NocPix ACE 2 H35R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The ACE 2 H35R uses a 640×512 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch.

This gives the scope substantially more native thermal detail than a 384×288 detector, helping preserve shape, outline and finer scene information before digital magnification is applied.

The H35R's sensor operates at 60Hz, providing smooth movement when scanning quickly or following moving animals through the thermal image. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="2"}

For the H35R, NocPix combines this detector with a relatively short 35mm objective lens. That pairing gives the scope its wide field of view and 2× starting magnification while retaining premium 640-resolution image quality.

One of the major upgrades introduced with ACE 2 is the ≤12mK NETD detector.

NETD describes how effectively a thermal sensor can distinguish very small differences in temperature. Lower values indicate greater sensitivity to subtle thermal variation.

This becomes particularly important during mild nights, damp weather, mist, fog or overcast conditions where the temperature difference between an animal and the surrounding landscape may be relatively small.

Compared with the ≤15mK sensitivity of the original ACE generation, ACE 2 is designed to retain more subtle thermal information in difficult conditions. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="3"}

The H35R uses a fast 35mm F0.9 germanium objective lens.

The F0.9 aperture allows a high level of infrared energy to reach the thermal detector, complementing the scope's highly sensitive ≤12mK sensor.

The shorter 35mm focal length gives the H35R a wider view than the 50mm H50R. This makes it particularly effective when scanning woodland edges, hedgerows, smaller fields and mixed ground where targets may appear at relatively short notice.

Objective Lens	35mm F0.9
Field of View	12.6° × 10.1°
Field of View at 100m	21.9 × 17.6m
Base Magnification	2×

These are NocPix's current official H35R specifications. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="4"}

The ACE 2 H35R provides a broad 2–28× magnification range.

The 2× starting magnification is one of the H35R's biggest advantages. It allows a large area to remain visible through the scope, helping the user locate heat sources quickly and retain awareness of surrounding animals and terrain.

Higher magnification can then be applied when a closer view of a detected heat source is required.

NocPix currently lists the H35R at 2–28× on its official ACE 2 product page. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="5"}

ACE 2 incorporates NocPix's Ocular Hybrid Zoom system rather than relying solely on conventional digital magnification.

The system combines eyepiece-based viewing adjustment with digital zoom to provide greater flexibility in how the thermal image is viewed.

NocPix also confirms that Hybrid Zoom can be disabled through the Custom menu if the user prefers to operate the scope using digital zoom only. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="6"}

ACE 2 introduces NocPix's upgraded R+ 2.0 image-processing system.

The processing works alongside the high-sensitivity detector to improve scene presentation, thermal contrast and fine detail.

This is especially valuable when viewing complex backgrounds such as woodland, grass, vegetation and uneven ground, where retaining scene structure makes the thermal image easier to interpret.

The quality of a thermal scope is determined by more than sensor resolution alone. Detector sensitivity, objective-lens aperture, processing and viewing system all influence the final image seen through the eyepiece.

The ACE 2 H35R incorporates an integrated laser rangefinder directly into the thermal riflescope.

This allows distance information to be obtained through the same optic used for thermal observation rather than requiring a separate handheld rangefinder.

Accurate distance measurement is particularly useful through thermal imaging because darkness removes many of the normal visual reference points used to judge range.

The rangefinder also works alongside ACE 2's ballistic-calculation system to provide integrated range-based aiming assistance.

ACE 2 combines its integrated laser rangefinder with built-in ballistic calculation.

Once the relevant ballistic information has been configured, measured range data can be incorporated into the ballistic calculation and corresponding aiming information presented through the display.

This combines thermal observation, distance measurement and ballistic assistance within one optic.

Ballistic calculation remains an aiming aid and does not replace correct zeroing, verified ballistic data, positive target identification or safe shooting practices.

ACE 2 uses a redesigned eyepiece system with 60mm of eye relief and a large 10mm exit pupil.

The longer eye relief creates additional space between the user's eye and the eyepiece, while the larger exit pupil makes the viewing position more forgiving.

This means the thermal image remains easier to acquire without requiring the shooter's eye to be positioned within an extremely narrow viewing point.

