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.
