The Night Enforcer PVS-14 Monocular First Responders Kit is built around the battle proven performance of ITT's NEPVS-14 night vision monocular. This state-of-the-art NVD takes the legendary performance of the PVS-14 monocular to a higher level with the addition of ITT's 3rd generation Pinnacle tube. The Pinnacle is an auto-gated, thin-filmed image intensifier with variable gain control; the operator has the ability to increase or decrease image tube brightness for greater image contrast under dynamic lighting conditions. The Pinnacle is rated to deliver a minimum of 64 lp/mm of resolution.
The NEPVS-14 monocular is a multi-purpose monocular that can be used hand-held, head/helmet/tripod-mounted, deployed as a weapon-sight, or adapted to a camera/camcorder for surveillance purposes. It's built to endure harsh environments and small enough to fit in your coat pocket. For viewing under total-darkness conditions, the integral IR illuminator provides ample auxiliary illumination.
The First Responders kit features a selection of accessories that maximize the potential of the NEPVS-14; the monocular and its impressive array of ancillary items can be stored and transported in the dedicated hard-shell carry case.
There are many different variables that affect the distance that one can see with a night vision device, among them the object's size, the level of details being sought from the object and the conditions of observation. Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies. Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and the method of calculation varies by manufacturer. The important factors to consider when evaluating any night vision device are the intensifier tube's generation, s/n ratio, level of magnification, specified resolution, along with the clarity & light transmission efficiency of the optical system.

Comments about ITT Night Enforcer PVS-14 Pinnacle Night Vision Monocular:
The NEPVS14-17, ( "17"series meaning Pinnacle tubed )uses the 9815SLG, ( Select Grade ),Pinnacle image tube from ITT. a Gen3, thin filmed, with auto gated power supply. ( the " thin film" feature will provide a better quality image while maintaining a long service life ), ( the auto gated pwr. supply will pulse the power maintaining an image during bright light conditions while also protecting the imager from bright light damage,this along with the ABC/ automatic brightness control and the user adjustable image gain will maintain a usable image even during the most light polluted viewing / survailance ) If weapon mounted you should not exceed .223 caliber. ( The Pinnacle series tubes by their design, reduces halos around illuminated items in the viewed image but at the price of making them sensative to excessive firearm recoil ) The combination of the above light limiting and light managing technology make the Pinnicle series imagers a perfect choice for Law Enforcement use , ie CQB, Urbahn / city light polluted environments.
Now for the bad news - The latest lot of NEPVS14-17's from ITT, in this buyer's opinion, MUST be "Hand Sellect" , that is choosen for the buyer so that he / she will get the maximum quality image available. This latest lot of scopes come with data sheets so a selection of high specifications is possible BUT I have seen cosmetic blemishes ( smuges / smears in the image ), and LOW resolution ( grainy , not clear crisp images ). So to sum it up, nothing beats checking the image by eye and not just going by the data sheets. If you need a monocular with city / urbahn / light pollution in mind a Pinnacle image is the latest and greatest, just have the image pre checked to avoid dis appointments.
