Understanding Night Vision Technology

Before diving into specific cameras, it’s helpful to understand the core technologies behind night vision. Most outdoor night vision cameras utilize either image intensification or thermal imaging. Image intensification cameras amplify existing ambient light, making low-light scenes visible. These are typically more affordable but require some level of light, even starlight, to function effectively. Thermal imaging cameras, on the other hand, detect infrared radiation emitted by objects. This allows them to create images even in complete darkness, making them ideal for situations with no ambient light. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses, affecting image quality,
