Performance and high-quality thermal imaging! The design of the Merger LRF thermal binoculars is familiar from traditional day binoculars. They do not take up much space, and fit well in the hand, and in addition to their usability, they also look good. The device's six function buttons are placed on the top of the device, where they are easy to use and the most frequently used digital functions are at your fingertips with one press.
The optics of Merger LRF thermal binoculars take into account the nature of human vision. The human brain is conditioned to receive visual information from two channels at the same time. Therefore, looking with two eyes tires them less than squinting with one eye. This makes it easier for Merger to distinguish small and dim objects, especially in low-contrast conditions. The distance between the eyepieces of Merger LRF is adjustable between 63 and 74 mm, to best suit each user.
Once you know the correct distance, you can also effectively assess other possible special factors. The built-in laser rangefinder can determine and display the distance to objects very precisely (with an accuracy of ±1 m) up to 1 kilometer away. Accurate distance measurement in either Single Measurement or Scan Mode helps you quickly grasp the situation.
Whether it's rain, snowstorms, fog or early morning after a cold night, Merger's highly sensitive 640x480 pixel thermal imaging sensor (NETD <25 mK) detects even the smallest temperature differences even in conditions with low thermal contrast. The high resolution of the thermal imaging sensor with 640x480 pixels ensures that all objects in the field of view are visible in maximum detail. The high resolution of the sensor makes even the smallest objects, such as branches, leaves and animal body parts, appear exceptionally sharp and clear against the background.
The quality of the optics plays a major role in the performance of thermal imaging binoculars, ensuring that the image quality remains good even at the lowest radiation levels. This extreme efficiency is achieved by the Merger LRF's fast lens (F35/1.0) and super-sensitive thermal sensor. The Merger LRF offers its users the best quality, i.e. a sharp, high-contrast and informative image every time they use it – even in rain and fog, when the thermal contrast of the observed environment is at its lowest.
The Merger LRF thermal imaging binoculars have taken a new approach: the best possible settings have been made for different purposes and viewing objects, so that both the objects and their backgrounds stand out the most. The Merger LRF eyepieces guarantee perfect detail reproduction, which is important for counting horns, for example. The thermal image always remains clear regardless of changing weather and temperature conditions.
The Merger LRF is powered by two rechargeable batteries: one internal 4 Ah rechargeable battery and a replaceable 3.2 Ah battery. A single charge provides up to 9 hours of battery life. The replaceable battery design makes it easy to insert the battery, so swapping an empty battery for a charged one is a snap and a breeze in the dark.
A powerful, high-resolution objective lens combined with a highly sensitive 640 x 480 pixel (@17 µm pixel pitch) thermal imaging sensor delivers exceptional detection capabilities. A typical 1.8 meter target can be distinguished from a distance of 1800 meters in pitch darkness.
Up to 8x digital zoom makes it easier to focus and identify subjects at longer distances. The zoom level changes either gradually in 2x increments or continuously, so the user's field of view is fully customizable to suit the situation at hand.
The Merger LRF’s built-in Wi-Fi module works wirelessly with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets using the free Stream Vision 2 app. This opens up a whole new set of possibilities, including video streaming to the internet, wireless firmware updates, content sharing to social media, remote control and free access to Pulsar’s own news feed. In addition, registered users of the app receive 16 GB of free cloud storage where they can store material recorded on their device.
Whether it's heavy rain, a snowstorm, or other wet conditions, the IPX7 waterproof rating ensures that the device won't let you down even in the wettest weather! The device is designed to function flawlessly even when submerged to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.
The Merger LRF is built for continuous and often rough use. It has a strong and durable magnesium alloy body that is still lightweight. The body effectively protects the internal components of the device, especially its most important part – the thermal imaging sensor – from shocks, drops, moisture, heat and cold. The metal body also acts as a heat sink, which removes waste heat generated in the device’s internal parts (especially the thermal imaging sensor), reduces noise and also keeps the thermal imaging sensor stable even during prolonged use.
By connecting your Merger LRF to an Android or iOS mobile device using Pulsar's Stream Vision 2 mobile app, you can unlock a whole new set of capabilities, including streaming video to the web, wireless firmware updates, sharing content to social media, remote control, and access to Pulsar's own news feed. The faster 5 GHz frequency band enables smoother and more stable data transmission and reduces the susceptibility of the wireless connection to interference, improving your thermal imaging camera's productivity and making it a more enjoyable companion to your smart device.
The Merger LRF's body, power supply, optics and electronics are all designed to operate in extreme temperatures. The Merger LRF operates reliably and efficiently even at temperatures as low as -25°C.
The Merger LRF has a built-in video and image recorder. The Merger LRF's internal memory can hold hours of exciting videos and thousands of the best of your thermal images. All you have to do is press a button to capture an interesting moment or start recording a video. The footage can also be transferred to a computer via a USB-C cable. Merger LRF thermal imager owners also get 16 GB of free cloud storage by registering with Pulsar's own cloud service (Pulsar Cloud). All you need to do is install the free Stream Vision 2 mobile app, log in to the service and connect the device to your smartphone via Wi-Fi.
The Merger LRF’s high-definition HD AMOLED display delivers a sharp, high-contrast, and colorful viewing experience, and AMOLED technology ensures flawless, smooth HD images and power savings. A choice of eight different color palettes improves visibility in different conditions, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for each situation and viewing condition. Hot white, hot black, and hot red make it easier to detect target movement, while rainbow and ultramarine emphasize temperature differences between targets and make identification easier. Red monochrome, sepia, and violet reduce eye fatigue and are best suited for long-term night observation.
