In this article you will discover which surveillance cameras you need for the right view. You will learn everything about the correct resolution, air sensitivity and the way in which a camera switches during day or night (light or dark). 
Use infrared surveillance cameras in the dark
Shooting in the dark is not always easy! If there is no light, you will not see a picture at all on a normal security camera. Yet you can still see what happens in the dark with infrared. An infrared camera works with infrared lighting and can therefore also record what happens in the dark. These types of surveillance cameras record in black and white. Nowadays there are all kinds of surveillance systems that use this technology. You can find out whether infrared lighting is used via the specifications of a security camera. Do you find infrared out of focus and do you prefer to capture color images? There are technologies nowadays that allow you to record in the dark without infrared.
Make color night shots
The infrared technology works great when there is no light at all. In most cases, however, there is enough light to make clear shots even without this technology! At such moments, security cameras with Starlight technology are used that are very light sensitive. The lower the LUX value of a security camera, the better this is possible. Is there suddenly total darkness? Then these security cameras can still switch to infrared. Ideal when you want to record as much as possible in color. Do you only record when motion is detected? Then you can possibly place a lamp with motion detection. This lighting only comes on when there is movement and makes it possible to record color images at night.
