IR illumination
Most cameras switch on infrared illumination at night and show a black-and-white image. The illumination range is listed in the specs, for example “IR up to 30 m”. The real range depends on conditions.
Colour at night
Some cameras, such as Hikvision ColorVu, give a colour image at night thanks to a sensitive sensor and soft light. This helps tell the colour of clothes and cars.
What to consider
Night images depend on street lighting, reflective surfaces and distance. We will advise where to place the camera so the illumination does not wash out the image.
