PARD BO6-35/LRF Bobcat 640 LRF Thermal Monocular Black 2.6x35mm, 640x512, 12 Microns, 50 Hz Resolution, Zoom Digital 2x/4x/6x/8x

The PARD BO6-35/LRF Bobcat 640 LRF thermal monocular is a lightweight, handheld thermal imaging device built for hunters, search and rescue teams, and field operators who need reliable heat detection in low-light or no-light conditions. This compact monocular pairs a 640×512 uncooled sensor with a 35mm objective lens and 2.6× magnification to deliver clear thermal imagery across a wide field of view—ideal for glassing terrain, locating game, or conducting night operations without fatigue from holding heavy glass.

The Bobcat 640 uses a vanadium oxide (VOx) sensor with 12-micron pixel size and 18mK sensitivity, meaning it picks up even subtle thermal differences in the environment. The 50 Hz frame rate keeps the image fluid and responsive. Display is handled by a 1920×1080 OLED screen, which offers sharper contrast and better brightness than older LCD technology. Digital zoom extends your reach with 2×, 4×, 6×, and 8× magnification steps, letting you dial in distant subjects without losing image quality.

Built for real-world use, the monocular weighs just 405 grams and measures 170×70×43mm—easily stowed in a pack or held steady for extended periods. The housing is AL6061 aluminum and composite material, with all-glass multi-coated optics. An integrated laser rangefinder reaches out to 1,000 meters, compass, and configurable image modes (WT-HOT, BK-HOT, H-light, RD-HOT, IN-HOT, SKY) give you tools to adapt to different conditions. Recording features include photo (1440×1080 JPG) and video (1440×1080 MP4) capture with audio, time stamps, and loop recording to a microSD card (up to 128GB). WiFi and USB Type-C connectivity let you review footage and update firmware via the PardVision2 app. Runs on a single 18650 Li-ion battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the laser rangefinder range on the PARD Bobcat 640?

The integrated laser rangefinder has a maximum range of 1,000 meters, allowing you to measure distance to thermal targets in the field.

Can I record video with this thermal monocular?

Yes. The Bobcat 640 records video at 1440×1080 resolution in MP4 format, with optional audio recording, time stamps, and loop recording capability. Photos are captured as 1440×1080 JPG files. All files are stored on a microSD card (up to 128GB).

How do I view and transfer footage from the monocular?

The monocular connects via WiFi and USB Type-C. You can use the PardVision2 app to review footage, manage files, and update firmware remotely.

Is the PARD Bobcat 640 suitable for hunting in complete darkness?

Yes. As a thermal imaging device, it detects heat signatures rather than visible light, making it fully functional in complete darkness, fog, and low-visibility conditions where conventional optics fail.

What power source does the Bobcat 640 use?

The monocular runs on a single Li-ion 18650 battery (3.7V nominal). You can also supply external power via the USB Type-C connection.
