Can deer see infrared? Will it spook them like in the picture?
That's only from the movie predator...animals (specifically mammals) cannot see in the infrared light spectrum. Some reptiles can 'sense' heat but it's not really 'seeing' as we can optically through our eyes (light radiation). Even then I think their range is quite limited (bats, snakes, frogs, fish). All animals see a little different than humans...some better and some worse, but almost all of them see differently than we do. For example dogs have quite different vision than us, the dog vision color spectrum is more limited, or alternatively the human color spectrum is more vibrant than that of a dog. You can google it for fun if interested to see an example.

IR light is a spectrum. You seem to be confusing "the movie predator" with all IR. The concept of "IR" is a huge....spectrum...literally.
Contrary to your statement, some IR can be seen faintly by some deer, and even people (won't likely spoke deer though). You'll find those on the Near-infrared (NIR) side of IR (almost visible light) area where most "the movie predator" type of thermal imagers are going to exist in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) or Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR). At that point it isn't even "light" as most people define it. More of a wave length on the EM spectrum. Thus why normal cameras technology cannot detect it, it does not penetrate standard glass, etc.
Haven't looked but just guessing this probably outputs 840 nm which some people can see (very faintly) and the reason it works so well for digital night vision devices it is is so close to visible light the technology from standard cameras and "illuminators" is so easily / cheaply repurposed for its use. True predator thermal is no where near cheap or close on that massive section of the EM spectrum.
You are also greatly oversimplifying the animal sight spectrum as well.

An interesting deal post. Let's check the comments for reviews! ......aaaaand it's a strange albiet interesting argument about the biology of animal vision, all sparked by a joke comment.
Slickdeals doesn't disappoint lol

I actually lol'd to this, since it was exactly what I was thinking. Not sure what to make of the animal ability discussion info and not quite informative enough about actual product usage. I feel unexpectantly educated and disappointed at the same time.

"Simplify".... to the point of being incorrect and providing false information..while also talking down to another user? You confused a digital night vision IR illuminator with "the movie predator" thermal vision. That's like "simplifying" a hot air balloon and a submarine into the same class of transportation. They both travel through a fluid (from the literal physics definition) so they are basically the same thing, right? Honestly that would probably be more accurate than your statement.

No, they can't see in infrared.
