How does IR camera of a dash cam be used to see surroundings in the night?
In concurrent era, technologies are everywhere and there is some technology that people already know yet so little about. Infrared light is an example. Many have already seen infrared light being applied, such as CCTV camera that glows around the lens is Infrared LEDs. but CCTV isn’t the only one but also “dash cam”. Let’s dig in deeper on how it works in dash cam, how they are applied in dash cam and what types of products GNET offers.
Google defines infrared lights as electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than those of visible light. Let’s simplify this. Where there is heat there is infrared. But we just can’t see them. So, how IR cameras’ night vision work? IR camera has red LED bulbs that can transmit infrared. Therefore, it shows brighter and clearer images in the night.
Some dash cam provides interior/rear camera with IR LED. Especially, interior camera IR is very practical as it shows inner view of a car. Providing important evidence when something happens. For Taxies and buses, interior cameras are important as it records actions inside of the car.
