Understanding Night Vision Technology

Night vision technology isn’t magic; it’s clever engineering. Most security cameras use infrared (IR) illumination. These cameras emit invisible infrared light, which bounces off objects in the scene. The camera’s sensor then detects this reflected IR light, converting it into a visible image. The result is a grayscale image, often with a slightly greenish or yellowish tint, allowing you to see details even in complete darkness. The quality of the night vision depends on the intensity of the IR LEDs, the sensitivity of the sensor, and the lens quality. Higher-end cameras offer superior performance in low-light
