best video camera for recording at night image
J
I was wondering if there is a video camera that records digitally but also can record IR and night vision simultaneously -- that is, if I look at this camera's viewing screen, I can switch from digital, to IR, or to night vision at the flip of a switch.
Also, could this camera switch through these settings at will when previewing a recording?
So if I'm previewing a recording in night vision, can I flip a switch to IR and see the same recording in a different setting?
Answer
You'll have enough trouble finding a camera that can shoot in both visible light and "night vision" (near infrared—just outside of human vision, but not able to be felt as heat).
Thermal cameras (those that can see heat) are typically purpose-built, since they require different sensors:

Considering all the expensive-sounding materials used for the sensor alone, it is safe to say that any camera that could take video of all three EMR regions would be too costly for regular people.

how well can u use a scope with night vision?
Q. Say i have night vision goggles. Can i look through a non night vision rifle scope with my goggles on and see a magnified image in night vision?
Ive seen it happen with video cameras. a guy put his night vision over his video camera and recorded in night vision. however he was in the military and was using high quality night vision.
Also what generation would you suggest for hunting? 1? 2?
i can only really afford 1 or 2.

Yes it has been done but remember a camera especially newer digital ones have a wider spectrum of vision than the naked eye and if you are serious about hunting or using a rifle in the dark you really should consider using a proper night vision scope.
If you try to improvise by using night goggles with an existing scope at night you run into all sorts of issues, judging distances inaccurately being one of them which in turn could be a hindrance on your personal safety not to mention others.
Make sure you use the correct tool for the job it just makes sense that way. There are many manufacturers that make night vision hunting scopes in all prices ranges.
ATN, Tasco, Bushnell, Yukon and Nightowl are all worth checking out.
Good Luck
