About us

A device nobody has measured is just a promise.

OptiDynex is a Czech manufacturer of thermal imaging, night vision and fusion systems. Design, mechanics, assembly, testing and service all happen in our own laboratory in Bystřice pod Hostýnem.

We source components from makers we trust, such as Lynred, Exosens and other proven suppliers. Every device leaves with measured parameters and a test report, not a catalogue promise.

Layers we keep in-house

The whole chain in one company.

What others piece together from five suppliers, we keep in one building. That is why we can modify a device in weeks, not budget cycles.

01

Components

Detectors and image intensifiers from Lynred, Exosens and other proven suppliers.

02

Engineering

In-house design, CNC machining, laser marking and prototypes.

03

Assembly

Thermal, night vision and fusion systems assembled in a clean environment.

04

Testing

Every device tested on MIL-STD equipment, with a report.

05

UAV integration

Thermal and day camera cores, UAV design and production.

06

Service

We keep every device in shape for its whole service life.

Verified by measurement

Tested to MIL-STD. Every unit, not a sample.

We do not check parameters, collimation and function by random sampling. We measure every device that leaves the lab, and the customer gets the results in writing.
