The 4.5x40 Equinox Z2 Night Digital Vision Monocular from Bushnell uses an infrared (IR)-sensitive CMOS sensor and a micro LCD screen, instead of a conventional intensifier tube, for its night vision capabilities. A built-in IR illuminator provides an effective night vision range of up to 300 yards. The Z2 records video at 1080p HD resolution and can upload images and videos quickly to a smartphone, tablet, or computer using Wi-Fi and a free app.

A side rail enables accessories, like another illuminator, to be attached directly to the monocular. The screen displays colour images during the day, and black and white when the night vision is on for great clarity and contrast. Enhancing the optical 4.5x magnification is a digital zoom to provide up to 13.5x magnification. A USB port and an RCA video-out port allow an external monitor or recording device to be attached to view and/or record the live feed.
