N-Link: Wireless Rangefinder Data Sharing Between Nocpix Models

N-Link: Wireless Rangefinder Data Sharing Between Nocpix Models

If you've ever been out hunting and wished you had a buddy to call out distances and help dial in your shot, you’re going to love N-Link.

This powerful technology lets Nocpix thermal devices talk to each other, meaning if one device has a laser rangefinder (LRF), it can share that data with another device that doesn’t. That means more accurate shots, faster decision-making, and less guesswork—because now, your optics are hunting together.

Why Are Laser Rangefinders (LRFs) a Big Deal?

If you’ve used an LRF before, you already know how valuable they are. If not, here’s why they’re a must-have for serious hunters and precision shooters:

🔹 No more guessing distances – Get instant, precise range measurements, even in total darkness.  
🔹 Faster target acquisition – Know exactly how far your target is without switching tools or estimating.  
🔹 Better shot placement – Pairing an LRF with a ballistic calculator ensures you adjust for bullet drop with pinpoint accuracy.  

But here’s the thing—not all Nocpix devices have an LRF built-in. That’s where N-Link really stands out, letting you share range data between devices, so even non-LRF scopes can get precise firing solutions.

What is N-Link?

Think of N-Link as the missing link between your thermal optics. It’s a wireless connection that allows an LRF-equipped Nocpix device to share real-time distance data with another Nocpix optic that doesn’t have one.

So, if you’re running a scope without an LRF, you can pair it with a handheld or another scope that does, and suddenly, your optic has all the range data it needs for precise ballistic calculations.

In short: If one Nocpix device can range, they both can.

Which Nocpix Models Have LRF, and Which Don’t?

Not sure if your device has a built-in laser rangefinder? Here’s a quick breakdown:

Models That Can Receive LRF Data via N-Link: 

  • ACE L35 and H50
  • ACE S60R and ACE H50R (these units have an integrated LRF, but this allows a spotter to send LRF information about a target that may not yet be in the shooter's view.

If your optic doesn’t have an LRF, N-Link lets you borrow one—turning your setup into a smarter, more connected hunting system. N-Link connectivity may be available on additional units in the future. 

Why it Matters

Let’s face it—precision matters. Whether you’re lining up a shot in the dead of night or making adjustments on the fly, knowing exactly how far your target is makes a huge difference.

With N-Link, your devices work together:

✅ Instant range data transfer – No more switching tools or estimating distances.  
✅ Real-time ballistic calculations – Your non-LRF scope can now display MOA adjustments and impact points based on shared range data.  
 Seamless operation – Stay focused on your target while your devices handle the calculations.  

Basically, less thinking, more shooting.

How to Set Up N-Link

Connecting your Nocpix devices is quick and easy:

  1. Turn on Wi-Fi on your LRF-equipped device (Device A). *(Default password: 12345678)*  The Wi-Fi Setting should be set to "On", not "N-Link"
  2. Activate N-Link on your non-LRF device (Device B). The Wi-Fi setting on this device should be set to "N-Link"  
  3. Select Device A from the available connections.  
  4. Press the M button to connect.  
  5. Look for the ✅ symbol—that means you’re successfully linked!  

Once connected, every single range measurement from Device A is sent to Device B, allowing it to calculate accurate ballistic data in real-time.

Not seeing the "N-Link" option on your device? Check to make sure your model is one (from the list above) that supports N-Link.  If it is on the list does not have the N-Link option, it is likely because your device was shipped before N-Link was available. Connect your device (via WiFi) to your phone or tablet with the Nocpix app and update the device firmware (we always recommend writing down the "coordinates" of your scope's zero before a major update.) 

Not seeing the rangefinder data on the receiving device? Make sure the LRF on the sending device is set to "Single" instead of "Continuous". Pushing the button to fire the LRF is what sends the screenshot and distance reading to the second device. 

Things to Keep in Mind

  • N-Link is exclusive to Nocpix products—it won’t work with third-party devices. 
  • Device A (LRF) should ideally be a handheld or scope for best results. 
  • One Device A can link to multiple Device Bs, but for best performance, a one-to-one connection is recommended.  
  • Device B can only link to one Device A at a time.  
  • Only single-ranging data is transmitted—continuous tracking isn’t supported (yet).  
  • Max effective range between devices: 2 meters—stay close for reliable transmission.  
  • Both devices need to be updated to the latest software for N-Link to function properly.  

The Bottom Line

N-Link turns your Nocpix setup into a connected, smarter shooting system.

If you have a thermal optic without an LRF, you don’t have to miss out on precise ranging data. Just pair it with an LRF-equipped device, and you’ll have the info you need to make every shot count.
