So it sounds like “maybe” if you add IR illumination you can see in the dark with these?

There’s already hand held IR detectors you can look thru to see IR signals and illumination. Burglars use them to get past IR security devices. Shows where the IR trip beams and IR camera illumination is.

You will have to try it, it will blow you away. It sees through it like daylight. It is almost like x-ray vision and removes the dark tint from the equation. My LE son in law taught me that one. Apparently it is used by first responders to look inside cars for victims, the dark tint will not let them see through it but the camera right up against the window will remove the tint and let you see surprisingly well inside.

But, it's OK if I still use them, right?
