EOTECH MonoNV – Gen 3 White Phosphor Night Vision Monocular

A PVS-14-class monocular that moves between roles

EOTECH describes the MonoNV as comparable in performance and design to the AN/PVS-14. The optic is collimated, so one unit can be handheld, mounted on a helmet or mounted on a weapon. It includes a quick-release dovetail mount compatible with Wilcox G24 mounting systems. The mount works ambidextrously, so the monocular can sit in front of either eye to match the operator’s dominant eye.

Why white phosphor

A white phosphor tube renders the scene in black and white instead of the traditional green. EOTECH credits the MonoNV’s tube with clearer contrast and a more natural visual experience, along with long target detection and recognition range. A single AA cell keeps spare power simple to carry on long low-light shifts. For public agencies, FarrWest is a pre-approved vendor on BuyBoard and the Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA).

Frequently asked questions

How does the EOTECH MonoNV compare to a PVS-14?

EOTECH describes the MonoNV as comparable in performance and design to the AN/PVS-14. Like that monocular, it can be used handheld, on a helmet or on a weapon. The MonoNV uses an ESA Gen III white phosphor tube with a 2376 minimum FOM, a 40° field of view and a single AA battery, and it is built to MIL-STD-810G.

What helmet mount works with the EOTECH MonoNV?

The MonoNV includes a quick-release dovetail mount that is compatible with Wilcox G24 mounting systems. The mount supports ambidextrous operation, so the monocular can be positioned over the left or the right eye depending on which eye is dominant.

Is the EOTECH MonoNV waterproof?

EOTECH rates the MonoNV as water resistant to 3 ft (1 m) for 1 hour, and the housing is built to MIL-STD-810G environmental standards. That covers rain and accidental immersion in shallow water, but the rating is stated as water resistant rather than fully waterproof.
