When it gets dark, you might as well be blindfolded! 

“I could not believe how 

the front door of the 

residence was now in 

perfect sight which I was 

not able to determine 

with my naked eye. 

With my naked eye I 

was not even able to see 

that multiple doorways 

existed. Now with the 

SuperVision in use I was 

able to see the suspect, 

observe the exact 

doorway that was being 

used by the suspect, the 

number on the doorway 

and vehicle registrations 

that were associated with 

this residence. This was 

all done from inside my 

under-cover vehicle.” 

Handgun, baton, vest, flashlight, cuffs – cops have a lot of tools to 

get the job done. But a cop’s greatest asset is his eyes. And when 

you’re working at night, no matter if it’s on patrol, serving a warrant, 

chasing a bad guy, or a thousand other tasks, you might as well be 

blindfolded. You’re working with a huge disadvantage, because you 

just can’t see what you’re dealing with. 

SuperVision is in a class by itself. Unlike image intensified night vision 

devices that have been adopted for law enforcement, SuperVision 

has been built from the ground up, especially designed for police and 

agents and their special requirements in an increasing dangerous 

urban environment. Xenonics engineers have taken solid-state, wide 

dynamic range imaging to the next level of sophistication with the 

application of digital signal processing (DSP) and image enhancement 

software that brings otherwise indistinguishable forms into sharp 

identifiable objects. This advanced technology, built in SuperVision, 

gives law enforcement the tactical edge they need for situational 

awareness, intelligence and evidence. 

Take Back the Night

No matter the mission or need, Xenonics has a SuperVision that is specifically designed for you. 

SuperVision is an essential force multiplier that fills situational awareness and evidentiary capture capability gaps for law enforcement. SuperVision 

provides officers and agents the ability to accomplish tasks more effectively and safely at night, increasing the ability to move and control situations 

by detecting and identifying suspicious activity and people that would otherwise not have been seen; elevating situational awareness of the 

subject and surrounding area; and increasing range of identification and engagement, protecting officers who would otherwise be vulnerable. 

SuperVision’s proprietary architecture combines: 

• the most light sensitive CCD sensor available today – for extreme low light viewing; 

• a High Definition black & white display – view your scene in ultra-high resolution and contrast – for superior detail & situational awareness; 

• proprietary digital signal processing – affords the ultimate in versatility – allows you to see every detail in low-light conditions, high-light 

conditions, and with bright light in low-light scenes without blooming, even full daylight; 

• 2-8X variable zoom – to get you in close to the exact details you need, without actually having to get close. 

SuperVision® 

Gives you what you need at night – crystal clear, 

high definition, high contrast visual information 

– no matter what the conditions are (from pitch 

black to dusk or daylight, even with bright light in 

otherwise dark scenes) without blooming.

HIGH-DEFINITION NIGHT VISION - PATROL PACKAGE 

It’s what you don’t see... 

WASHINGTON – Nearly 40% of police 

officers fatally shot this year have 

been slain in ambush-style attacks or 

when they were surprised by suspects 

with firearms, according to USA 

TODAY. 

“This is a devastating and 

unacceptable trend,” Attorney 

General Eric Holder told law 

enforcement officials this month in 

Washington. 

SuperVision used in patrol cars or as 

a mobile handheld device can keep 

officers out of harm’s way. 

SuperVision Patrol Package 

For law enforcement, especially at night, there’s danger at every turn. 

You’ve got a lot of tools to get the job done -- handgun, shotgun, vest, 

flashlight, cuffs. But your greatest tool is your eyes. When you’re working 

at night, you might as well be blindfolded. You just can’t see what you’re 

dealing with and what you don’t see can hurt you. 

Xenonics SuperVision Patrol Package allows you to mount SuperVision 

inside your vehicle and make patrol operations safer at night! 

• See clearly 300 yards down field in total darkness 

• Quickly assess what’s occurring at a safe distance 

• Approach situations at night with lights out 

• View, control and record the video from your onboard KDT/MDT 

• Quick dismount SuperVision when you need to pursue subjects on foot. 

Do Your Job Better and Safer

SuperVision is in a class by itself. Unlike image intensified night vision 

devices that have been adopted for law enforcement, SuperVision is 

designed for law enforcement and your special requirements in an 

increasingly dangerous urban environment. 

