VIVI NB-1800 Day & Night Digital Telescope with 1080P Camera
VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope is a day-and-night observation instrument that pairs 10-40x magnification with a full digital imaging and recording system. Its CMOS sensor delivers 1080P photos and video to the built-in 720P LCOS display, so what you observe is captured and documented in the same moment — no phone adapter, no digiscoping bracket, no missed sightings.
Product Description
The VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope is a day-and-night observation instrument that pairs 10-40x magnification with a full digital imaging and recording system. Its CMOS sensor delivers 1080P photos and video to the built-in 720P LCOS display, so what you observe is captured and documented in the same moment — no phone adapter, no digiscoping bracket, no missed sightings.
The NB-1800 is the only instrument in the VIVI lineup with true night vision. Its sensor sensitivity of 1×10⁻⁴ lux allows the scope to keep producing a usable image in darkness, and three viewing modes — color, black-and-white and night vision — adapt the display to any light condition from full daylight to night observation.
Around the imaging core sits a complete field toolkit: built-in GPS positioning, WiFi wireless transmission, an electronic compass and HDMI output, plus support for 1-128GB high-speed storage cards. Power comes from three CR123 lithium batteries or USB-5V, delivering 4-6 hours of continuous operation across a -20°C to +50°C working range, in a rugged 820g body with optional IP65/IP67 waterproof protection.
True Day & Night Capability
Three viewing modes — color for daylight, black-and-white for enhanced contrast, and night vision built on 1×10⁻⁴ lux sensor sensitivity — keep the NB-1800 working from sunrise to long after dark.
1080P Photo and Video Recording
Capture 1080P photos and video directly through the instrument to 1-128GB high-speed memory cards, turning every observation session into a documented record.
GPS, WiFi, Compass and HDMI
Built-in GPS tags your position, WiFi transfers footage wirelessly, the electronic compass keeps you oriented, and HDMI output connects the scope to external displays.
Why Choose the VIVI NB-1800?
Choose the VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope when observation and documentation must happen together, day or night. It is the only VIVI instrument with genuine night vision — the 1×10⁻⁴ lux sensor keeps working in conditions where optical-only scopes go dark — and its 1080P recording, GPS positioning, WiFi transmission and 1-128GB storage make it a complete observation-and-evidence platform for patrol, survey and research work in a single 820g device.
Traditional optical instruments still have their place: the VIVI BD82ED WiFi digital spotting scope (and its optical sibling, the VIVI 20-60x82ED) delivers the purest optical image quality through 82mm double ED glass, ideal when image fidelity at the eyepiece is the goal. The NB-1800 trades some of that optical purity for round-the-clock capability — three day/night viewing modes, onboard recording, navigation data and all-weather operation from -20°C to +50°C.
In short: if your work or passion continues after dark and needs to be recorded, the NB-1800 is the instrument built for it.

Application Areas
Day and Night Wildlife Observation
Night vision mode and 1×10⁻⁴ lux sensitivity open the hours when wildlife is most active, while 1080P recording captures behavior studies without a separate camera.
Security Patrol and Surveillance
Optional IP65/IP67 protection, GPS positioning and onboard recording make the NB-1800 a complete patrol tool: observe, document and geo-reference activity day or night.
Target Observation
The 10-40x zoom range supports detailed digital target observation, with photos and video that record exactly what was seen for later review.
Outdoor Tourism and Adventure
GPS, WiFi and photo/video functions let travelers document and share adventures, and the 4-6 hour battery life covers a full day’s excursion.
Forestry and Field Surveys
Long-range digital viewing plus recording and compass data support forest and land surveys, with storage up to 128GB for extended fieldwork.
Industrial and Utility Inspection
The HDMI output supports on-site playback and reporting, while 820g total weight keeps long inspection rounds manageable across a -20°C to +50°C working range.
Night Search and Rescue Operations
True night vision, GPS positioning and rugged construction support observation and documentation during low-light and night-time operations.

FAQ
Is the VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope waterproof?
Waterproof protection is available as an option, with IP65 or IP67 ratings offered depending on configuration, alongside an operating range of -20°C to +50°C and 5%-95% humidity tolerance.
What is the field of view of the VIVI NB-1800?
The optical viewing range is ±5°. Because this is a digital instrument, the on-screen field of view also depends on the 10-40x zoom setting in use; full field-of-view figures are pending factory confirmation.
Can the VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope be mounted on a tripod?
Yes. The NB-1800 uses a camera holder mounting method, so it attaches to standard camera supports for stable, hands-free observation and recording.
How much does the VIVI NB-1800 digital telescope weigh?
The instrument weighs 820g (0.82kg) — substantial enough for stable handheld use yet manageable for extended day and night field sessions.
How does the night vision on the VIVI NB-1800 work?
The NB-1800 is a true digital night vision instrument: its CMOS sensor has a sensitivity of 1×10⁻⁴ lux, allowing it to form a usable image in near-darkness. You switch between color, black-and-white and night vision modes depending on light conditions.
How long does the VIVI NB-1800 run on a battery, and how is it powered?
Continuous operating time is 4-6 hours. Power comes from three CR123 lithium batteries (1500-2500mAh class) or a USB-5V supply, with power consumption under 1.35W when WiFi is off.
How much storage does the VIVI NB-1800 support?
It supports high-speed memory cards from 1GB to 128GB, providing enough capacity for extended 1080P photo and video recording in the field.
What is the difference between the VIVI NB-1800 and the VIVI BD82ED?
The VIVI NB-1800 is a self-contained day-and-night digital telescope with true night vision (1×10⁻⁴ lux sensitivity), 1080P recording, GPS, WiFi, an electronic compass and HDMI. The VIVI BD82ED WiFi digital spotting scope is an 82mm double ED optical platform with a 5MP electronic eyepiece for group viewing — the choice when you want premium pure-optical image quality with digital sharing rather than standalone day/night recording capability.
