Bats don’t move slowly, and your night vision shouldn’t either. Nightfox Nova’s 60 frames-per-second sensor and display delivers smooth, real-time motion clarity, making it easier to track fast, unpredictable flight paths.
With a 55° field of view (or 70° with the detachable wide-angle lens), Nova allows you to monitor a broader section of building, woodland edge or hedgerow without constantly repositioning.
The integrated tripod thread provides stable, hands-free observation during emergence surveys or fixed monitoring points. HDMI output allows connection to an external field monitor or TV.
Built for damp evenings, light rain and dusty environments, Nova’s IP54 rating ensures dependable performance during real-world ecological fieldwork.
With up to 140m viewing distance and 3x digital magnification, Nova is optimised for clear, immersive observation within typical bat survey distances rather than extreme-range zoom.
With Nova's pre-installed 64GB TF card, record over three hours of AVI video. Select either 1080p @ 30fps or 720p @ 60fps on the Settings menu. Increase the recording time by using your own TF card, up to a maximum of 256GB.
Powered by two high-capacity 3500mAh 18650 batteries, Nova is designed for extended evening surveys. For even longer operating time, the LCD display can be turned off using the dedicated screen on/off button.

Yes. Nova features 720p HDMI output, allowing connection to a monitor or external display for shared viewing. The Nova is compatible with the NEEWER F100 field monitor but not the F700 version. The Nova can connect to basic field or PC monitors but not to phone screens or tablets.
The Nightfox Nova has a night-time viewing distance of up to 140 metres (460 ft). This makes it suitable for typical wildlife observation and bat survey distances without relying on excessive digital zoom.
