DNT Optics TNC635R ThermNight — Thermal & Night Vision Multi-Spectral Scope with Laser Rangefinder & Ballistic Calculator
The TNC635R ThermNight is the flagship of DNT Optics’ fusion scope range — a 640×512 thermal channel, the largest sensor in the ThermNight lineup, paired with a 1920×1080 Sony STARVIS 2 night vision channel that doubles as a genuine day/colour channel in good light. Switch between them with one button, or run Picture-in-Picture to see thermal detection and a clear digital image side by side. A 1,100-yard laser rangefinder, DNT’s ballistic engine with digital gyroscope, and one-shot zeroing on both channels round it out — built for hunters and shooters who want the sharpest possible thermal picture at genuine long range.

Key features
- Dual-sensor fusion: A 640×512 thermal channel (35mm lens, 1.5x base, 1.5–6x digital) alongside a 1920×1080 Sony STARVIS 2 channel (5x base, 5–20x digital) that works as both a night vision and a daylight/colour channel.
- The largest thermal sensor in the ThermNight range: Stepping up to 640×512 resolution gives a noticeably sharper, more detailed heat picture than the 225R and 335R, with a wider thermal field of view (12.52° × 10.02°) for scanning ground quickly before zooming in on what matters.
- Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode: View thermal detection and the clear digital channel in the same frame — spot the heat signature, then confirm what it is.
- Works day and night: The Sony STARVIS 2 channel delivers a genuine colour image in daylight as well as at night, so the same scope covers a still hunt at dusk and a follow-up look the next morning.
- Integrated laser rangefinder: Class 3R eye-safe, ranging out to 1,100 yards.
- Built-in ballistic calculator with digital gyroscope: DNT’s ballistic engine gives dial-in or holdover solutions, with cant and inclination correction from the onboard gyroscope.
- Thermal Zoom Lock: Keeps your zoom level consistent on the thermal channel as you switch magnification, so you don’t lose your target while adjusting.
- One-shot zeroing on both channels: Zero the thermal and night vision channels independently, each holding its own zero.
- 8 reticle styles in 5 colours: Pick the reticle and colour that stands out best against your background.
- 1920×1080 Micro-OLED display: Shared by both channels, at 60Hz.
- WiFi enabled with DNT app support: Stream, review and manage footage from your phone.
- Built-in 64GB memory: Onboard storage shared with the TNC335R, double the entry TNC225R.
- 800Gs shock rating and IP67 waterproofing: Built to handle heavy recoil and keep working through rain, dust and mud.
Built for long range
The TNC635R is the ThermNight to reach for when the shot is a long way out. The larger 640×512 sensor holds detail at distance that a lower-resolution thermal channel simply can’t resolve, and paired with the 1,100-yard rangefinder and gyroscope-corrected ballistic engine, it’s built around genuine precision shooting rather than just detection.
One scope, day into night
Most thermal/night vision combo scopes are still built around the dark. The TNC635R’s second channel is a genuine daylight-capable colour sensor as well as a low-light one, so you can glass a paddock in full colour in the afternoon, watch the light fade, and switch to thermal or PIP once it’s properly dark — all on the same scope, without swapping optics.
640×512 thermal, the sharpest yet
The thermal channel steps up again from the TNC335R’s 384×288 sensor to a full 640×512, with ≤18mK thermal sensitivity for the cleanest, most detailed heat picture in the ThermNight range.

Who it’s for
Built for hunters and long-range shooters who want the sharpest thermal picture DNT Optics currently offers, in one scope that still covers daylight glassing and full-colour night vision. The larger 640×512 sensor and wider thermal field of view make it the pick of the ThermNight range for identifying and engaging targets at real distance, without giving up the day-to-night versatility that runs through the whole lineup.

By far the best Multi Spectral scope on the market… Price is very reasonable for what you get in return. Money well spent!!!!
