Infrared Camera (IR)
What is an infrared camera (IR)?
An infrared (IR) camera is a camera equipped with infrared technology to capture images and video in low-light or complete darkness. It uses infrared LEDs to illuminate a scene with light that is invisible to the human eye but detectable by the camera’s sensor. Infrared cameras are commonly used in security systems, night surveillance, and thermal imaging to monitor areas without visible light. Businesses use IR cameras to enhance security, detect motion in the dark, and provide 24/7 monitoring in places like warehouses, parking lots, and storefronts.

Why is an infrared camera (IR) important?
An infrared (IR) camera is important because it provides clear visibility in low-light or complete darkness, making it essential for 24/7 security and surveillance. Unlike standard cameras, IR cameras use infrared light to capture detailed footage even when no visible light is present. This helps businesses and law enforcement monitor sensitive areas, detect motion, and identify intruders at night. IR cameras also improve safety in warehouses, parking lots, and storefronts by ensuring continuous monitoring without the need for extra lighting. With better nighttime visibility and enhanced security, infrared cameras are a critical tool for effective surveillance and protection.
