Pulsar Alaris XQ30 thermal monocular
Small but mighty
The Alaris series features two of Pulsar Wildlife’s smallest thermal imaging monoculars, but their size is by no means an indication of their performance. Each device in the series will offer an incredibly powerful thermal performance.
The compact footprint of each device allows for easy storage in a pocket or binocular harness when not in use, making the Alaris series the ideal choice for keen nature observers looking for a device to complement their day binoculars.
Small but mighty, both models feature a robust magnesium alloy construction, enduring harsh weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and heavy use — all without impeding its performance.
Which Model Should You Choose?
- The Alaris XQ30 features the highest level of thermal sensitivity thanks to its <20 mK sNETD rating, making it perfect for use in any weather conditions.
- The Alaris XG30 offers a wide 14.6° field of view and a larger digital magnification range, making it ideal for detection without excessive searching and scanning, as well as close-up observation.

The Alaris XG30 may be compact and lightweight, but don’t let its size fool you — with a sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40 NETD European-made Lynred thermal sensor and a powerful 30mm f1.2 germanium objective lens, this thermal imaging monocular will reveal even the smallest heat source, in crystal-clear detail, at distances reaching up to 1300 metres.
PULSAR ALARIS XQ30 (this page)
The Alaris XQ30 thermal imaging monocular features a 384×288, 17µm, <25mK NETD thermal sensor achieving an enhanced performance at a price point designed to provide accessible thermal imaging — effortlessly spotting even the smallest heat signature at a range of up to 1050m.
European-made thermal sensors
Ideal for searching and scanning, both models in the Alaris series features a European-made thermal sensor, achieving exceptional image clarity and a powerful performance that belies their compact footprint.
- The Alaris XG30‘s 640×480, 12µm thermal sensor will provide impressive levels of image detail, making it perfect for identification.
- The Alaris XQ30‘s 384×288, 17µm sensor achieves excellent thermal sensitivity, making it ideal for use in all weather conditions.
Sensitivity amplification levels and advanced image processing algorithms
The Alaris series offers 3 sensitivity amplification levels, which, in conjunction with Pulsar’s advanced filtration algorithms and fine brightness and contrast adjustments, allow for optimised rendering of an observed object and the background behind them. These sensitivity settings and image processing algorithms will allow for quick adjustment to varying weather conditions, increasing the likelihood of early detection in ever-changing scenarios.
Fits perfectly in any pocket or pack
Compact by name, compact by nature — each device has been designed to remain comfortable in the hand over long periods of observation, whilst being small enough to fit easily into a pocket or pack when not in use.
Their ergonomically designed bodyshells feature a convenient four button arrangement across the top of the device, where the fingers would naturally rest, making it perfect for use by both left- and right-handed users. These buttons control the most commonly used digital functions, enabling easy operation — even in darkness.
Simplified searching and scanning with wide FOVs
Each model in the Alaris series offers a wide field of view, making them perfect for object detection without the need for excessive searching and scanning. These wide FOVs open up the observation area, achieving better situational awareness and allowing for inspection of objects whilst keeping the full scene in view.
Alaris XG30: 25.6 m @ 100 m
Alaris XQ30: 23.3 m @ 100 m
Up to 8 hours of battery life
Each device in the Alaris range uses a replaceable and rechargeable APS3 battery, offering up to 8 hours battery life on a single charge (depending on model and temperature), providing more than enough power to keep your observations going through the day and into the night.
Plus, with USB type-C fast charging available, when your battery has depleted, you can have it back up to power and ready to use in next to no time. The provided battery can be charged using the Pulsar battery charger, household power, or via USB.
The Alaris series also features:

Taking Thermal & Night Vision Outside of the UK.
Thermal imaging and night vision products are strictly controlled by ITAR regulations and are subject to UK Government Export Licensing Regulations. Dependent on specification, a licence may need to be obtained prior to the export, even temporarily (e.g. holiday), from the UK.
Additionally, some countries may be embargoed, and no thermal imagers or night vision devices can be taken or exported to them. It is the responsibility of the exporter, whether it be a company or individual, to ensure that such a licence is obtained.
Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
