The article presents the results of an experimental study of the possibilities of using digital night vision binoculars with a Bushnell video recorder, centrally supplied as part of Berkut special set for search, with the necessary technical support for an operational-search activity «observation» in conditions of insufficient illumination and complete darkness. In the course of the research, visual photographic images of objects of observation at a distance of 20–40 meters from the observer were obtained under various lighting scenes, including complete darkness, a dim point light source, and a bright backlight source of scattered light. As a result of the work carried out, the principles and modes of operation of the presented model of a night-vision device are described. Recommendations are formulated for its use in the implemen tation of photographic and video recording in the course of the operational-search action «observation » in conditions of insufficient illumination. The proposed solutions will allow operatives of the penal system of the Russian Federation to increase their efficiency and achieve additional positive results in the use of modern digital technical means of operational surveillance in their official activities. Key words: night-vision device, observation conditions, object of observation, operationalsearch action, operational officer.
