Night vision cameras provide security even in darkness. A lot of crimes happen at night. This makes it very important to have night vision devices that provide decent images in darkness. It is possible to improve your cameras’ performance by following the suggestions and tips illustrated in this guide.

Add more light

This is an obvious solution but it is still worth mentioning. You can add more light to the area to improve the quality of your security cameras. The camera can record in colour mode if the area is well-lit. It will not turn on the built-in infrared lights.

You should add more light if it is possible to do so. You can install a porch light on the sides of the driveway or parking area where you leave your car. You can even exchange your light bulb with a brighter bulb.

Install internal infrared lights

This is another way to increase the efficiency of your night vision equipment. Most security cameras have built-in infrared LED lights that turn on automatically when it gets extremely dark. These lights help the camera to see around the area. The light isn’t visible to the naked eye but your camera will see it. This will make the final image on the monitor black and white.

These infrared blocks around the eye of the camera aren’t strong enough. They are even inferior and the camera might not be able to record decent images. Sometimes your camera can see through a short distance.

You can add more external infrared LED light if you think the built-in lights that your night vision cameras come with aren’t enough. These devices are known as illuminators. They are ideal solutions to brighten the area. They will help your camera see clearer and produce better images at night.
