When looking for your first nightvision device, one is often blinded by the beauty of the 'action' pictures shown next to the model. It's too good to be true! And most of the time it is...
What some nightvision vendors often tend to do is photoshop a regular daytime image so it looks like it's been recorded with a nightvision camera. Or they show you a GEN III image instead of the GEN I image which has a good price tag. Some general guidelines to recognize fake pictures:
Most (but not all) images recorded with a nightvision camera consist of a black square box containing a circular shape with the image itselves. If the green image is completely square then it's often a fake picture or maybe they have cut out the square from the circle.
What do you think the image on your left side is? Real or Fake? I think it's fake because of the fact that it's too sharp and not the black box / circular image which we talked before. And also the composition of this picture is quite strange. Why would one take a picture of a helicopter pilot who's wearing a NVD
with a NVD?
To be honest it's sometimes really hard to tell whether a picture is real or fake. I've posted a few real pictures and fake pictures below so you'll get a better idea.
