Nocpix OMNI H35R Multispectral Binocular

Thermal imaging, 8K night vision and laser ranging in one binocular

The Nocpix OMNI H35R lets you spot body heat across a field with the thermal channel, which works in daylight and complete darkness without an illuminator. You can then switch to the 8K digital channel to check visible detail such as shape and markings when daylight, twilight or suitable infrared illumination allows, and measure the distance with the built-in laser rangefinder, all without changing equipment.

The H35R uses a 640 × 512 thermal sensor and a separate 8192 × 6144 digital sensor. Each channel has its own lens and magnification range, giving you two ways to observe the same area.

Thermal imaging helps you locate animals in darkness, while the digital channel lets you examine visible features when there is enough natural or infrared light. This combination makes the H35R a useful choice for wildlife observation, deer management, pest control and night-time surveying.

The binocular also includes a 1000m laser rangefinder, electronic image stabilisation and a replaceable battery system.

Nocpix OMNI H35R specifications

Nocpix publishes the technical details for the OMNI range on its official product page. The detection range and battery runtime represent manufacturer figures, so actual performance will vary with conditions and use.

What’s in the UK box

The UK OMNI H35R binocular comes with the following accessories.

• 1 × NBC-1 battery charger
• 4 × IRB-2 rechargeable batteries
• 1 × 940 nm IR illuminator
• 1 × carrying bag
• 1 × shoulder strap/harness

Thermal imaging and 8K digital night vision

8K refers to the 8192 × 6144 resolution of the digital sensor. You view both channels on a 1600 × 1200 AMOLED display. Each channel has its own focus dial, so you can set thermal and digital focus independently.

640 × 512 thermal imaging

The H35R uses a 640 × 512 thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch and a 35mm F0.9 objective lens.

Its NETD rating of ≤15mK helps the sensor distinguish small temperature differences. This matters when an animal has little thermal contrast against the ground or vegetation around it.

The thermal channel detects heat rather than reflected light, so you can scan in complete darkness without an infrared illuminator. It also helps locate warm subjects in difficult lighting, although dense vegetation and solid obstacles can still block the view.

A 50Hz refresh rate keeps the image smooth as you pan across a field or follow movement. You can also choose between seven thermal colour palettes to suit your viewing preference.

Thermal imaging works particularly well for locating a subject, but a heat signature alone may not reveal enough detail for positive identification.

8K digital day and night vision

The digital channel uses an 8192 × 6144 sensor and a 50mm F1.8 objective lens.

During daylight, it shows the landscape in a more familiar digital image. After dark, you can use infrared illumination to examine features that thermal imaging may not show clearly.

Nocpix includes three digital image modes:

• Daylight Mode: Adjusts the picture for brighter conditions.
• Twilight Mode: Helps balance light and dark areas as daylight fades.
• Low-Light Mode: Adjusts image processing when little natural light remains.

The OMNI supports interchangeable 850nm and 940nm infrared illuminators. An 850nm illuminator generally offers stronger illumination, while 940nm produces a less noticeable visible glow.

The best option depends on your viewing distance, conditions and how discreet you want the illuminator to be.

By combining thermal and digital imaging, the H35R lets you find a subject using heat and then examine its visible features through the digital channel.

Magnification, field of view and image stabilisation

The OMNI H35R has separate magnification ranges for its two imaging channels.

The thermal channel offers 2–16x magnification, while the digital channel offers 3–18x.

Start at the lower magnification when scanning a wide area. Once you locate something worth examining, increase the zoom for a closer view.

The H35R also allows zoom adjustments in 0.5x increments, so you can make smaller changes without jumping straight to a much higher magnification.

Digital zoom enlarges the image electronically. It makes a subject appear larger but cannot add detail that the sensor has not captured.

Electronic image stabilisation

Small hand movements become much more noticeable at higher magnification.

The H35R uses electronic image stabilisation (EIS) to reduce visible image movement and make handheld observation more comfortable.

This helps when following an animal or examining something at distance. For longer sessions from a fixed position, a tripod still offers the steadiest view.

Thermal detection and laser rangefinding

Nocpix rates the H35R’s thermal channel to detect a heat source at up to 1,800 m, based on a test target measuring 1.7 × 0.5 m. Detection means a heat signature may appear in the image at that distance. Recognising what the animal is requires more image detail and a shorter distance, and weather, vegetation and temperature contrast all affect what you see.