“SuperVision is a great piece of Officer Safety Equipment. It 

allows you to see at night, what you cannot see with the naked 

eye. SuperVision allows you to work without giving away 

your position, and from a much safer distance. Works great 

for calls for service as well as routine patrol. The ability to use 

SuperVision inside the car from the KDT and as a handheld 

device outside the car gives you a great advantage.” 

The Patrol Package includes SuperVision Video Out and 

everything needed to mount and integrate into the 

vehicle’s onboard KDT/MDT: SVTVO100 SuperVision

SuperVision – a class by itself 

Unlike most post Desert Storm Gen I, Gen II or Gen III image intensified night vision devices that have been adopted 

for law enforcement, SuperVision has been built from the ground up, especially designed for police and agents and 

their special requirements in an increasing dangerous urban environment. While there are plenty of night vision and 

thermal imaging products on the market, only SuperVision is so unique that it’s in a class by itself. 

Murrieta Police Dept. “SuperVision is a great piece of 

Officer Safety Equipment. It allows you to see, at night, 

what you cannot see with the naked eye. SuperVision 

allows you to work without giving away your position, 

and from a much safer distance. Works great for calls 

for service as well as routine patrol. The ability to use 

SuperVision inside the car from the KDT and quickly 

and safely go on foot when you need gives you a great 

advantage” 

Fort Worth Police Dept. “ We have set up watching 

dope houses and then knocked down the cars as they 

leave. SuperVision has enabled us to see hand to hand 

transactions and get really good descriptions on the 

actors. 

The other night, after a car pursuit, the passenger hid 

in a heavily wooded area. One of my guys was on 

the perimeter and when the search team flushed him 

out, he was able to see the actor sneaking out under 

the concealment (or so he thought) of darkness. He 

was apprehended in an under the roadway tunnel 

by my team member. This particular bad guy was on 

our 10 most wanted list and had evaded our officers 7 

previous times - once earlier in the same day. 

The unit has definitely made our job easier and more 

productive. I appreciate the officer safety factor 

that the unit brings to the table. The zoom enables 

me to position officers at positions that offer more 

cover, distance, and control than Gen 3 night vision. 

Of course, the safety of my officers is paramount 

and I worry less when I can keep them in a tactically 

advantageous position.” 

Dauphin County Drug Task Force “I was using it 

on surveillance in the evening hours at an apartment 

complex that was very poorly lit. The apartment street 

lighting was spaced far apart and no lighting was 

near the suspects entry which was about 40 feet away 

from the street. The evening was cloudy and very 

little natural light was available. With the naked eye, 

I was unable to observe anything from my position 

of surveillance in a vehicle positioned about 40 or 

50 yards from the target location. This investigation 

required the police to be able to see the suspect come 

and go from the front door of the residence without 

being too close that the investigation would be 

compromised. 

I then used the SuperVision and was stunned. I could 

not believe how the front door of the residence was 

now in perfect sight which I was not able to determine 

with my naked eye. With my naked eye I was not even 

able to see that multiple doorways existed. Now with 

the SuperVision in use I was able to see the suspect, 

observe the exact doorway that was being used by 

the suspect, the number on the doorway and vehicle 

registrations that were associated with this residence. 

This was all done from inside my undercover vehicle. 

This is definitely a valuable tool for law enforcement.” 

US Forest Service “On one particular night another 

agent and I were on LP/OP assignments approximately 

250 yards from a known “drop” location. My partner 

was equipped with a typical Gen 3 green light scope 

and I with my SuperVision. As the targets approached, 

I was able, with the zoom capabilities, to capture 

all the activities taking place to include bundle 

exchanges where my partner could only see “ants on 

the hillside”. I looked through his green light scope just 

for comparison sake and saw exactly that, “ants on a 

hillside”. Without SuperVision, we would have missed a 

60 pound narcotics exchange, the subsequent arrest of 

4 individuals and the seizure of 2 firearms.!” 

Evansville Police Dept. “This is the best night vision 

system I have used. The clarity and resolution is great. 

I believe this system is much more useful for urban law 

enforcement than Gen 3 night vision.”

Ridgecrest Police Dept. “We used SuperVision 

during nighttime narcotics buys. The clarity with 

which SuperVision provided us was second to none. 