Eye Relief	60mm
Exit Pupil	10mm

The NocPix ACE 2 H35R uses a dual-power system combining the scope's onboard rechargeable power source with a replaceable rechargeable 18650 battery.

Two rechargeable 18650 batteries are included in the box, together with a dedicated 18650 battery charger. This means a charged spare can be carried in the field and swapped in when required.

NocPix has designed the external battery compartment with reverse-polarity support. The 18650 battery can be fitted without needing to identify the positive and negative end first. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="7"}

Power System	Dual power supply
Replaceable Battery	Rechargeable 18650 Li-ion
18650 Batteries Included	2
Battery Charger Included	Yes
Battery Polarity	Either orientation supported
Maximum Stated Runtime	Up to approximately 8 hours under specified conditions
External Connection	USB Type-C

Actual runtime varies with ambient temperature and use of functions such as Wi-Fi, video recording, display settings and other power-intensive features.

ACE 2 introduces faster 5G Wi-Fi connectivity for compatible app and media functions.

The scope supports onboard thermal photography and video recording, allowing important observations to be captured without requiring a separate recording device.

Recoil Activated Video can automatically preserve footage associated with a shot, reducing the need to manually start recording in advance.

Wireless connectivity also allows compatible NocPix app functions to be used for supported device management and media handling.

ACE 2 uses a lightweight magnesium-alloy body designed to reduce overall scope weight without sacrificing strength.

NocPix rates the ACE 2 platform for recoil energy up to 7,000 joules.

The manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility with .308 Win and .338 Lapua within the product's rated limits, and also confirms that ACE 2 can be mounted on an air rifle. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="8"}

The H35R and H50R use the same 640×512, 12μm, ≤12mK ACE 2 detector and both operate at 60Hz. The main difference is the objective lens and resulting field of view.

ACE 2 H35R	35mm F0.9 | 2–28× | 12.6° × 10.1° | 21.9 × 17.6m @100m
ACE 2 H50R	50mm F0.9 | 3–24× | 8.8° × 7.0° | 15.4 × 12.3m @100m

These current specifications are published by NocPix for the ACE 2 range. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="9"}

The S60R is the flagship ACE 2 model and moves from the H35R's 640×512 detector to a much larger 1280×1024 thermal sensor.

ACE 2 H35R	640×512 | ≤12mK | 35mm F0.9 | 60Hz | 2–28× | 21.9m horizontal FOV @100m
ACE 2 S60R	1280×1024 | ≤12mK | 60mm F1.0 | 30/60Hz | 2–20× | 25.6m horizontal FOV @100m

The S60R contains approximately four times as many thermal pixels as the H35R. Its unusually large sensor also allows the 60mm lens to retain an exceptionally wide field of view. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="10"}

ACE 2 is a genuine generational update to the original ACE platform rather than a cosmetic redesign.

Key ACE 2 improvements include:

• ≤12mK thermal detector sensitivity
• R+ 2.0 image processing
• Ocular Hybrid Zoom
• Updated integrated laser rangefinding
• Updated ballistic calculation
• 60mm eye relief
• Larger 10mm exit pupil
• 5G Wi-Fi connectivity
• Lightweight magnesium-alloy construction
• Recoil resistance increased to 7,000J

The H35R also adds a true wide-field 640-resolution option to the ACE family, combining the 640×512 detector with a 35mm F0.9 objective and 2× base magnification.

ACE 2 H35R — the wide-field 640 model. Its 35mm F0.9 lens, 2× starting magnification and 21.9m horizontal field of view at 100m make it particularly suitable for woodland, mixed ground and faster scanning.

ACE 2 H50R — the distance-focused 640 model. It retains the same 640×512, ≤12mK detector but moves to a 50mm F0.9 lens, 3× starting magnification and narrower field of view.

ACE 2 S60R — the flagship model. Its 1280×1024 sensor captures approximately four times as many thermal pixels as the H-series models and combines this with a 60mm F1.0 lens while still retaining a very wide field of view.

The choice should therefore be based on typical viewing distance and required field of view rather than simply choosing the most expensive model.
