ATN ThOR 5 320 3-12x
The ATN ThOR 5 320 3-12x is a 320×240, 12 µm thermal riflescope behind a 19 mm lens. On the Johnson yardstick that is an estimated 396 m detection and 99 m recognition range for a standing person; ATN quotes 2,010 m detection (human (ATN product page 2200 yd; ATN manual lists 750)). At 5.1× our estimate, its detection claim is the most generous in the catalog.

Box claim vs. what the optics support
One pixel of this unit sees 0.632 mrad (12 µm ÷ 19 mm). Two pixels across a 0.5 m human is 0.5 ÷ (2 × 0.632) × 1000 = 396 m. The box figure is usually computed against a person’s 1.8 m height instead, which is why it comes out higher. Full explanation.

Derived here
Estimated from pixel pitch and lens focal length using the Johnson criteria (2, 8 and 13 pixels across a 0.5 m human critical dimension), clear air, 50 % probability. A model of the optics, not a measurement — real range depends on temperature contrast, humidity and the animal.

What the spec sheet says
Read from the published specifications and this catalog’s own numbers — not from owner reports, which we have not collected for this unit.
- 12 µm pitch — the 19 mm lens sees what a 17 µm core would need 27 mm to match
- 60 Hz core — 20 % more frames than the 50 Hz norm when an animal runs
- Ballistic calculator (range has to be entered by hand — no rangefinder)
- 10 h published run time, 6th-longest of 64 here
- Records video and streams to a phone over Wi-Fi
- Warranty: 5 years
- NETD not published — sensitivity cannot be compared on paper
- Detection claim is 5.1× our Johnson estimate (2,010 m vs 396 m)
- Internal battery only — no field swap, carry a power bank
- No rangefinder — judging distance through a thermal is the hard part
- 320-class core — 2× less field of view than a 640 behind the same lens
- No IP rating published
