A Detailed Guide on PVS14 Night Vision Monocular

The multi-purpose Night Vision Monocular, PVS14 Gen 3 from ATN serves both government agencies and militaries worldwide. It features a Gen 3 image intensifier that delivers 22:1 signal-to-noise performance and 64lp/mm resolution. The PVS14 night vision comes with bright light cut-off circuitry and automatic brightness control that helps protect the operator’s eye from excessive brightness and adjusts the image in dynamic lighting conditions.


The PVS14 is the best multi functional night vision monocular available today. In one eye it allows the user to retain their night adapted vision and in the other illuminated eyepiece, it allows viewing the surrounding. The new battery package allows the user to power on the unit when flipped down and power off when in an upright position.

The PVS14 night vision monoculars are very much compatible with camera and camcorder adapters. This is why they are used for evidence gathering and recon missions. The Proshield protective lens clothing, 10-inch close focusing distance, and integrated infrared illuminator, make the PVS-14 a full featured NVD for tactical and recreational use.

Night Vision Feature Considerations

Autogated and Gain Adjustment


  • Auto gating improves the night vision image displayed during dynamic lighting conditions. It can make a swift transition from low light into the night.
  • Auto gating tubes protect the tubes from direct light exposure to save them from getting damaged.
  • With the manual gain adjustment, users can change the brightness of the image displayed.

(IR) Illuminators, Power, Battery Life, And Magnification

  • IR Illuminators on night vision devices help in those extreme low light conditions by providing a proper image.
  • A majority of the night vision devices use standard AA batteries.
  • The majority of night vision goggles have a magnification of 1X which is very helpful when used from a static position.

The biggest advantage of purchasing a monocular is that you can mount it in tandem with a rifle optic. With clip-on night vision,  users can also mount the monocular either on the rifle or their head.

If you want to save a little and get a great bang for your dollars spent, the PVS14 Night Vision with Photonis 4G Echo Autogated White Phosphor Tubes is a great option. For more information, visit nightvision4less.com.
