About 1st Generation Night Vision:
Currently the most popular type of night vision in the world, 1st Generation night vision amplifies the existing light several thousand times, allowing you to see clearly see in the dark. Generation 1 units provide a bright and sharp image at a lower cost, that works well for boating, observing wildlife, and/or providing security for your home. You may notice the following when you are looking through a 1st Generation Night Vision unit: a slight high-pitched whine when the unit is on; geometric distortion, which causes the image to be slightly blurry around the edges; a green glow when you turn the Night Vision off. These are normal, inherent characteristics of a 1st Generation Night Vision.