SuperVision assisted us in locating a suspect hiding in 

a car over 50 ft. away that had fired a gun in the air in 

a residential neighborhood. Without it or using Gen 

2 or 3, we may not have been able to see him. Thanks 

SuperVision!” 

Kansas Wildlife & Parks “I would recommend 

SuperVision to urban law enforcement agencies. The 

system works great for surveillance in town and the 

zoom is great.” 

Luna County Sheriff’s Dept “SuperVision’s digital 

zoom is great to standard Gen 3 night vision. Very easy 

to operate and work. The black and white screen is 

great. You don’t see any snow like most Gen 3 have.” 

Orange City Police Dept. “Overall, it is much better 

than other N.V. that’s on the market. The simple fact 

that is has a zoom or zoom capabilities is a major 

plus. You can use it in an urban environment where 

headlights, street lights & signs are being used without 

a blooming effect. The clarity is much better than 

other night vision.” 

US Marshals Service (Atlantic City) “Far more 

versatile especially during surveillance ops in urban 

areas. System allow user to see into dark areas that fall 

beyond light sources such as street lights.” 

Clayton Police Dept. “I would absolutely recommend 

the SuperVision Digital Night Vision system to any Law 

Enforcement Agency that is considering some type 

of night vision equipment. The system is easy to use, 

easy to operate. It offers a recharge battery, carrying 

case, compact size and seems to be very durable in its 

construction. Several of our officers tested the device 

and found it to be very useful and practical for it’s size 

and shape.” 

Oxnard Police Dept. “This product is far superior to 

the other night vision systems that I have used. The 

fact that it is a hand held night vision system makes it 

really easy to take out in the field. I used the night 

vision to scout out several locations for search 

warrants. The clarity was excellent. The system makes 

it easy to identify suspects.” 

Zion Police Dept. “We have set up watching dope 

houses, and it gave us an eyeball on our snitch from 

a safe distance away. We have tried Gen 2+ but have 

found that SuperVision is 100% better. It gives us zoom 

capabilities and we didn’t get the blooming effect. 

Great product. Great price.” 

Pawnee Nation Police Dept. “Found SuperVision 

to be superior over other night vision products. The 

greatest advantage was being able to change setting 

to adjust to different light or dark conditions.” 

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office “This product 

works very well in surveillance situations.” 

North Las Vegas Police Dept. “SuperVision is an 

asset to any team that lacks night vision capability. 

Overall quality is very good and the unit operated 

without a problem during our test and evaluation 

period. Thanks for making night vision more 

affordable.” 

Kenosha Police Dept. “I was in a cemetery looking 

for a suicidal subject with a gun and going to hang 

himself. I was able to search the area with confidence 

that the suspect was not in the area. It was later 

determined that he failed at his attempt to hang 

himself and fled the area to his residence. He was later 

picked up. With SuperVision I felt I had an advantage 

over the suspect.” 

Paris Police Dept. “Excellent product. I would 

recommend to any military unit or law enforcement 

division.” 

Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office “Compact, 

lightweight, the zoom is a nice feature. Does not show 

light to the front. This product is ideal with minimum 

ambient light. Urban and moonlit nights make this 

the perfect tool for many problems.”

“I could not believe how the 

front door of the residence was 

now in perfect sight which I was 

not able to determine with my 

naked eye. With my naked eye 

I was not even able to see that 

multiple doorways existed. Now 

with the SuperVision in use I was 

able to see the suspect, observe 

the exact doorway that was 

being used by the suspect, the 

number on the doorway and 

vehicle registrations that were 

associated with this residence. 

This was all done from inside 

my under-cover vehicle.” 

SuperVision 

“When something’s going down in the dark, I need to be close enough 

to identify the subject or situation without being compromised.” For 

law enforcement professionals like you, you’ve got to be close enough 

to identify exactly what’s happening, but not compromise yourself or 

your operation. SuperVision gives you crystal clear images in any lighting 

condition, to get you the situational awareness, intelligence and the 

evidence you need to do it right and make it stick. 

The Tactical Edge 

SuperVision is built on an entirely new, patented technology. Xenonics’ 

engineers have taken solid-state, wide-dynamic range imaging to next 

level of sophistication with the application of digital signal processing (DSP) 

& image enhancement software that brings otherwise indistinguishable 

forms into sharp identifiable objects. This advanced technology, built in 

SuperVision, gives law enforcement the tactical edge they need to identify 

people and objects with crystal clarity. 

