Statistically, break-ins happen between 6 AM and 6 PM, the majority of them
happening towards the evening in low light situations. Infrared security
cameras provide you with security even in the dark. Many business owners
concerned with after hour burglaries are looking to infrared security camera
systems. The basic benefit of a system such as this is its ability to record images
in the darkest of night. You can hide this thing in a dark corner, focused at an
angle to capture unsuspecting trespassers and would be burglars. The device
needs no light at all to function.
Infrared Security Cameras are equipped with mechanisms that allow for the
emission of light in the infrared spectrum. Infrared light is undetectable by the
naked eye. Furthermore, the clarity and the picture quality of an IR camera rival
that of the best digital camera on the market today. In low light environs where
there is a little illumination from the moon or from the stars, the picture quality of
an infrared security camera reproduces that of a digital recording camera
recording in the daytime.
There are a few drawbacks and limitations to most standard models of infrared
cameras. The LED emissions of many conventional infrared security cameras
only have a range of 50 feet. This means that your viewing scope will be
dramatically limited to only 50 feet. As a consideration, depending on your
needs as a homeowner or a business owner, you can acquire a model that
provides up to 100 feet of LED light emission, thus enabling a viewing scope of
100 feet. You will pay slightly more for this, but depending on your needs the
additional expenditure will be worth it. There are some IR security cameras that
have a view rendering of up to 300 feet! Big businesses and such employ these
more expensive and effective cameras. A typical infrared security camera image
is in black and white. The reason for this being that at night, typically there is no
source from which the camera can derive true colors from the visible spectrum
of light.

few are among many department stores that carry infrared security cameras.
