Dark30 Defiance 640 PTZ Vehicle-Mounted Thermal Camera
Never lose a target again with the Dark30 Defiance 640 PTZ Thermal Camera. The high-resolution thermal camera attaches to your vehicle and links to a 10″ screen inside allowing you to scan for targets from the comfort of your vehicle.
The Dark 30 Defiance is an innovative PTZ vehicle-mounted thermal camera for mobile scouting. Eliminate the need for handheld observation and overcome the limitations of thermal-blocking windshield and window glass with this roof-mounted camera, providing a full 360° scan from an elevated vantage point.
Mounted atop your vehicle, the Defiance offers a broader, clearer view compared to handheld or gun-mounted scanning. Its versatile mounting options—magnets, suction cups, or direct screws—ensure compatibility with any vehicle, with all hardware included. The 360-degree rotation and integrated directional indicator make it effortless to track and pinpoint targets.
Utilize the wired screen for solo hunts or the Dark 30 app for dual viewing in larger groups. Adjust panning speeds for fast-moving hogs in open fields or slow, meticulous scanning in dense woods, maintaining unparalleled clarity on-the-move. Built to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the Defiance features a rugged design and a Lynred sensor for exceptional image quality.
The Defiance integrates seamlessly into your hunting setup, powered through your vehicle’s 12v cigarette lighter and controlled via the app. Water-resistant and durable, it is perfect for wildlife monitoring, law enforcement thermal observation, border patrol, solar panel inspection, and hog hunting.

Versatile Thermal Palettes
The Dark 30 Defiance PTZ gives you the flexibility to tailor your camera’s display to the mission at hand.

Setting up and tearing down is a breeze, allowing you to stay focused on the mission.
Modular Mounting Options
Whether you want a camera you can take down at the end of the evening or a more permanent solution, the Dark 30 Defiance has you covered.
