Appendix: Rifle Scopes and Lens Coatings The Bestguarder system functions, in night vision mode, with the use of infra-red light. The infrared light is emitted from the front of the LCD screen & illuminator module. In darkness the Bestguarder system relies on the camera module receiving as much infra-red light through the scope as possible. Some scope manufacturers have a coating that reduces infra-red light passing through the scope optic.
