professionally on large properties, high-performance night gear gives you the advantage after dark.
At Going Dark, we supply premium night vision and thermal equipment selected for Australian conditions. We stock proven gear from trusted brands including PULSAR, NOCPIX, and HIKMICRO.
What is night vision gear?
Night vision gear refers to equipment that helps you detect, identify, and operate in low light or complete darkness. This can include:
● Night vision rifle scopes
● Thermal imaging scopes
● Thermal monoculars
● Night clip-on systems
● IR illuminators and accessories
Each plays a different role depending on your target species, terrain, and typical distances.
Core night hunting gear
Night vision scopes
Amplify available light using digital sensors and infrared illumination.
Best suited for: short to mid-range hunting and closer-range detail.
Thermal imaging scopes
Detect heat signatures rather than visible light.
Best suited for: longer-range pig and wild dog control across open country.
Thermal monoculars
Handheld thermal devices used for scanning large areas efficiently.
Best suited for: detection first, then transition to a rifle optic for engagement.
Night clip-on systems
Convert your existing daytime optic into a night-capable setup.
Best suited for: shooters who want one familiar rifle setup for day and night.
Why quality matters in Australian conditions
Australia presents real operational challenges:
● Large, open properties
● High ambient temperatures and heat haze
● Dust and dry environments
● Long shooting distances
● Minimal ambient light in remote areas
Not all night gear performs equally in these conditions. The equipment we supply is selected for durability, reliability, and proven field performance in Australia.
Thermal vs night vision — which is right?
Your choice comes down to your application.
Thermal imaging
● Detects heat signatures
● Works in total darkness
● Effective through light vegetation
● Faster detection over large areas
Digital night vision
● Amplifies available light
● Provides clearer terrain detail at closer range
● More affordable entry point
● Often suits smaller properties and shorter distances
If you tell us what you’re hunting and your typical distances, we can recommend the best
direction quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Is night vision gear legal in Australia?
Regulations vary by state and intended use. Always confirm your local legal requirements.
What’s the best setup for pig hunting at night?
Thermal scopes are commonly preferred due to strong detection capability over longer
distances.
Do I need both a monocular and a scope?
Many professionals use a monocular for detection and a scope for engagement. It’s efficient and reduces unnecessary movement.
How far can thermal gear detect animals?
Premium models can detect heat signatures beyond 1,000 metres depending on conditions
(identification range will be shorter).
