Pocket-sized. Sees a kilometre in darkness.
At 300 g and 144 mm long, the Alaris XQ30 is the thermal monocular that’s always in your pocket – and always ready. Detect animals at 1,050 m through total darkness, fog, and dense scrub without carrying extra kit.
Pocket thermal. The one you actually carry, because you hardly know it’s there.
Detect what your eyes cannot – in any conditions.
The 384×288 uncooled sensor with 17 μm pixel pitch and system NETD below 20 mK picks out warm animals against cold backgrounds in dense bush, open paddock, fog, and smoke. Nine selectable colour palettes – including White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot – let you tune the display to conditions.
System NETD in millikelvin. Detects the faintest heat signatures, even in low-contrast environments where conventional night vision fails.
Wide scan to close detail. 2–8×.
The F30/1.2 objective and 13.3° field of view let you sweep paddock edges at 2× and zoom to 8× to confirm a species in seconds. Smooth digital zoom with no pause or button hunting.
Frost-resistant. Vivid at any temperature.
The frost-resistant AMOLED display at 640×400 pixels stays sharp and vivid from midsummer heat to winter pre-dawn cold. What the sensor captures, the screen renders faithfully.
Stream live to your phone.
Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz) connects to the Pulsar Wild Vision app for live streaming to a smartphone, remote control, and over-the-air firmware updates – all without cables.
16 GB onboard storage
Capture photos in JPG and video in MP4 directly to 16 GB of internal memory. Charge via USB-C while recording in the field.
IPX7 waterproof, magnesium alloy body
Rated IPX7 for full waterproofing. The rugged magnesium alloy housing resists drops and dissipates heat, staying reliable from −20°C to +40°C.
Always with you. On-target the moment it leaves your pocket.
At 144×41×69 mm and just 0.3 kg with battery installed, the Alaris XQ30 disappears into a jacket pocket. The symmetrical form and intuitively placed buttons mean you are scanning the moment you raise it, whether that’s at dawn, dusk, or 2 am in the field.
Find warm bodies. Even in total darkness.
The 13.3° field of view sweeps tree lines, paddock edges, and wetland margins fast. Animals hidden in darkness, dense scrub, or heavy morning fog appear immediately as bright heat signatures – even before your eyes have adjusted to the dark.
Run all night without stopping. Swap in seconds if you do.
The removable APS 3 lithium-ion battery (3,200 mAh) delivers 7.5 hours of continuous use at 22°C. When it runs low, swap in a spare in seconds, no tools required. USB-C charging means one cable for everything you carry.
Night vision stops here. Thermal doesn’t.
Rain, fog, smoke, and total darkness defeat conventional night vision – not thermal. The 50 Hz frame rate delivers smooth, real-time video with every warm body rendered clearly, whatever conditions the Australian night throws at you.
Compact. Capable. Ready for the field. Nothing is there for show.
