Zoom reaches 10x, past what the wide-frame H315R offers, which suits deciding what a heat signature belongs to rather than sweeping ground to find one. Ranging and ballistic solutions are built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 25 mm lens and 2.5x base magnification define the DNT HOUND H325R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLens size is what separates the H325R from its sibling. A 25 mm objective starts the view at 2.5x against the 1.5x on the 15 mm H315R, putting more of the sensor on whatever sits at the centre of the frame. Both use the same 384×288 sensor, so this is an optical difference rather than a sensor-class step.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTighter framing on the H325R suits confirming over searching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eField of view measures 18.4 by 13.8 yards at 100 yards, against 30.7 by 23.0 on the H315R. Less ground in frame is the direct cost of more magnification, and it is a fair trade when the work is deciding what an animal is rather than finding one. Hunters who sweep large fields will cover ground faster through the wider model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDigital zoom carries the H325R to 10x with ISR behind it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoom runs from the 2.5x base out to 10x, a longer reach than the 6x ceiling on the H315R. DNT's Image Super Resolution processing recovers detail that digital zoom normally softens across that range. ISR is image processing rather than added sensor resolution — the H325R remains a 384×288-class device and should be judged as one.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe H325R shares its 384×288 sensor with the rest of the 384-class HOUND line\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnification does not add detail that the sensor never captured. The 384×288 array in the H325R is the same one the H315R uses, so the extra reach here comes from optics rather than from a finer image. Pixel data feeds a 1024×768 Micro-OLED display at 50 fps, and how far that data holds up under zoom is the practical ceiling on this model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA built-in rangefinder reads 1,200 yards through the H325R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePress the ranging button and the H325R returns a distance out to 1,200 yards. Feed that number to the onboard ballistic calculator with a load profile saved, and it comes back with an aiming solution. Profiles are built in the DNT App and synced to the device.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalette choice on the H325R covers four rendering options\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour palettes ship on the H325R: White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, and Iron Hot. Switching between them changes how the display draws temperature, not what the sensor detects, and DNT frames the choice around changing light and terrain. No palette outperforms another.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull-screen recording on the H325R keeps ballistic overlays\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVideo captured on the H325R keeps whatever ranging and ballistic overlays were showing at the time, which makes a clip useful for reviewing a shot rather than only for sharing it. Onboard eMMC storage runs to 32 GB, and the DNT App handles live view and file transfer over Wi-Fi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 10.55 oz the H325R matches its sibling on size and runtime\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe larger objective adds four tenths of an ounce over the 15 mm model and nothing else — 10.55 oz in the same 6.1 by 1.9 by 2.8 inch body, with the same 5.5 hours from a single cell and a spare plus charger included. Eye relief runs 25 mm with a fast diopter adjustment, and the housing carries an IP67 rating. Batteries must be flat-top 18650s at 65 mm by 18 mm; protected cells measure longer and will not seat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHunters confirming targets more than searching for them fit the H325R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoyote and hog hunters who already know roughly where animals are, and need to work out what they are looking at, are the core fit for the H325R. Magnification and zoom reach matter more than frame width for that job. Hunters covering large fields and tree lines will find more ground faster through the wider H315R at a lower price. Anyone needing to identify animals further out should step up to the 640-class H635R. Buyers who need one device that also goes on a rifle should be looking at the HYDRA line rather than either HOUND.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the difference between the DNT HOUND H325R and the H315R?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLens and magnification. The H325R has a 25 mm lens starting at 2.5x with zoom to 10x and an 18.4 by 13.8 yard frame at 100 yards. The H315R has a 15 mm lens starting at 1.5x with zoom to 6x and a wider 30.7 by 23.0 yard frame. Sensor, display, battery, storage, and dimensions are the same on both.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhich HOUND is better for scanning large fields?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe H315R. Its 30.7 yard frame covers more ground per sweep, which finds movement faster over open country. The H325R suits closer work where identifying what is already spotted matters more than searching.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow far does the H325R rangefinder measure?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive to 1,200 yards. Note that this figure describes how far the laser will return a distance, not how far the thermal sensor will identify an animal — the laser reaches much further than the image does.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan the HOUND H325R be mounted on a rifle?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo — there is no rail interface on the body and no mount supplied. For rifle-mounted thermal, the HYDRA series is the line to look at; a single HYDRA unit covers riflescope, clip-on, and handheld scanning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill pointing the H325R at the sun damage it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, and permanently. Thermal sensors are damaged by direct sun or open flame in the field of view. DNT adds a warning worth knowing: if the battery cap works loose or the cell fully drains, the internal shutter can stay open, meaning the sensor is exposed even with the device switched off. Cap the lens whenever the H325R is stowed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat comes in the box with the H325R?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo 18650 flat-top batteries and a charger, a carrying pouch, a lanyard and wrist strap, separate data and charging cables, a lens cleaning cloth, plus the user manual and quick start guide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DNT Optics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43713600028739,"sku":null,"price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/1737\/9139\/files\/HoundH325RProductImage.png?v=1787677411","url":"https:\/\/thermalbros.com\/products\/dnt-hound-h325r-384-thermal-monocular-with-laser-rangefinder","provider":"Thermal Bros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
