Day & Night Solution
Infrared LED is usually used for night surveillance, with camera set to allow
Infrared (IR) light pass thru sensor to get night vision
Solution 1: With dual-band filter, cameras can be used during day time with
visible light as well as for night time with IR light (extra IR LED illuminator
required). This is the most entry level solution that can work in the day and
at night, but sometimes its side effect may affect picture color for day time.
Solution 2: With ICR (Infrared-Cut Removable filter) module, it can use 2
filters for day and night time to provide better color performance, but at a
higher cost.
Solution 3: Camera with built-in IR LED for illumination and dual-band or
ICR filter to provide advanced functionality, usually known as an all-in-one
camera.

Day & Night Solution – Dual Band
Dual band coating to allow
visible light and IR
illumination to pass through.
Problem of dual band coating
• Sensors respond to both
visible light and infrared
light
• White balance algorithm
will be affected by the
infrared
• Image have color
problem in strong IR light

Day & Night Solution - ICR
ICR (IR-Cut Removable) Lens
• Remove IR-cut filter during night time will give best results
• True day and night
• But more expensive
