How Important is Night Vision in a Security Camera? Share Your Thoughts!

[Reolink.Oskar]

When choosing a security camera, night vision can make or break your home security setup. Most security incidents happen after dark, so a camera’s ability to capture clear footage at night is crucial.

Here are a few features to consider:

• Infrared LEDs: These enable the camera to see in complete darkness. More LEDs usually mean better clarity.
• Range: If your camera can only see 30 feet, but your driveway is 50 feet long, it might not be enough.
• Color Night Vision: Some advanced cameras can provide full-color images even in low light—useful for identifying cars or clothing colors.
• Low-Light Sensors: Starlight sensors are a game-changer for dim environments.

What’s been your experience with night vision cameras? Any specific features you think are must-haves? Have you encountered any issues like overexposed IR footage? Share your thoughts or even your favorite models!

@reolink-oskar Well we need to have battery cameras with longer PIR range detection. Perhaps one can opt to use microwave technology to have longer range detection. We noted that the PIR installed on Argus 4 Pro seems to have a longer range than the Argus 3 Ultra.

For scenarios where there is a background light, the CX is the best camera to have.
