PARD is a Chinese night vision and thermal imaging optics brand headquartered in Shenzhen, founded in 2017, which quickly established itself as one of the leading manufacturers of digital night vision and thermal devices for hunting and outdoor markets. The brand name derives from the English word for leopard, and nearly every model in the PARD lineup carries a predator name: Ocelot, Bobcat, Pantera, Sphinx. The company's philosophy is straightforward: advanced thermal and night vision technology should be accessible not only to military users and well-funded professionals, but to every hunter and outdoor enthusiast.
History and Market Position
PARD entered a market segment that had long been dominated by established European and American brands. The Chinese manufacturer set out to deliver technology on par with the recognized players, but at significantly more accessible price points. The strategy paid off — the brand earned thousands of loyal users among hunters, wildlife observers, and outdoor enthusiasts who, for the first time, could realistically afford a digital night vision or thermal device. Today, PARD maintains sales offices and distribution warehouses across Europe and North America, serving a global network of trade partners.
Technology and Product Lines
PARD specializes in two core categories: digital night vision devices and thermal imaging devices. The NV007 clip-on series — night vision attachments that mount in front of a standard daytime scope — is the product that drove the brand's first wave of popularity: compact, affordable clip-ons that give any daytime riflescope a second life without requiring a full optical system swap. Successive generations have brought higher-resolution sensors, integrated laser rangefinders, and improved image processing algorithms. In the thermal segment, the brand offers thermal binoculars, monoculars, thermal clip-ons, and complete thermal riflescopes with rangefinders, such as the Pantera and Ocelot. The Landsat-C multi-spectral series combines night vision and thermal imaging technology in a single unit.
Specifications and Capabilities
PARD night vision scopes offer resolutions ranging from 1920×1080 up to 3840×2160 (4K) and magnifications from 3× to 5.5×. Observation modes, video recording, and Wi-Fi streaming to a mobile app allow users to document observations and manage device settings. Thermal imaging in the PARD lineup is based on detectors with resolutions from 256×192 up to 640×480 pixels and pixel pitch of 12 or 17 microns. Detection ranges for large targets extend from 300 to over 1,000 meters depending on the model and atmospheric conditions. Many models feature an integrated laser rangefinder and video recorder.
Who PARD Is For
PARD equipment is aimed primarily at hunters looking for night vision and thermal devices for wild boar and predator hunting after dark and at dusk, at wildlife observers and nature photographers documenting nocturnal animal activity, and at security and patrol personnel using thermal imaging for area surveillance. Accessible pricing combined with steadily improving technical quality makes PARD products a popular choice for both first-time buyers and experienced night optics users.
