Infrared LEDs illuminate scenes invisible to the human eye, producing clear monochrome footage in complete darkness.
Starlight sensors amplify available ambient light for colour images at dusk; full colour night vision uses supplemental white-light LEDs.
Match sensor type to your site: car parks and perimeters often benefit from IR; shop fronts may need colour identification after hours.
