For optimum image quality with IR lighting at night

With most manufactures a day and night color network camera delivers color images during the day and when light diminishes below a certain level, the camera uses an IR-cut filter to switch to night mode to make use of near infrared (IR) light to deliver black and white images.

With this approach the camera uses a mechanical IR-cut filter. When such mechanisms are used the cameras have higher failure rates than cameras without any kind of moving part. The main reason for failure with this type of camera is that the filter wears out or it gets stuck. It is for this reason that MOBOTIX has a different approach to the Day and Night cameras.

MOBOTIX single lens cameras come in two variants: Day or Night. In this case the camera will always show the color image using Day models and a black and white image using Night models.

With black and white video the camera will not capture colors but it will allow for a much higher quality identification of people and objects at lower light levels and with external IR lighting.