SuperVision -- a Class by Itself 

Unlike most post Desert Storm Gen I, Gen II or Gen III image intensified night 

vision devices that have been adopted for law enforcement, SuperVision 

has been built from the ground up, especially designed for officers and 

agents and their special requirements in an increasing dangerous urban 

environment. While there are plenty of night vision and thermal imaging 

products on the market, only SuperVision is so unique that it’s in a class by 

itself.

Key Features 

• Low-Light CCD Sensor 

• 2-8x Zoom Capability 

• Digital Signal Processing 

• HDTV Display 

• Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 

• Smart Digital Battery Charger 

• Lightweight, Ruggedized 

• Patented Technology 

• Battery Runtime: 2 hours 

Uses and Applications 

SuperVision is designed to give law enforcement officers and agents the edge at night, whether on 

patrol, in pursuit, search & rescue, surveilling, no matter what the night may bring. From gathering 

intelligence to recording evidence, see the details you need in the dark or shadows, from a 

safe distance. 

The Difference is Black and White 

In field tests, operators report significantly better degrees of detail, overall contrast, full moon similarity 

and range of shades with SuperVision. That’s because SuperVision provides more discriminating 

shades of intensity between black and white, resulting in better contrast and depth perception.

Night Vision Product Overview 

Night vision products come in a variety of product types based on the particular application. They can further be 

divided between analog light amplification (image intensified or I2) devices, thermal imagery devices and digital 

viewing devices (so-called Digital Night Vision). SuperVision employs a radically different technological platform to 

provide enhanced visual information in high definition and high contrast to identify objects viewed, over a much 

broader range of night-time conditions, specifically designed for law enforcement. 

Light amplification devices provide a viewable image to the user during 

low-light conditions by amplifying the available ambient light in the 

environment. Typically, they amplify the ambient light by factors of 

20,000 to 50,000 times. Analog light amplification devices are referred to 

as Gen I, Gen II or Gen III, with increasingly higher amplification with 

progressive generations. Since the end of the cold war, significant numbers 

of Gen I, Gen II, Gen II+ and Russian night vision devices have become 

available on the commercial market. Gen III, the current military standard, 

is designed to detect opposing forces under triple-canopy rural conditions. 

The second main type of night vision device is a thermal imaging device. 

These devices detect and process the heat signature of a particular object 

and display this image to the user independent of the ambient light. A 

particular benefit of thermal imaging devices is that they can penetrate 

dust, smoke and snow and provide their image to the user in conditions 

that otherwise would significantly hamper light amplification devices. 

The last type of night vision device is digital night vision. These devices 

employ inexpensive consumer-grade CCD camera technology, coupled with 

low-cost, low resolution near-eye displays, poor quality lenses and clusters of LEDs for active illumination. These 

devices provide poor quality images at distance of no greater than 30 feet using active illumination. Without use of 

their active illumination, these devices are useless at night. 

Capability Gaps for Law Enforcement 

All types of military night vision devices have made inroads with law enforcement and security. However, designed 

for military missions, each of these products have technical limitations that prevent them from meeting the needs 

of law enforcement and security. Night vision devices, whether analog or digital, are characterized by their limited 

intra-scene dynamic range. For example, analog night vision devices offer the capacity to detect objects in low-light 

conditions. However, in a night-time urban environment characterized by bright lights intermixed with areas of 

darkness and shadows, as well as dynamic lighting conditions, analog devices, that are intolerant of high ambient 

light, bloom and can be damaged when observing bright sources under low-light conditions. 

Thermal imagers detect and display surface temperatures only – when objects and surrounding temperatures are the 

same, objects are difficult to discern. 

Both analog night vision and thermal imaging devices are designed for the military battelfield to detect objects, and 

employ 1X magnification (same as the naked eye) to do so. These technologies cannot provide enough contrast, detail 

or resolution to recognize or identify civilian from insurgent, innocent bystander from perp.

