameras are ideal in assisting with personal security at home, farm and work at night. The light, easy to use infrared night vision camera works with a simple ON/OFF button under your index finger.

It has a 2.4” (63 mm) LED screen for viewing images in total darkness as the infrared beam provides “light”, unseen to the naked eye. 

GearReview tested the Sentinel Pro at our local shooting range and were able to clearly identify objects such as target stands, at 25 m and 50 m. At these distances, we were also able to identify people and the type of clothing they were wearing. People and animals were also clearly identified at distances between 50 m and 100 m. 

On the Sentinel Pro you can adjust the brightness of the LED screen and the strength of the infrared beam by manipulating two buttons with your thumb. They are within easy reach for one-handed operation.

In a test in the veld we were able to observe people out to 150m.

This device is ideal for spotting people on your premises or farm without them knowing that they are being watched. 

The device has limited ability when used through glass and caution should also be taken using the Pro with the screen at its brightest setting, as it might light up your face. Using it at arm’s length is best. It also omits a slight red glow, noticeable from a maximum of about 5 metres away. The Sentinel Pro works from 5m to 100m, making identifying humans easy, even on the darkest night.
