Let’s talk about color night vision security cameras<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you need to have a security camera in<\/span> a large dark area<\/span><\/strong>, this article can help you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not talking about using infrared lights, which prevents you from capturing color images in the dark. What I want to show you is color footage at nighttime.<\/p>\n

The picture below shows an example of an image on a dark parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"Amcrest<\/span><\/p>\n

In this scenario, an Infrared camera won’t show such details.<\/p>\n

Large dark areas require professional low light security cameras.<\/p>\n

The pictures below a regular camera (Canon DSLR) on the left and an <\/span>Amcrest Night Color professional security camera<\/span><\/a> on the right. Note the huge difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

A professional security camera has features to deal with this type of scenario. <\/p>\n

The Amcrest camera features<\/h2>\n

Let’s take a look at the camera features.<\/p>\n

Night Color Video<\/h3>\n

The picture below shows the camera exposure menu.<\/p>\n

\"Amcrest<\/span><\/p>\n

Exposure menu (Click to Enlarge)<\/p>\n

As you can see, there is a lot of different option to play with.<\/p>\n

Shutter speed control, gain, and other parameters can drastically change how the camera behaves in a dark scenario like a large parking lot.<\/p>\n

Play the video below to watch the camera working in a dark environment.<\/p>\n

The camera does an excellent job and keeps its color.<\/p>\n

Video noise reduction<\/h3>\n

Digital video noise shows up every time you have a camera working in a dark environment. But did you notice any noise in the previous video?<\/p>\n

The Amcrest camera can handle the noise, and it’s not even noticeable.<\/p>\n

That’s because the camera has this 3D NR (Noise Reduction) feature.<\/p>\n

\"Amcrest<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s possible to turn it on and adjust the levels.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the pictures below and see the difference…<\/p>\n

\"Amcrest<\/span>\"Amcrest<\/span><\/p>\n

You can play with the settings until you find the best one for your scenario.<\/p>\n

The camera spotlight<\/h3>\n

Depending on the scenario, you can enable the camera spotlight.<\/p>\n

I’m not using this feature for this particular installation because it’s not allowed in such an area, but it’s possible to use it to illuminate even dark spots. <\/p>\n

\"Amcrest<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s possible to use the camera menu to control the spotlight intensity.<\/p>\n

Dark scenarios examples<\/h2>\n

Here are some pictures that show the Amcrest camera in different scenarios.<\/p>\n

Note the time between 4 AM and 6 AM.<\/p>\n

I recommend you to read the Amcrest Night Color camera review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

The Amcrest Night Color Camera IP4M-1046EW-AI is an excellent product.<\/p>\n

It works pretty well in dark environments and captures color footage.<\/p>\n

If you need a camera to work in such environments, just go for this one….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
