Dali S236 Thermal Monocular

• 384x288 VOx sensor: The 12.00 μm detector and 40.00 mK sensitivity give the Dali S236 enough thermal detail to separate animals, people, and background heat sources more clearly in difficult weather and after dark.
• 1600.00 m detection range: Long detection capability helps scan open ground, field edges, and wider terrain sooner, so the monocular is useful both for observation and for locating heat signatures before closing distance.
• 1000.00 m laser ranging: Integrated distance measurement adds practical field value by helping confirm range without carrying a separate device, which is especially useful when judging distance at night.
• LCOS display with 1280x960 resolution: A high-resolution eyepiece image makes prolonged viewing easier and helps the user interpret thermal contrast with less guesswork when tracking or identifying targets.
• WiFi, photo, and video recording: Wireless connectivity and onboard capture functions make it easier to save observations, review footage later, and share the image feed with a mobile device in the field.

About the Dali Thermal Monoculars Series

Dali Thermal Monoculars sit within DALI’s outdoor thermal-imaging range and are built as compact handheld viewers for hunting and general outdoor observation. The series is designed around uncooled focal-plane-array thermal detectors, giving users a practical way to detect heat signatures in darkness, brush, and other visually difficult environments without relying on ambient light. In DALI’s lineup, these monoculars serve as portable observation tools rather than weapon-mounted optics, with an emphasis on straightforward handling and low learning cost.

The wider family includes models aimed at different performance levels, while the S25X line adds features that matter in real field use: Wi-Fi image transmission, hotspot tracking, picture-in-picture, digital zoom, and photo and video recording. DALI positions the series for thermal-imaging hunting and outdoor journeys, where quick deployment, one-handed use, and a clear display matter more than complex controls. The result is a product family focused on practical thermal observation: enough image detail for detection and scanning, enough digital functionality for documentation and sharing, and a form factor that remains easy to carry for extended sessions outdoors.

About the Dali S236 Thermal Monocular

The Dali S236 Thermal Monocular is a handheld thermal viewer built around a 384x288 VOx uncooled sensor with a 35.00 mm objective lens and true 1.00 x optical magnification. That combination makes it well suited to scanning and observation at natural viewing scale, where the user wants to read terrain quickly rather than look through a heavily magnified image. Its 7.50 ° field of view gives a balanced image window for searching field edges, woodland openings, and wider ground while still retaining enough image scale for practical target observation.

Thermal performance is supported by a 12.00 μm pixel pitch, 40.00 mK NETD, and 50.00 Hz refresh rate. In practice, this helps the S236 present moving heat sources smoothly and maintain usable separation between subject and background when temperature differences are modest. The stated 1600.00 m detection range gives the monocular the reach needed for early spotting, while the laser rangefinder measures from 10.00 m to 1000.00 m for more confident distance assessment at night.

The viewing side is built around an LCOS display with 1280x960 resolution, supported by WiFi connectivity plus photo and video recording. These functions make the S236 more than a simple spotter: it can document observations, transmit the image to a mobile device, and support later review. With a 550.00 g body, AA power supply, up to 6.00 h battery life, and waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction, it is configured for practical field carry in changing weather.

About Dali

DALI traces its origins to the Zhejiang Provincial Testing Technology Research Institute, established in 1984. The company is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, and was restructured in 2001 before listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in February 2008. Its work centers on infrared and optoelectronic technology, with development spanning infrared core components, thermal-imaging systems, optoelectronic inertial-navigation products, and more complex optoelectronic systems.

In the thermal-imaging field, DALI’s expertise includes uncooled focal-plane-array detectors and infrared thermal-imaging cameras and systems. Its outdoor range covers monoculars, riflescopes, and binoculars, showing a clear focus on practical thermal devices for observation and field use. The IRtech name is presented as a professional thermal-imaging brand originating from DALI, linking the company’s detector and imaging background to its consumer and outdoor product lines.
