Night recording cameras: IC LED, Color Sensor and Dual Lite solutions

1. IR LED cameras:

  • Standard infrared lighting technology.
  • They take a black and white picture at night.
  • Range usually from 20 to 50 meters, depending on the model.
  • Advantage: stable and reliable technology.
  • Cons: no color in night mode.

2. Color Sensor cameras (cameras with a color sensor):

  • They enable color recording at night, using weaker additional lighting or ambient light.
  • Ideal for detecting color details without additional IR illumination.
  • Shooting range is limited by lower light, typically up to 20-30 meters.

3. Dual Lite / combined cameras:

  • They combine IC LED + Color Sensor technology.
  • At night, they automatically choose the best mode: color when it's bright enough, IR LED when it's dark.
  • It provides the best flexibility and image quality in all conditions.
  • Advantage: clear picture, color when possible, black and white when necessary.

4. Q50 camera - recording without range limitation:

  • Advanced Dual Lite combination.
  • It allows recording at night and in complete darkness without additional light.
  • The range is practically unlimited thanks to the powerful IR illumination and advanced optics.
  • Ideal for large spaces, outdoor facilities and complex security systems.

5. Tips for choosing a camera for night surveillance:

  • For smaller space and indoor use → Color Sensor camera.
  • For outdoor spaces → IC LED or Dual Lite camera.
  • For maximum flexibility and unlimited range → Q50 model.
