CCTV Day/Night Viewing Cameras

There are many options to make sure your cameras see in both daylight and lowlight. This section here should give you an overview of how you can achieve excellent images in both day and night.

Make sure your CCTV system is designed to give you good images in all light conditions or you will be paying full price for half a CCTV system.

There are 3 main options to consider when installing a CCTV system in an area of low light. Please see below for more information of the types of cameras available to work in low light conditions:

Standard Day/Night Camera	Camera with built in IR Lights	Camera with Separate IR Flood

Average Picture at night	Excellent Picture at night and less obtrusive. However IR lights generally degrade over time. Resulting in the whole unit having to be replaced.	Excellent Picture at night. Floods are available that have extremely low degradation on IR lights and can be replaced easily when they fail.

In extremely low light conditions, using infrared lighting for your CCTV system is the most reliable way of achieving sharp images in near 0 lux. See the example below of a typical Mono camera in near 0 lux. As you will see it's useless without the infrared lighting.
