Is there a camera that takes really good night pictures in very dark conditions?

How about a camera that actual has GEN 1 night vision built in?

You have several options:
1. Buy a separate nightvision device and take a picture through it with a regular camera. I’ve done that. It was tricky to get them to line up since neither was designed for this, but I was able to get some decent results.
2. Just get a digital camera that will take a picture of a long (more than five seconds) period of time. I’ve done this with excellent results.
3. Get a digital camera with a really high (1600) ISO setting. I’ve done this in places like circuses where they don’t allow flash photography and gotten tolerable results.
4. The Fujifilm S3 Pro UVIR sees visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet light. I can’t afford one, but if I could I sure as heck would get one. It sees twice the bandwidth of light, so everything should look twice as bright. The color won’t be right in shots like that though.
5. What the other guy said.

In the present vulnerable scenario, security seems to have become the prime concern of the common people.

All those who do not have the liberty as well as the money to keep body guards should not worry. To tackle the problem of security, various types of security camera have been launched in the technological world. Security cameras are recognised as the standard in monitoring property and detection of criminals. Surveillance video is claimed to be the most successful home monitoring device by its ways to protect oneself against theft and violence. This is because these cameras are very effective in deterring criminals, thus protecting your house against theft and violence and further help them to catch those perpetrators.

Surveillance cameras that are primarily used for monitoring but today their scope has not been restricted to government offices or banks.

Today, these CCTV cameras are applicable in houses as well. Cities such as London have installed several surveillance cameras throughout the city as a means of deterring and capturing criminals. Car theft is one arena where these cameras are extremely helpful. So much so is the advantage of security cameras that even cities like New York and Chicago are beginning to use surveillance cameras throughout the city. Though some people argue that surveillance cameras evade the privacy of people, thus stripping them of their civil rights. Critics have also charged that surveillance cameras are used more for social control than as criminal deterrents. However, with the rise in many anti social happenings, these cameras have proven to be very useful.

Initially these security cameras were analogue, but the digital phase has taken over them now.

These digital security cameras transmit their data feed via WiFi technology to the Internet. From there a digital video recorder or a computer can view the feed with a specially configured Web browser. The video recorders are thus able to store data feed to a DVD-ROM.

Apart from the digital video security cameras that are present in a variety of options in the computer hardware industry, digital still surveillance cameras are also available. These cameras are equipped with motion detectors that alert the camera to take a photo when any activity occurs. This camera is very much in methodology like the digital cameras that hold hundreds of photographs at one time.

In this world where a new technology is born everyday, there are a wide variety of options to choose from in the security cameras segment as well.

There are spy cameras that are the smallest and most powerful covert spy camera/recorder in the world. The micro hidden camera, though looks like an air freshener, is ultra-covert with 2GB of RAM for fast-action snapshot video when motion is detected. Then there is the Night Vision Camera that capture footage even in complete darkness. This type of motion-activated wireless night vision camera has a 150 foot night vision range, which is capable of recording anywhere, anytime.

Many popular companies like Sony, today, are involved in the manufacturing of these CCTV cameras.

All one needs to do is to choose the one that suits one’s requirements. In recent times, they are used by many government branches, businesses and by private homeowners. Choose from Wireless Cameras, Hidden Cameras, Secure Recording Devices, and even Decoy Cameras to protect your home or office.

well, i want a Night Vision Camera or night vision add on for digital cameras. I want one that looks normal, kinda like the ne they use n The Othersiders or whatever. But if you can find one that looks like a normal video camera then that would be great!!! thank you!!!

You want Sony Nightshot.
This is pretty much a standard feature that Sony offers with most of their handy cams and digital camera’s now.

Very simply, Nightshot allows you to take an image in complete darkness, in the absence of any available light.
Nightshot makes these cameras instantly IR(infrared) Modded, and with the flip of the switch, it goes back to the Un-Modded color capable “Normal” state.

Yes, flip a switch and these cameras remove the internal IR Block Hot Mirror filter for IR Photography, and then flip it back, and the IR blocker filter goes back into place for regular Color Photography.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck and enjoy.

I need a good Night Vision Camera for investigations, possibly for under $300!

You need an ectoplasm sensitive camera, not a night vision camera. Sheeze, these kids that didn’t watch Scooby Doo just don’t know how to hunt a ghost properly!

Looking to buy a camera that has night vision since mine doesn’t. I’m into meteor showers and such and would like to film one, one of these nights. Thanks!

NONE

There are a few, very few camcorders that are 0 LUX and have an IR lamp that will provide lighting out to about eight to ten feet.

Since meteor showers are sending light to the view from hundreds to a thousand miles away, a video camera, even with with a rather fast lens may miss the show.

Night vision scopes "starlight" collects all the light that is available and then amplifies it. If you have ever watched the Military Channel, you may have noticed that the images produced by them are VERY noisy and not sharp at all.

The best way to record meteor showers is to place your camera on a tripod, frame your shot and then open the shutter and leave it open for a few seconds. Start there and see if there is enough light, if not, you will have to either open the aperture of your lens, lengthen the exposure time or increase the ISO.

Security is something that is sometimes optional; however, there are times when you really have no choice about securing your home or office. This is especially true when your business is at stake. These days, security systems are incredibly complex but, in spite of that, they are worth the effort and will give you much more security than you ever dreamed imaginable. Some security systems, in fact, are so complex and advanced that no one can even tell the system is there. One way to do that is to add devices such as motion sensors and high tech wireless hidden cameras to your security plan.

For example, the stores you often shop in are outfitted with security cameras. Most likely, the entire store is fitted with wireless security cameras, pointed in every conceivable direction. You may be able to see the cameras but, these days, many are hidden wireless cameras you won’t be able to see. In fact, they may be hidden in unusual places and are incredibly small. Unless you’re caught for stealing, these cameras go unnoticed and you won’t ever detect their presence.

The best selling wireless hidden cameras are so small you can’t see them unless you already know they are there. Often hidden behind walls, the cameras poke through tiny holes in the wall. In some cases, the cameras poke through miniature holes or cracks in the ceiling. Businesses sometimes locate the cameras inside or behind various displays in the store so that, unless you look hard, you won’t see anything. Stores with lot’s of expensive items almost always have these kinds of cameras watching for shoplifters.

What about using wireless hidden cameras inside your house? You can use them as the sole aspect of your security or as a part of a bigger security package. One commonly used hidden wireless camera system is what some people call the “nanny camera”. They can watch your babysitter twenty four hours a day or can make sure your maid is doing her job without stealing any of your belongings. You can feel safer, knowing that your house and your family are secure.

Wireless hidden cameras may be purchased in various places; however, searching for a system on the web may be the easiest way to do it. Some of these websites offer entire security systems or even Night Vision Cameras you can use anywhere. You can price items on the web and do comparison shopping. If you feel ready to buy your system, you can buy them from Internet suppliers. If you don’t feel right about shopping on the Internet, find a nearby specialty store that sells such items. Do your homework in advance and ask as many questions as you can. These items aren’t cheap and you want to be completely prepared before you purchase one.
