There are two types of Day and Night Cameras:
Comparison of Samsung DAY/NIGHT and Conventional Cameras
Day and night cameras
They offer excellent visibility in the darkest of conditions and can almost make the visibility as good as daytime in light conditions as low as 0.01 LUX up to 20 meters. A good quality camera with a full menu and very focal lens will also keep even quick moving images in the dark crystal clear with no blurring. We stock a range of night and Day cameras in different housings and different price brackets to suit both the installation and affordability.
Infra-Red Cameras
This type of camera have built-in light sensors which detect the difference between day and night use. During normal light hours they work in colour like any other normal camera. Once the light levels drop, infrared emmiters switch on shining an invisible light that only the camera can pick up.
At night these cameras literally see in the dark, much better than the human eye can.
