As the meme says, “Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Then, always be Batman.” Those really are words to live by. The NV300 Max will help you be one step closer to the Dark Knight by allowing you to see in a spectrum other than visible light. I have driven a lot of cars with night vision and all of them struggled with integration. This one is no different, but the fact this works on any car has pros and cons. Some are more polarizing than others.

I want to make it perfectly clear that I am testing a pre-production unit. By the time this gets published, the Kickstarter program will be in full swing. I’ve reviewed countless pre-production cars in my career with mixed results. Some were nearly production-ready and if I wouldn’t have been told, I wouldn’t have known they weren’t production versions. Others were so pre-production, they were jettisoning trim pieces while being driven and whole systems didn’t work. This seems fairly close to production, although given my experience with anything computerized, I know software updates are a continuous thing over any product’s lifespan and I’m sure this is no different.

This is the best automotive thermal imaging system I have ever used. It’s also the most affordable (I’ve used) with a normal list price of $649.00, but if you get it on Kickstarter, it’s only $399.00. In the luxury cars I’ve driven with integrated systems, it’s normally a $2,000 or so option. It picks up pedestrians, cyclists, and animals. It can even distinguish between them quite accurately. The NV300 Max thermal camera also provides warnings for forward collisions and has the ability to track other vehicles in front of you. It records footage and will autosave what it considered important if you don’t do it yourself. It works as a dashcam, but is more about the real-time use case.
