Welcome to Total Automation, your trusted experts in CCTV systems across Hertfordshire, including Watford, Stevenage, and beyond. A common concern we encounter is the functionality of CCTV systems in environments with little or no light.
How Do Dark Conditions Impact CCTV Systems?
CCTV systems are essential for ensuring security around the clock, yet many wonder how effective they are in the dark. Traditionally, CCTV effectiveness diminishes under poor lighting conditions, which can compromise the security of properties during nighttime.
What Options Are Available for CCTV Systems in Low-Light Conditions?
Fortunately, advancements in technology have introduced several solutions for operating CCTV systems effectively in low-light conditions. Infrared (IR) night vision and thermal imaging are two prominent technologies that allow CCTV cameras to capture clear video regardless of the lighting. IR cameras use IR LEDs to illuminate their field of view, invisible to the naked eye but fully visible to the camera sensor. Thermal cameras, on the other hand, detect heat emitted by objects, allowing them to see through total darkness, smoke, or fog.
