Visual detection? - possible but seriously who in space would relay on visual scan (Gunnery Chief in Citadel says that pretty hard)... unless you will have from the beginning coordinates of target exit point from FTL speed what is almost impossible to determine OR you have radar system able to tracking ship moving in FTL corridor.
What sort of person brings an oven mit to an oven? A person who knows that he has to retrieve something very hot from inside the oven, and doesn't want to burn him/herself.
What sort of person brings a spoon to dinner table in which soup is going to be served? A person who knows they will need to scoop up the broth.
What sort of person carries a calculator into a math test? Someone who knows that the math test will involve math that the calculator is better suited for.
So what sort of people would bring visual sensors to an ambush aimed a target who's claim to fame is being invisible to nearly every other sort of detection? Someone with half a brain worth of backwards planning.
