Comparison of IR vs InVid Illuminate

Comparison of Standard IR vs. InVid Illuminate This video demonstrates three different video comparisons:

  • Standard IR Camera: Before upgrading to InVid Illuminate.
  • InVid Illuminate: With a little bit of light in the distance (Small kitchen light 2-rooms in).
  • InVid Illuminate (same camera): With zero light (Kitchen light off).
The InVid Illuminate camera maximizes all available light. Even a full moon in the sky will significantly improve picture quality. Watch the video and check back soon for more comparisons!

InVid Illuminate Cameras & White Light

Why does my camera have a white light on it? 

When you receive the camera, the white light is off by default. You have three options regarding the white light. The first option is automatic, which allows the camera to turn on the white lights when it gets dark. The second option is to keep the white light off, which is the default setting for the camera. The third option is manual, where you can adjust the intensity and the start and end times of the white light. Keep in mind that with the white lights off, the camera is more discreet, and the picture has a natural look with true colors. However, if the white lights are on, the colors may get washed out, and shadows may appear heavier. 

White Light: Automatic

You have the option to enable the camera to automatically activate white lights in low light conditions. Although the image remains clear, the light causes some color distortion.

White Light: Off (Default)

As you can observe, this picture has a much more natural appearance, allowing you to discern the color of the bushes extending beyond the white fence. There is also less shadowing in the picture.

White Light: Manual

Adjust the intensity and the start and end times. The picture is good, but the colors are washed out, and the shadows are heavier on the neighbor's house.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to use the built-in white lights on some of the cameras?

No. Some of the cameras may have built-in white lights. They are off by default because they are not needed. InVid Illuminate provides a 24/7 color picture. 

How Much Light do I need?

The cameras will utilize any and all available light in the surrounding area to produce a colorful and clear picture. This could be the glow from a window, flood lights in the distance, or even a full moon. Every scenario is slightly different, but this camera will produce some of the best images you will ever see in minimal light. 

Are these cameras NDAA Compliant?

Yes. Each of these cameras with InVid Illuminate Technology are NDAA Compliant.
