I’ve had the aurora pro for about a…year I’ve had the aurora pro for about a year. This nvg is actually pretty amazing. Works well in low light, works well with illuminator, does a commendable job of trying to convert the dark into correct chromatic color. I gave it 4 stars because for this scope to make the leap it needs within the market it needs 2 things. First a digitally adjustable sight reticle as found on the ATN products. Second, the eye relief/focal point needs to be increased so that the eye doesn’t have to be so close to the display. This would allow for recoil with a black eye. SiOnyx has done a great job with this scope but these two features will greatly enhance the scope’s use ability for the hunting market.

Great device, great Customer Service... Their camera just wasn't right for my oldest son (an avoid hunter), so SIONIX accepted my return without question, full refund! If you're monitoring someone, say an FBI agent or other agency (DEA/DHS/Border Security, PI) THIS is your best way to go. The Head of Customer Care - Night Vision Camera Systems (Bill Bobrowski) , was all over the whole refund process. He also shipped the device very quickly. If ever I need something like this, I will definitely be back. Would recommend it! IF it had night/thermal capability, I might've kept it for myself...

APP SUCKS Your app to use with the Aurora is so bad it's completely useless. I've downloaded it over and over again, and tried everything to fix issues. I'm not the only person with these experiences with it freezing crashing or never connecting to the camera to begin with according to online forums these problems are quite common dating ba k over a year. Its clear Sionyx has no intent of improving there software. It's 2022 this isn't acceptable if you want to use "military quality" as an advertising slogan with your cameras. I won't be recommending your products.

Incredibly useful for boating Finally had a chance to acid-test the thing: cloudy night over the water, pitch black out to naked eye - though horizon lights around my bay and far-off city light haze provide a bit of illumination; color night mode test for boating use. I'm absolutely stunned by the detail observed - can clearly distinguish rocks, floating debris/logs, waves. Not even using the IR illuminator! Compare iPhone XS: black screen.

EXTREME VALUE achieving color digital night vision in compact elegant design Currently very early on with my testing/evaluation. But so far i am extremely impressed with the device. Top notch protective waterproof case. Very compact very elegant design. I love the digital enhancements with a sharp color image... far nicer than my $3k conventional NVG, and way sharper than my $3k thermal imager (but of course not having that special capability). i only had time for a quick eval around my yard, and i am very favorably impressed. i call it an extreme value for the price. Have not yet tested the IR illuminator, but i have had good results from using a different one with my conventional NVG.
