Schedule ServicePoor night vision troubleshooting
Poor night vision usually comes from a mix of lighting, camera placement, lens condition, and older hardware. We test the scene after dark where possible and make practical fixes first.
Signs your night vision needs service
- Faces and plates are not identifiable
- The image is too dark or completely white
- IR lights reflect off nearby surfaces
- Cameras work outside but not through glass
- Motion blur makes footage unusable
We help you get clearer, more useful footage without overspending on equipment you may not need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can cameras see through windows at night?+
Most infrared cameras perform poorly through glass because the IR light reflects back into the lens.
Should I add lights or upgrade cameras?+
It depends on the scene. We can evaluate both options during a service visit.
Do all cameras have night vision?+
No. Some older or budget cameras have weak night performance even when they advertise infrared night vision.