SuperVision – a class by itself 

S 

Unlike most post Desert Storm Gen I, Gen II or Gen III image intensified night vision devices that have been 

adopted for law enforcement, SuperVision has been built from the ground up, especially designed for police and 

agents and their special requirements in an increasingly dangerous urban environment. While there are plenty 

of night vision and thermal imaging products on the market, only SuperVision is so unique that it’s in a class by 

itself. 

SuperVision is designed specifically for law enforcement to fill the void in performance and versatility left by night 

vision and thermal imaging technologies. SuperVision gives law enforcement officers and agents what you need – 

crystal clear, high definition, high contrast visual information – no matter what the conditions are (from pitch black 

to dusk or daylight, even with bright light in otherwise dark scenes) without blooming, and zoom for getting close – 

for unmatched situational awareness, intelligence and evidence so critical to the job. 

SuperVision’s proprietary architecture combines: 

• the most light sensitive CCD sensor available today – for extreme low light viewing; 

• a High Definition (HD) black & white display – to project the scene in ultra-high resolution and high contrast – 

for superior detail and situational awareness; 

• proprietary digital signal processing – affords the ultimate in versatility – allows you to see every detail in lowlight 

conditions, high-light conditions, and with bright light in low-light scenes without blooming, even full 

daylight 

• 2-8X variable zoom – to get you in close to the exact details you need, without actually having to get close (in 

contrast to the 1X of the more tactically oriented conventional I2 devices); 

• covert infrared illumination – undetectable by the naked eye, lights up the scene for maximum fidelity in even 

the darkest situations 

SuperVision is an essential force multiplier that fills situational awareness and evidentiary capture capability gaps for 

rural and urban law enforcement. The system provides officers and agents the ability to accomplish tasks more 

effectively and safely at night, increasing the 

ability to move and control situations by 

detecting and identifying suspicious activity and 

people that would otherwise not have been seen; 

elevating situational awareness of the subject 

and surrounding area; and increasing range of 

identification and engagement, protecting officers 

who otherwise would be vulnerable to attack.

VIDEO OUT 

“On one particular night another 

agent and I were on LP/OP 

assignments approximately 250 

yards from a known "drop" location. 

My partner was equipped with a 

typical Gen 3 green light scope 

and I with my SuperVision. As the 

targets approached, I was able, with 

the zoom capabilities, to capture 

all the activities taking place to 

include bundle exchanges where 

my partner could only see "ants 

on the hillside". I looked through 

his green light scope just for 

comparison sake and saw exactly 

that, "ants on a hillside". Without 

SuperVision, we would have missed 

a 60 pound narcotics exchange, the 

subsequent arrest of 4 individuals 

and the seizure of 2 firearms..” 

SuperVision 

“When something’s going down in the dark, I need to be close enough 

to identify the subject or situation without being compromised.” For 

law enforcement professionals like you, you’ve got to be close enough 

to identify exactly what’s happening, but not compromise yourself or 

your operation. SuperVision gives you crystal clear images in any lighting 

condition, to get you the situational awareness, intelligence and record 

the evidence you need. 

The Tactical Edge 

SuperVision is built on an entirely new, patented technology. Xenonics’ 

engineers have taken solid-state, wide-dynamic range imaging to next 

level of sophistication with the application of digital signal processing (DSP) 

& image enhancement software that brings otherwise indistinguishable 

forms into sharp identifiable objects. This advanced technology, built in 

SuperVision, gives law enforcement the tactical edge they need to identify 

people and objects with crystal clarity. 

SuperVision -- a Class by Itself 

Unlike most post Desert Storm Gen I, Gen II or Gen III image intensified night 

vision devices that have been adopted for law enforcement, SuperVision 

has been built from the ground up, especially designed for officers and 

agents and their special requirements in an increasing dangerous urban 

environment. While there are plenty of night vision and thermal imaging 

products on the market, only SuperVision is so unique that it’s in a class by 

itself.

Uses and Applications 

SuperVision is designed to give law enforcement officers and agents the edge at night, whether on 

patrol, in pursuit, search & rescue, surveilling, no matter what the night may bring. From gathering 

intelligence to recording evidence, see the details you need in the dark or shadows, from a 

safe distance. 

The Difference is Black and White 

In field tests, operators report significantly better degrees of detail, overall contrast, full moon similarity 

and range of shades with SuperVision. That’s because SuperVision provides more discriminating 

shades of intensity between black and white, resulting in better contrast and depth perception.
