Animals like all Cats, Dogs and other animals that are capable of seeing clearly in the dark. So, is it true that this technology now being used in Binoculars and Cameras has been inspired by animals like these?

not really.
Nocturnal animals have reflective structures in their retinas to cause the light that does exist at night to be reflected back through the retina, thereby increasing the sensivity of the eyes. That also causes the cat's eye reflection.

Intensifiers use avalanche multiplication that allows a single photon to generate a cascade of electrons hitting a phosphor screen to generate a brighter version of the image:
