Can night vision binoculars see through tinted windows?
eskie lover asked:
I am specifically asking about the type issued to the military and law enforcement. The type of tinted windows I have are designed to reflect the heat from outdoors so that it doesn’t get so hot inside. Since this type of binocular picks up and “sees” the heat coming from living beings and the windows reflect it back outside, would night vision goggles be able to see inside my home?

Yes, they can but in a car where air-conditioning is being used they would appear cloudy.

Yes they would be able too. However if the police or military need to look into your home more than likely they will use FLIR ( Forward Looking Infrared ) or Thermal Imaging. If you’re not doing anythign wrong you have nothing to worry about.

Possibly (you seem to be referring ti both night vision and infra-red or heat vision), however infra-red can see through wall, so if your windows are opaque they can still see you through the walls, not to mention DARPA is working on a device that detects heartbeats. Which means they probably already have it and could use two of them to triangulate a sniper shot to hit a heart through a wall.
Well, sleep tight.

Night Vision Goggles use inferred light to see in the dark not heat so if the inferred light is reflected by your window they will not be able to see.

I will answer your question with another, what exactly are you hoping they don’t see?
