Infrared surveillance cameras have long been used to protect their property and their people. As IR security cameras are becoming more affordable, they are also becoming more popular for home surveillance. Surveillance cameras, work best with proper illumination. However, with surveillance cameras, discretion is often needed and bright flood lights can give away the location of cameras. For discreet recording at night or in poorly lit areas, IR cameras can be a huge benefit. Infrared illumination cannot be registered as light by the human eye but it can illuminate a scene well enough for a security camera to register. While we perceive the area as being totally dark, the camera with register the light and record clear, black and white images.

Another incredible benefit of infrared illumination is that they use LED lights that last longer than typical light bulbs and use much less energy.  Most surveillance cameras will only activate the LEDs when needed so no light or energy is wasted.

If something goes bump in the night, simply access your IR camera footage via remote viewing software to get a clear image of your property. IR cameras are the best way to protect your home. And get clear surveillance footage anytime of the day or night and in any weather condition.
