Until recently, most night vision security cameras produced only black-and-white images.
To make matters worse, traditional infrared night vision images are overexposed by reflected infrared light, causing bright areas to appear washed out and resulting in the loss of important details.
Full-color night vision can produce clear, full-color images even in extremely low-light conditions. By preserving color information and improving image detail, full-color night vision makes it much easier to identify people, vehicles, clothing, and other important evidence, greatly increasing the usability of security video footage.
This technology represents one of the most exciting advancements in video surveillance over the past three decades. For many applications, the ability to capture usable color evidence at night can make the difference between simply recording an incident and successfully identifying the people or vehicles involved.
