HIKMICRO Alpex Australia
Needs first. HIKMICRO Alpex is a digital day/night riflescope, not a thermal. Colour by day, black-and-white with an IR torch after dark, in a 30 mm tube. If the job is finding heat through cover with no illuminator, that is a Stellar or Panther thermal, not Alpex. If you want one scope that looks like a day optic and still works after last light, stay here. Start with a Condor, Lynx or Falcon handheld so you are not waving the rifle to find animals. Then pick Alpex by quarry and typical shot distance, not by a price ladder.
Considerations. Lock the objective to the distances you actually shoot. Close pest work around ~150 m (rimfire, airgun, tight paddocks) is the 40 mm Lite class. Foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots want 50 mm: the 4K A50E/A50EL, or the Pro A50PL when you need the 12 MP sensor and Light Pro low-light processing. The “L” models add a laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator after the lens is right. Battery, weight and IR torch live in that same second column. Model-by-model specs sit in the Alpex 4K & Pro comparison. Brand fit sits on the HIKMICRO Australia Needs hub.
Hunt The Night is an authorised Australian HIKMICRO dealer. Every Alpex is genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty and Melbourne-based pre-sale advice. We fit digital day/night the same way we fit thermal: quarry, distance, role.

Alpex Lite — 40 mm, closer country
The A40E and A40EL Lite are the compact 40 mm F2.0 4K scopes. Use them when the hunt is inside ~150 m: rabbits, foxes off the ute, rimfire and airgun rigs that cannot carry a 50 mm tube. The EL adds a built-in rangefinder. IR torch is a consideration, not a substitute for a handheld scanner. In stock: A40E Lite, A40EL Lite LRF.
Alpex 4K — 50 mm all-round centrefire
The A50E and A50EL run the 3840×2160 sensor on a 50 mm objective with adjustable aperture. This is the default Alpex when foxes and feral shots sit past ~150 m. The EL adds a 1000 m LRF and ballistic calculator. In stock: A50E, A50EL LRF.
Alpex Pro — 12 MP flagship
The Alpex Pro A50PL keeps the 50 mm class and steps the sensor to 4512×2512 (12 MP) with Light Pro processing, F1.8 glass, a 1200 m LRF and AMOLED display. Pick Pro when dusk identification and extra on-screen detail matter more than carrying the 4K A50. It is still digital day/night, not thermal.
Which Alpex fits the hunt?

| Foxes at 250 m, centrefire 50 mm | A50E / A50EL | 50 mm 4K; EL if you want LRF |
| Same 50 mm lane, more low-light detail | Pro A50PL | 12 MP + Light Pro + 1200 m LRF |
| Find the animal first | Condor / Lynx / Falcon | spotter first — do not wave the scoped firearm |

HIKMICRO Alpex Australia — FAQ
Is Alpex a thermal scope?
No. Alpex is digital day/night vision. Thermal (Stellar, Panther, Condor) sees heat with no light. Alpex needs an IR illuminator in pitch black and gives you a daylight-style colour picture by day. If you need heat, leave this collection.
40 mm Lite or 50 mm 4K?
Needs first: distance and rifle. Around ~150 m on a light rig, Lite. Past that — foxes at 250 m, longer feral shots — 50 mm. Sensor megapixels add detail and low-light hold, not raw reach. The lens does the distance work.
When do I pick the Alpex Pro A50PL?
When the hunt already wants 50 mm and you want the 12 MP sensor, Light Pro dusk performance and the 1200 m LRF. It is a consideration after the lens class is locked, not a budget step.
Do I still need a monocular with Alpex?
Yes. Hunt The Night always spots with a handheld first. Do not sweep the paddock with a scoped firearm. A Lynx or Condor finds the animal; Alpex takes the shot once you are on it.
Is Hunt The Night an authorised HIKMICRO Alpex dealer in Australia?
Yes. Genuine Australian stock, full manufacturer warranty, Melbourne advice. Live pricing is on each product page. We do not group this line by under-$X tiers.
