Night Vision Technology Explained

Sarah JohnsonFebruary 22, 20266 min read

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.
