Night Vision CCTV Explained: Infrared vs Colour | Auztech

 Which night vision suits your home? Auztech Security compares infrared and colour cameras for cctv installation melbourne properties.







Most incidents happen after dark, so night performance matters more than daytime sharpness. When comparing camera installation quotes, ask what the camera actually shows at 2am.

The Main Night Vision Types

  • Infrared (black and white): reliable in complete darkness and very common
  • Full-colour night vision: uses a little ambient light to keep colour, which helps identify clothing and vehicles
  • Low-light sensors: capture usable detail in dim conditions without a bright floodlight

Tips for Better Night Footage

  • Pair cameras with motion-activated lighting
  • Avoid pointing cameras straight at bright lights
  • Keep lenses clean and trim plants that reflect infrared glare
  • Place cameras where the subject passes close, not far away

They rank cameras by spec sheet. We install these systems in Melbourne homes every week, then get called back when something doesn’t work — which teaches you very different things about which cameras are actually good. This is a straight comparison of the four brands we install: Dahua , Hikvision , HiLook and Uniview . We stock all of them. We have no reason to push you toward one. First: The Thing Nobody Tells You The brand matters less than the install. A $2,000 camera system mounted at the wrong height, aimed at the wrong angle, with the recorder sitting in plain sight by the front door, is worse than an $800 system installed properly.
