Our eyes see reflected light. Daylight cameras, night vision devices and the human eye all work on the same basic principle: visible light energy hits surfaces and bounces off of it, a detector then receives it and turns it into an image.

Night vision works by amplifying visible light in the immediate vicinity. Thermal imaging uses infrared sensors to detect temperature differences between objects in their line of sight. Night vision enlarges the light in a scene and converts it to green-tinted or white-tinted images, depending on the phosphor used inside the
