Night vision scope DNT Optics NVMD-C200 4-in-1

DNT Optics NVMD-C200 is a compact digital day & night vision scope which, thanks to its multi-purpose design, can serve as four different devices in one. It can be used as a stand-alone riflescope, a night vision magnifier behind a red dot sight, a clip-on in front of an LPVO optic, or as an action camera. A single device thus allows you to adapt the weapon configuration to current conditions and the intended use.

Features and properties

The core of the device is a CMOS sensor with 1920×1080 px resolution and a lens with an f/1.2 aperture. This combination maximises the amount of incoming light and delivers a clearly legible image even at dusk and in very low ambient light conditions. The resulting image is displayed on a fine Micro-OLED display with 1920×1080 px resolution and a 50 Hz refresh rate.

Digital magnification in the range of 1–6× allows fast transitions between a wide overview of the surroundings and more detailed aiming at distant targets. True base magnification of 1×, a wide field of view and a 65 mm eye relief support fast target acquisition as well as comfortable tracking of moving targets. Using the rotary control, you can choose a smooth 1–6× profile or fast switching between 1×/3× and 1×/5×.

Four modes of use

In the stand-alone scope mode, the NVMD-C200 works as a digital riflescope with its own reticle. It offers 3 reticle types in 5 colours and allows you to store up to 10 zeroing profiles for different rifles, ammunition, or distances. Zeroing is simplified by the option to freeze the image and then electronically move the reticle to the point of impact.

As a digital magnifier behind a red dot sight, the device hides its own reticle and works only with the image and aiming point of the red dot. The default profile offers quick switching between 1× and 3× magnification, but in the menu it can also be changed to a 1×/5× profile or the full 1–6× range.

When used with the folding mount QDF170

In the clip-on mode, the NVMD-C200 is mounted in front of an LPVO riflescope. The magnification of the device is fixed at 1×, its own reticle is hidden and the user continues to work with the familiar reticle and zeroing of their daytime optic. The special Clip-On Zeroing function makes it possible to align the position of the digital image with the aiming point of the LPVO used.

The fourth mode of use is as an action camera. With a single press you can record standard horizontal videos in 1920×1080 px resolution at 50 frames per second. To fully utilise the action camera mode, you can purchase the folding quick-detach mount DNT QDF170 separately. When the device is flipped to the side, vertical FPV recording in 1080×1920 px resolution starts automatically, or the unit switches to a power-saving standby mode. The QDF170 mount is not included.

There are four image modes available – colour (day), black & white, green phosphor and white phosphor. The user can thus select the display that best matches the ambient light conditions and mode of use. For best results in night-time observation, we recommend using any external infrared illuminator. This version does not include an IR illuminator.

For precise aiming you can activate the Picture-in-Picture function, which displays a magnified cut-out of the target in a separate window without losing the overview of the surrounding area. The position of the auxiliary window can be set to the left side, centre or right side of the image.

The NVMD-C200 enables video recording with sound in 1920×1080 px resolution at 50 fps. Recordings are saved to the built-in 32 GB memory, so there is no need to purchase a memory card. In addition to standard recording, it also offers the RAV – Recoil Activated Video function, which, after detecting recoil, automatically saves a clip including 10 seconds before the shot and 10 seconds after it.

Using integrated Wi-Fi, the device can be connected to the DNT mobile app. The app allows you to view live images, manage, edit and transfer saved recordings or share them via your mobile phone.

The compact body of the device itself weighs 390 g. The design with IP67 protection rating is sealed against dust, rain and short-term immersion in water. The scope also withstands recoil up to 800 G, i.e. up to .50 BMG calibre level. This version includes the quick-detach mount DNT QDS150, which allows the device to be quickly removed from a Picatinny rail.

Power is supplied by a single Li-ion 18650 battery (not included), providing up to 6 hours of operation. The device can also be powered from an external 5 V source via a USB-C connector. USB-C is intended for external power only, not for charging the inserted battery. The battery must be charged in a separate charger, which is also not included.
