The Forward FN455 uses proprietary software, cutting-edge electronic components, and signal-processing algorithms to deliver one of the industry’s highest values of sensitivity in infrared spectrum (nighttime sensitivity). The result is a device offering flawless passive-mode performance in deep twilight, even night, without switching on IR illumination. High sensitivity in the range of 900-950nm makes it possible to use the Forward F455 with invisible IR Illuminators.

High nighttime sensitivity, high-resolution display, and sensor, a wide selection of brightness and contrast settings, quality optics, and a powerful built-in IR Illuminator for operation in total darkness make the Forward FN455 the perfect tool for detecting large quarry at distances of 450-500 meters.

To install the Forward FN onto the front optical bell of a daylight spotting scope or binoculars, adapters of various mounting sizes are used. The adapter permanently attaches to the scope’s bell. This allows quick installation of the Forward FN attachment in front of the lens for nighttime observation. When the attachment is not used, the adapter accommodates a protective cap to protect the spotting scope lens in the daytime.

Capturing still images and video is seamless with the Forward FN455’s built-in video recorder. High-quality videos will also record sound so you can capture your full experience whilst using the device.  Image and video content is stored internally and can easily be transferred to PC/laptop via wired connection or wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet with the iOS and Android compatible Stream Vision App.

The Forward FN455 is supplied with a detachable high power invisible IR illuminator (940 nm). Three adjustable IR power levels help choose a preferred effective range and illumination level of an object observed.

Forward FN455 uses an advanced self-contained autonomous B-Pack power supply system. The rechargeable battery IPS7 (6.5 Ah) fits into a special slot in the device’s body without protruding and delivers over 7 hrs. of operation from a single charge in the maximum consumption mode. Higher-powered IPS10 (10Ah) and IPS14 (13.2Ah) Battery Packs are also optionally available. Quick-release and wireless design, long operating time are the major highlights of this power system.

Using the free, high-tech, iOS and Android compatible Stream Vision app, the Forward FN455 connects via Wi-Fi to allow the transfer of images and video to smartphones and other wireless devices in real-time, stream footage to YouTube and other online video platforms (depending on model), and even use your personal device as wireless remote control.
