AGM Protector TM50-384

• 50 mm F1.0 objective lens: The larger front lens gives the AGM Protector TM50-384 more reach than shorter-lens handheld thermals, helping users identify heat sources at longer distances while still keeping the unit compact enough for field carry.
• 384x288 thermal sensor with 17.00 μm pixel pitch: This sensor format balances image detail, detection capability, and manageable size, making the monocular well suited to scanning fields, woodland edges, and open ground for heat signatures.
• 50.00 Hz refresh rate: A fast refresh rate keeps moving animals, vehicles, and people looking more natural in motion, which makes panning and tracking easier during active observation.
• 1024×768 HD display: The high-resolution display presents the thermal image with a clearer, more comfortable view, which helps when spending longer periods behind the monocular and when checking fine scene detail.
• WiFi, photo capture, and video recording: Built-in connectivity and recording functions make it easier to save observations, review footage later, or share the live view with a connected device in the field.

About the AGM Protector Series

The AGM Protector series is a family of thermal imaging monoculars built for compact handheld viewing while still offering enough optical reach for longer-range observation. Within AGM Global Vision’s thermal lineup, the series sits as a practical option for users who need a dedicated observation device rather than a weapon-mounted optic, making it suitable for hunting, property surveillance, search tasks, and general night-time field use.

Protector monoculars use 17 μm uncooled microbolometers with 384 × 288 thermal resolution, paired across the range with a 1024 × 768 display and a 50 Hz refresh rate. The series is offered in 25 mm, 50 mm, and 75 mm lens versions, so users can choose between a wider field of view or more optical reach. Digitally adjustable brightness, contrast, and sharpness allow the image to be tuned to weather, terrain, and target background, while selectable thermal palettes help separate heat sources from surrounding cover. The lightweight aluminum body reflects the series’ emphasis on portability and field durability.

About the AGM Protector TM50-384

The AGM Protector TM50-384 is the mid-to-longer-range model in the series, combining a 2.50 x optical magnification with a 50.00 mm F 1.0 objective lens. That configuration gives it a narrower, more deliberate view than a short-lens thermal monocular, which is useful when the priority is checking distant tree lines, field margins, tracks, or open ground rather than scanning the widest possible area. Its 5.60 ° field of view keeps enough scene coverage for handheld observation while giving the image more apparent target size at base magnification.

The thermal core uses a 384x288 uncooled sensor with 17.00 μm pixel pitch and a 50.00 Hz refresh rate, a combination that supports smooth viewing when following movement and helps preserve a stable image during panning. The 1024×768 HD display provides a clear viewing surface for extended observation, and the monocular’s digital image controls are useful when contrast changes with humidity, background heat, or uneven terrain. Photo capture and video recording add practical value for documenting sightings, inspections, or incidents, while WiFi expands how the device can be used with external viewing or sharing.

Physically, the TM50-384 remains manageable as a handheld unit at 550.00 g and 225.00 mm in length. Waterproof and fogproof construction support use in poor weather, and the stated operating range of -40°C to +70°C suits demanding outdoor conditions. Power comes from CR123A batteries, with up to 5.00 h of runtime for mobile observation sessions.

About AGM Global Vision

AGM Global Vision was founded in 2019 by Gary Tarakanov and Mark Tarakanov and is based in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. The company focuses on thermal imaging, night vision, and digital optics, with a catalog that covers handheld observation devices, weapon sights, binoculars, and illumination equipment. In the night-vision segment, AGM has offered image-intensifier products from Generation 2 to Generation 3, showing a broad reach across electro-optics rather than a narrow single-category focus.

Its thermal lineup includes established families such as the Rattler and Adder series, and the company has continued to expand into newer formats, including the Sidewinder handheld thermal observation line introduced in 2023 and the Spectrum LRF 4K digital day/night scope launched in 2024. That background is relevant to the Protector TM50-384 because it places the monocular within a manufacturer that is strongly centered on practical thermal and night-use field optics.
