Question

Do the AirSight IP Cameras have Night Vision?


Answer

These cameras do have night vision - they have built in IR Illuminators which project beams of near-infrared light, similar to the beam of a normal flashlight, but invisible to the naked eye, that reflect off objects and bounce back to the lens of the camera, allowing them to see in very dark areas where there is almost no ambient light to collect. It is for this reason that cameras utilized for night vision purposes should not be mounted facing out a window. For indoor night vision, indoor cameras should be utilized. For outdoor night vision outdoor cameras should be utilized and mounted outdoors.
