Do you want to be able to clearly see what is happening around your home or business even at night? Then a night camera indispensable. With a good outdoor camera with night vision or a night camera with recording you don't have to guess what happened, just see it back on camera. Whether it's your driveway, garden, storefront or warehouse, reliable camera security doesn't stop once it gets dark. Find out below what to look for and which night camera is best for your situation.
What is a night camera?
A night camera is a surveillance camera that is specially designed to take clear images even in low or no light conditions. This is usually done with infrared night vision or advanced light-sensitive sensors. Once it gets dark, the camera automatically switches to night mode.
A good night camera with recording not only captures live images, but also stores them. This way you can always review what happened afterwards. That gives peace of mind and security.
Outdoor camera with night vision: why so important?
Many incidents happen in the evening or at night. Precisely at those times you want to be able to rely on your security.
Always visibility, even in the dark
An outdoor camera with night vision films sharply day and night. Even in complete darkness, people and movements remain clearly visible.
Deterrent effect
Cameras with visible night vision (such as infrared) have a preventive effect. Unwanted visitors know they are seen.
Proof afterwards
With a night camera with recording, you always have footage available. This can be important in the event of damage, theft or vandalism.
Different types of night cameras
Not every night camera is the same. Depending on the situation, you can choose from different versions:
Bullet camera
These cameras are highly visible and ideal for outdoor use. They are often targeted at driveways, parking lots or business premises.
Dome (dome) camera
Compact and vandal resistant. Commonly used at stores and entrances, both indoors and outdoors.
Turret camera
A popular choice because of its sleek design and lack of reflection in night vision. Often gives just a slightly quieter image in the dark.
Image quality and resolution
The sharper the image, the more detail you see. Night cameras are available in different resolutions, such as 4, 8 or even 12 megapixels.
More megapixels does not always mean better, but it does:
-
More detail when looking back
-
Better zooming in without loss of quality
For many situations, 4 or 8 megapixels is already more than enough, especially with a good lens and night vision quality.
Night camera with recording: how does it work?
A night camera with recording saves images automatically as soon as motion is detected, or continuously if you wish. You can do this:
-
On an NVR (recorder)
-
On an SD card in the camera
Many models come standard with an SD card function, useful as an extra backup. Via the app or software, you can easily review the images.
Night camera indoors or outdoors?
Night cameras are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor use, it is important that the camera is resistant to rain, cold and dust. Indoor night cameras are often used in warehouses, halls or stores where there is no lighting at night.
Connection and power supply
Most night cameras work wired via Ethernet and are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet). That means one cable for power and data. That sounds technical, but it ensures a stable and neat installation.
