Let the pictures speak for themselves:

Standard Camera at Night

 

Image is poor, can make out some shapes, but no detail.  Person wearing black would not be seen

Nite Devil Wide Dynamic Range Camera

 

Image looks like daytime with slight loss of colour

Person wearing black would be easily seen.

Camera quickly adjusts to car headlamps allowing capture of the number plate if camera is positioned for such.

What about Infra-red cameras and lamps?

 

Infra red seems an obvious solution for night time vision and there is a large range readily available.  Our rule of the thumb is: put in a decent camera and Infra-red is not required.  

Infra red lamps have limited range and have a number of downsides including:

• Only the area that the lamp covers is lit in the image, often leaving the sides black.
• Car headlamps and bright lights often blur the image as the camera cannot cope with light and dark in the same area
• Peoples faces appear as a white block up close
• Power consumption can be upto 500w  for a large IR Lamp, which can cost over £200 per year  in electricity.  
• LED based lamps still use more than twice as much power as a standard camera
• LEDs fail over time and standard IR lamps need replacing usually at least once a year.

 

 

Traditional, Dome, and PTZ Speed domes are all available with Nite Devil electronics.  The price we can supply these for is comparable with standard quality commercial camera kit.  

 

If you have an existing camera in an external housing and an Infra-red lamp, simply replacing the camera will produce you a saving in electricity and IR bulb replacement in the first year.  

 

Most of our camera system installation proposals now include these as standard.  We are happy to supply these as part of a system or on their own. Please contact us for further details
