Colour Night Vision CCTV Camera: Why Colour Evidence Helps
Imagine a theft at night. The victim tells the police the thief wore a white shirt and rode a black bike. Later the footage shows he wore yellow and rode a red vehicle. The wrong description cost the police time. This is exactly where a colour night vision CCTV camera earns its place.
Here is what changes when the picture is in colour.
Why black and white night cameras mislead
An ordinary camera switches to a black and white image in the dark. A red bike appears black, and a yellow shirt appears white, because the camera can show only shades of grey. Anyone describing the thief from such footage will describe him wrongly.
Why a colour night vision CCTV camera gives original evidence
A colour night vision IP camera shows the original colours even in near darkness. The footage then matches what really happened, and the police can pass accurate details to the next checkpoint, instead of searching for the wrong vehicle. Colour evidence is simply more useful for catching a thief and recovering your belongings.
Built-in lights make your house look occupied
Thieves tend to target dark houses. The Stanklin cameras we install have their own lights for night brightness. The light comes on automatically at dusk and switches off by itself, so even when you are out of town the house does not sit in the dark. The front looks lit and in use, which is a deterrent in itself. You do not need to leave your home lights on all night.
And if a thief still climbs in?
Stanklin is a Taiwan-based AI CCTV brand. Its cameras use AI to detect a person, and if someone climbs the wall into the area you marked, the camera sounds an alarm to drive the thief away. Face detection also photographs everyone who comes, and the faces are listed so you can click one to see that visit. Our Coimbatore guide explains how siren and human detection work around a property.
What to check when buying a colour night vision CCTV camera
- Does the camera show colour at night, or only black and white with an infrared glow?
- Does it have its own lights, and do they switch on and off automatically?
- Does it also record sound, and have human detection and a siren speaker?
- What is the warranty? Stanklin cameras come with a 2 year replacement warranty.
Key takeaways
- Black and white night footage can give the wrong colours for a thief's clothes and vehicle.
- Colour night vision gives the police accurate evidence.
- Built-in lights keep the house from looking empty and dark.
Frequently asked questions
Does colour night vision work in complete darkness?
The camera uses its built-in lights to give a colour picture at night. Ask for a demonstration at your location before you buy.
Will the light disturb my neighbours?
The lights are aimed at your property. We position them to avoid pointing at windows next door.
Do I still need house lights?
You may not need the usual house light for visibility, because the camera lights are bright enough for the area they cover.
Can the camera also record audio?
Yes. The cameras record audio with video, and you can talk through the speaker.
