Buying used night vision or thermal? Before you pay, we’ll inspect the device and issue a written report.

What we check

  • serial number match against the datasheet
  • image condition (blemishes, halo, background)
  • functions (autogating, controls)
  • housing and optics condition
  • photos of the image through the device

How it works

Inspections are done at our showroom in Topoľčany, Slovakia, or by post. The inspection costs €100 – the same as a full diagnostic in our service centre (current terms are on our Maintenance & repairs page).

What’s included

  • a basic inspection of the device as listed above, with a written report
  • for night vision: replacement of seals (O-rings)
  • for night vision: nitrogen purging

If, after the inspection, you decide to have the device repaired by us and accept our quote, we waive the inspection fee. Further work is charged at no more than €100 per actual hour of service, plus materials.

If we ever offer to buy or trade in a device we have inspected, we will state this explicitly in the report.
