How to choose the appropriate low illumination infrared camera

[ Huaqiang Security Network News ]

When we buy an infrared camera, we often notice a parameter, which is the minimum illumination. So, what is the concept of minimum illumination? The minimum illuminance of the infrared camera is the brightness value of the monitored scene when the brightness of the monitored scene is low to a certain extent and the video signal level output by the camera is lower than a certain value.

Infrared camera

There are some people in the market with the minimum illumination of the infrared camera, or even the default is 0, you can imagine, how funny it is. We know that CCD is a photosensitive component. How can it be imaged without light? Therefore, the minimum illuminance can only be close to the value of 0, but it must not be equal to 0. We pay attention to this when purchasing an infrared camera.

When the minimum illumination of the selected infrared camera is higher than the requirement of the infrared lamp, the effective illumination distance of the infrared lamp will be affected. Users should be reminded that there are two kinds of abnormal conditions in the minimum illumination of the technical performance of some cameras on the market. One is that the minimum illumination of the camera manufacturer is the so-called target illumination, that is, the illumination on the CCD image sensor. It is about 10 times lower than the illumination of the scene; the other is the technical indicator that the individual camera manufacturer or seller falsely reports the minimum illumination.

At present, the actual minimum illumination of a black and white camera on the market (some minimum illumination is 0.01 to 0.02Lx) is only 0.1 to 0.2Lx. If the infrared lamp used requires the minimum illumination of the infrared camera to be 0.02Lx, it will inevitably affect The effective illumination distance of the infrared light. For cameras with a minimum illumination of 0.02 Lux, the price may be at least double that of a camera with a minimum illumination of 0.1 to 0.2 Lux.
