The evenings are drawing in, the lights are going on a little earlier, and cameras are spending more of their time working in the dark. It is a good opportunity to ask your customers a simple question. How well does their CCTV perform once everyone has gone home?
A camera can give you a great picture during the day, but it is worth taking a look at what happens when the daylight fades. Whether you are monitoring a car park, a business entrance or a yard, you want footage that helps you understand what has happened.
That is where the VIGI InSight S445S from our friends at VIGI is worth a closer look.
The S445S combines 4MP resolution with ColorPro 2.0 technology, helping capture colour and detail in very low light.
Think about the details you might need when reviewing footage. The colour of a jacket. A vehicle entering the site. Someone approaching a doorway. Having that extra colour information can make it easier to tell things apart and follow what happened.
In complete darkness, the camera’s intelligent lighting can activate white illumination when a person or vehicle is detected, allowing it to capture colour footage.
For installers working with customers whose outdoor lighting is limited, this gives you another option to explore when planning their system.
Alongside its night vision capabilities, the S445S includes human and vehicle classification, helping distinguish people and vehicles from other objects in the scene.
There is also two-way audio, allowing operators to speak to someone near the camera, and IP67 weatherproof protection for outdoor installations.
Of course, every site is different. Where the camera is fitted, the area it needs to cover and the lighting available will all play a part in choosing the right solution. If you are working through those details, our team is here to help.
The darker months are a good reason to check in with customers and see how their existing cameras are performing. A look at their evening footage could help you identify where an upgrade would be useful.
Whether you have a project coming up, a customer asking about colour night vision, or simply want to know more about the VIGI range, give us a shout.
We are always happy to talk through the options and help you find the right fit.
