The before and after sample photos above give you a much better sense of this: Note how you can make out individual books on the far-right bookshelf in the after picture in the before photo, they’re little more than a gray blur. The LIFX+ throws out a ton of light-far more than your typical IR camera-really brightening up nighttime footage no matter which IR camera you’re using. Solution: Light up the scene with an external infrared light source, courtesy of bulbs you already have installed. The glow is from infrared light that only the camera can see. In the image on the right, the LIFX+ bulb is in the lamp, but it’s turned off via the app.
The catch is that those infrared LEDs aren’t typically very powerful, which is why nighttime footage from most of these cameras looks fuzzy and muted.īoth photos were captured from a home security camera. Infrared light is invisible to our eyes, but it makes a huge difference in what the camera can pick up. What they have is a sensor that can detect light in the infrared spectrum, and most models have a small infrared LED on the front to help light up the surrounding when the sun goes down.
“Night vision” cameras-of which there are many on the market-can’t really see in the dark.
