Night vision of our surveillance cameras: An essential solution against burglaries

Find out how our surveillance cameras capture clear, detailed images, even in total darkness, thanks to infrared and/or Dual Light Vision.
September 12, 2024

Summer is often synonymous with vacations , relaxation and long stays away from home. Unfortunately, this is also a time when burglaries increase significantly. With homes left empty and owners absent, burglars are taking advantage of this opportunity to enter unattended properties. To counter this threat, surveillance systems with night vision are becoming essential . Discover how night vision technologies allow you to record every detail for clear, flawless surveillance.

Why is night vision crucial while on vacation?

Statistics show that burglaries increase significantly during the holidays . Families often leave their homes unoccupied, making these periods ripe for intrusions. As a homeowner, it is crucial to have a reliable security system that works effectively, even in complete darkness . This is where night vision comes into play.

How do infrared cameras work?

Infrared plays a crucial role in the operation of surveillance cameras with night vision. These cameras are equipped with infrared LEDs that emit light at wavelengths invisible to the human eye.

When the ambient light decreases, the infrared LEDs automatically activate, illuminating the scene with this special light. The camera’s sensors capture this light reflected from objects and people, allowing clear , detailed images to be created even in complete darkness. This mechanism ensures effective surveillance 24/7 , strengthening security by capturing every suspicious movement, no matter the time.

Wavelengths of LEDs for Night Vision

Night vision in surveillance cameras mainly relies on the use of infrared (IR) LEDs . These LEDs emit infrared light invisible to the human eye but captured by the camera sensors. The wavelengths used for these LEDs generally vary between 850 nm and 950 nm.

  • 850 nm LED: These LEDs produce a weak but still visible red glow , which can be disturbing in a residential environment such as a bedroom, living room, etc.
  • 940nm LEDs: These LEDs are completely invisible to the human eye, making them perfect for covert surveillance applications. Since these discreet LEDs offer a shorter surveillance range, they are ideal for indoor surveillance. Our Wi-Fi cameras SHC04IR0 , SHC05IR0 and SHC08IR0 use this wavelength to provide you with 24-hour surveillance with complete peace of mind.

Dual Light Vision Technology

Dual Light Vision technology represents a significant advantage in video surveillance, combining the benefits of infrared (IR) and visible lighting to deliver high-quality surveillance, day or night . Unlike traditional systems that use only infrared LEDs, “Dual Light Vision” incorporates both infrared LEDs for discreet nighttime images and white LEDs for color surveillance in the dark, if the camera detects movement.

Our TURRET cameras and BULLET specially designed for office or outdoor surveillance, are equipped with this technology. With them you also benefit from:

  • Adapted infrared vision : Equipped with 850nm LEDs, these cameras offer surveillance over a greater distance, and slightly visible LEDs which can have a deterrent effect for exterior surveillance.
  • Surprising image quality : With an impressive 5 megapixel resolution, access sharp images, offering an exceptional level of detail for complete surveillance.
  • Weather resistance : With the BULLET camera, benefit from weather-proof surveillance thanks to its IP67 waterproof rating.
  • Human and vehicle detection : This advanced functionality enables smarter monitoring and rapid response to potential threats.
  • NVR & Cloud Recording : Double security for your data, allowing reliable local storage and secure remote access via the cloud . This hybrid solution guarantees the protection and continued availability of your recordings, even in the event of a system failure.

With the increase in burglaries during the holidays, investing in a surveillance system equipped with night vision is a proactive and wise measure. Understanding the underlying technologies, such as infrared LED wavelengths and Dual Light Vision , can help choose the system best suited to your needs. Not only do these technologies provide increased security during the summer months, but they also provide continuous monitoring throughout the year, providing invaluable peace of mind.

Protect your home and property by opting for advanced surveillance cameras with night vision. Robust security is both an investment and a necessity in today’s world.
