ThermTec Vidar 650 2.0

• 640×512 thermal sensor: The high-resolution sensor gives the ThermTec Vidar 650 2.0 enough detail for cleaner target recognition, helping distinguish animals, cover and terrain features more confidently at longer distances.
• ≤18 mK sensitivity: Low NETD improves the scope’s ability to separate small temperature differences, which matters in rain, humidity and low-contrast conditions where weaker thermal devices lose definition.
• 50 mm F1.0 objective: The fast lens gathers more thermal energy, supporting the scope’s long 2600 m detection capability and helping maintain a brighter, more informative image in difficult night-hunting conditions.
• 1024×768 AMOLED display: A high-resolution AMOLED screen presents the thermal image with good contrast and clear reticle visibility, reducing the coarse, blocky look that can make precise shot placement harder.
• 16-hour battery life: Long runtime from an 18650 power source makes the sight practical for extended outings, reducing the need for battery changes during a hunt or observation session.

About the ThermTec Vidar Series

The ThermTec Vidar Series was introduced as a line of thermal imaging sights for hunting, aimed at users who want a dedicated riflescope format rather than a handheld thermal monocular or clip-on. Within ThermTec’s outdoor range, the series sits as a purpose-built option for night shooting, combining a conventional scope layout with thermal imaging functions that support target detection and shot placement after dark.

Across the family, Vidar models vary by detector resolution and lens configuration, and the range includes both standard versions and laser-rangefinder variants. ThermTec also lists Vidar and Vidar 2.0 as separate series, with the original Vidar line remaining in the catalog alongside the updated generation. Core traits associated with the series include 12 μm thermal detectors, 1024×768 AMOLED displays, and hunting-focused features such as recoil-activated video recording on the original Vidar models. The result is a series built around practical field use: clear thermal imaging, a familiar riflescope form, and model choices that let hunters prioritize compactness, detector performance or added ranging capability.

About the ThermTec Vidar 650 2.0

The ThermTec Vidar 650 2.0 is a thermal riflescope configured for hunters who want strong image detail and long detection reach in a compact housing. Its 640×512 VOx uncooled sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch gives it a clear advantage when scanning for heat signatures that would be harder to read on lower-resolution units, while the ≤18 mK sensitivity helps preserve separation between target and background when temperature contrast is weak. In practice, that means a more readable image in mist, damp air and changing night conditions.

The scope uses a 2.80x base magnification with a 50.00 mm F1.0 objective, a combination that balances useful native image scale with strong thermal intake. That makes the Vidar 650 2.0 well suited to mixed hunting distances where wide enough situational awareness still matters, yet the scope retains the reach expected from a model with a 2600.00 m detection range. Its 8.80° field of view also helps when following moving game or checking edges of cover without feeling overly restricted.

A 1024×768 AMOLED display keeps the image crisp and the reticle easy to read, while the seven-reticle multi-reticle system gives the user flexibility to match the sight picture to different rifles, loads or shooting preferences. The Vidar 650 2.0 also supports image capture, video recording, video output and WiFi connectivity, making it useful not only for shooting but also for reviewing shots, sharing footage and managing recordings in the field. With a 16.00 h battery life, 625.00 g weight and waterproof, fogproof construction, it is designed to stay practical on a hunting rifle through long sessions and changing weather.

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 work spanning optics design, detector production and AI-driven calibration. That specialization is directly relevant to products such as thermal riflescopes, where image processing, detector performance and calibration stability have a major effect on what the user actually sees in the field.

ThermTec states that it uses proprietary NST algorithms and patented image-processing technologies in its thermal products. Its outdoor lineup includes thermal monoculars, imaging sights, clip-on devices and multispectrum binoculars, showing a clear focus on hunting and observation optics rather than general consumer electronics. In this category, ThermTec has built its reputation around compact thermal devices that combine practical field features with dedicated thermal-engineering expertise.