The integrated laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1000m, according to Nocpix’s specification.

These figures describe two different functions:

• Thermal detection — up to 1800m: Shows how far away a heat source may appear in the thermal image.
• Laser rangefinder — up to 1000m: Measures the distance to an observed object.

The rangefinder saves you from carrying a separate measuring device. You can locate a subject, check its distance and continue observing through the same binocular.

The H35R also supports ballistic calculation. Treat this as reference information and always verify any relevant settings and distances independently.

Battery life and everyday operation

Internal battery and replaceable 18650 cells

The OMNI H35R uses an internal rechargeable battery alongside two replaceable 18650 batteries.

The built-in battery charges through USB-C, and the two removable 18650 cells charge in a separate external charger. Nocpix quotes up to 7.5 hours of operation at 22 °C. Wi-Fi, recording, infrared illumination and cold weather can each reduce runtime, so carry charged spare cells for longer sessions.

You can carry spare 18650 cells for longer sessions rather than relying entirely on the internal battery.

The polarity-free battery compartment also makes battery changes easier in darkness because you don’t need to check the orientation of each cell.

Controls, comfort and tripod mounting

The H35R uses a scroll wheel and four-button control layout to give you quick access to its main functions.

Its binocular body provides a familiar two-eye viewing position, while the 25mm eye relief and 12mm exit pupil help make extended observation more comfortable.

The binocular also has a standard ¼”-20 UNC tripod connection.

Mounting it on a compatible tripod makes sense when you’re watching one area for a long period or using higher magnification.

Recording, storage and connectivity

The OMNI H35R lets you capture photographs and video directly through the binocular.

It includes 64GB of internal storage and a built-in microphone, so you can save footage with audio without connecting a separate recorder.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and N-Link support provide additional connectivity options. The available functions depend on your connected device, app and software version.

For operating instructions, see the Nocpix UK manuals. For firmware and update notes, visit the Nocpix OMNI support page.

Weather protection and outdoor use

Nocpix gives the H35R an IP67 protection rating and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C.

The housing helps protect the electronics against dust and water exposure during normal outdoor use.

You should still keep the lenses clean, protect the charging connections and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when changing batteries or cleaning the device.

The binocular measures approximately 198 × 144 × 75mm and weighs around 900g without the replaceable batteries.

OMNI H35R compared with OMNI L19R

Both models share the same 8192 × 6144 (8K) digital sensor and a laser rangefinder rated up to 1,000 m. Choose the H35R if you want more thermal detail and longer rated detection when scanning open ground. The L19R gives a slightly wider thermal view at base magnification, which can suit closer-range scanning. View the Nocpix OMNI L19R.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Nocpix OMNI H35R thermal or night vision?

It combines both technologies.

The H35R uses a 640 × 512 thermal sensor to locate heat sources and an 8K digital sensor for day and night observation.

You can switch between the two channels depending on the conditions and what you want to see.

Can I use the OMNI H35R in complete darkness?

Yes. The thermal channel works in complete darkness without an infrared illuminator.

For digital night vision in complete darkness, you need suitable infrared illumination. The OMNI supports interchangeable 850nm and 940nm IR options.

Can I see the thermal and digital views at the same time?

Yes. Picture-in-picture (PIP) shows the other channel in a separate inset, so you can keep the thermal view in sight while checking visible detail, or the other way round. How you switch between views can vary with firmware version, so check the Nocpix OMNI support page for current instructions.

Can I use the OMNI H35R through a window?

Ordinary glass blocks thermal imaging, so the thermal channel will not show heat sources on the other side of a closed window. The digital channel can show visible detail through glass when there is enough light, although infrared illumination may reflect off the pane and spoil the image. For thermal observation, open the window or step outside.

How far can the OMNI H35R detect animals?

Nocpix advertises thermal detection up to 1800m.

This means the binocular may detect a heat signature at that distance under suitable conditions. Identifying an animal generally requires more image detail and a shorter distance.

Weather, vegetation and temperature contrast all affect performance.

Does the OMNI H35R have a laser rangefinder?

Yes. The integrated laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1000m according to Nocpix’s specification.

You can check the distance to an observed subject without using a separate handheld rangefinder.
