When people are shopping around for security cameras, it is often tempting to put the price above all else. However, this can result in purchasing a camera that is not fit for the desired purpose.

A great example of this is seen when looking at a night vision home security camera. Such cameras can be invaluable in certain circumstances, particularly where a normal camera may not provide adequate security and reassurance.

If you are considering purchasing a camera of this type, here are three reasons why you should.

They provide accurate images even in darkness

Regular CCTV cameras may help you capture images during the day, but they will fail to work once the sun goes down. If someone decides to try and break in under the cover of darkness, a night vision camera will still capture their image, even without any residual light.

If the chosen camera provides images in full HD, so much the better. You might be surprised how accurate the images can be, even when there are no light sources nearby.

They can record images up to 30 metres away

The best cameras with night vision can record footage of anyone prowling in your garden or around your home. Even if someone is 30 metres away, these cameras can record their image. Most gardens are nowhere near that long, providing ample coverage in most scenarios.

They provide greater peace of mind

Most people would agree you cannot put a price on peace of mind. However, it is very difficult to say your CCTV kit can give you that if it is not capable of recording during the darker hours.

Since many crimes are committed at night, it makes sense to ensure the cameras you choose are capable of recording images even in darkness. Most people will install security lights as well as cameras, but these can be easy for a determined criminal to break. If you are keen on protecting your property as best you can, you cannot fault the peace of mind night vision cameras will deliver.

To ensure your new night vision cameras are working as they should be, make sure you hire a professional installer to position and install them in the ideal spot. From that moment on, you can be certain your property is monitored and better protected around the clock, day in, day out.
