ThermTec Ares 360 2.0

• Dual field of view system: The 20 mm and 60 mm optical setup lets the sight switch between a wide scanning view and a tighter image for target assessment, so it works both for searching ground quickly and for making more deliberate shots at distance.
• 384x288, 12 μm thermal sensor: This sensor format balances detail, responsiveness, and manageable base magnification, giving a usable thermal image for hunting and observation without making the sight overly specialized for only one distance band.
• NETD 20 mK sensitivity: High thermal sensitivity helps the Ares 360 2.0 separate subtle temperature differences, which makes animals, edges, and background detail easier to read in damp weather, changing terrain, or low-contrast night conditions.
• AMOLED display with recording and WiFi: The 1024×768 AMOLED screen presents a clear viewing image, while onboard photo and video capture plus WiFi support make it easier to save footage, review encounters, and share data from the field.
• 12-hour power system: The 18650-powered design supports long sessions without constant battery changes, which is useful for extended night hunts, pest control, and observation periods where downtime matters.

About the ThermTec Ares 2.0 Series

ThermTec Ares 2.0 is a current thermal imaging sight family introduced on September 10, 2024 as part of ThermTec’s dedicated sight lineup. The series is built around 12 μm uncooled thermal detectors and is aimed at users who need a conventional riflescope-style format for observation and night hunting. Within the range, ThermTec offers both standard Ares 2.0 models and Ares LRF 2.0 variants, giving buyers a choice between a simpler sighting system and versions with integrated ranging and ballistic support.

A defining trait of the series is its mix of configurations. Some models use fixed 35 mm or 50 mm lenses, while others use a dual 20 mm/60 mm field-of-view system to cover both wide-area scanning and more concentrated target evaluation. Across the family, ThermTec also applies AI-assisted image calibration intended to keep the image stable as conditions change. That matters in thermal use, where humidity, temperature shifts, and background clutter can quickly affect how clearly heat signatures stand out. In practical terms, the Ares 2.0 series sits as a versatile hunting-oriented thermal riflescope range that combines traditional scope handling with modern digital thermal functions.

About the ThermTec Ares 360 2.0

ThermTec Ares 360 2.0 is the dual-field-of-view model in the series built around a 384x288 VOx uncooled sensor, a 12.00 μm pixel pitch, and 20.00 mK NETD. In use, that combination is aimed at giving a clean thermal image with enough sensitivity to pick up small temperature differences that can otherwise disappear into wet vegetation, uneven ground, or cluttered backgrounds. The sight’s 3000.00 m detection range supports long-distance spotting, while the practical strength of the model lies in how it moves between search and engagement tasks.

Its standout feature is the 20 mm / 60 mm dual optical system. At 1.80 x, the wide field of view helps cover more terrain quickly, which is useful when scanning field edges, woodland openings, or moving animals at shorter distances. Switching to 5.50 x narrows the view and gives a more deliberate image for target identification and shot placement. The AMOLED display with 1024×768 resolution keeps the viewing image crisp and easy to interpret in darkness, while the seven-reticle system and illuminated reticle options allow the sight picture to be adapted to different backgrounds and shooting preferences.

The Ares 360 2.0 also suits extended field use. 12.00 h battery life from an 18650 power system reduces interruptions during long outings, and onboard photo and video recording, video output, and WiFi connectivity add useful digital functionality without changing the scope-style handling. With a 50.00 mm eye relief, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction, and an operating range of -20°C to +55°C, it is configured for practical hunting use in varied weather and terrain.

About ThermTec

ThermTec Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2011 and is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The company focuses on infrared thermal-imaging systems and solutions, with in-house work spanning optics design, detector production, and AI-driven calibration. That background is directly relevant to products such as thermal riflescopes, where image processing, detector behavior, and optical integration all affect how usable the final image is in the field.

ThermTec’s outdoor range includes thermal monoculars, imaging sights, clip-on devices, and multispectrum binoculars. The company also states that it uses proprietary NST algorithms and patented image-processing technologies, reflecting a product strategy centered on thermal image optimization rather than only hardware format. In the hunting and observation segment, ThermTec has built a broad catalog of dedicated thermal devices that covers handheld viewing, weapon-mounted sighting, and hybrid observation roles.
