Vivotek<\/a>\u2019s Smart IR system is a unique infrared system that carefully signifies objects of importance so as not to wash them out in night time viewing. Essentially, what often occurs with cameras is that their infrared lighting will kick into gear, and then promptly \u2018white out\u2019 large portions of the image, making them largely invisible. And if it\u2019s not the white portions that are not viewable, then it\u2019s the areas around them, as often what\u2019s blotted out in white is contrasted with areas blotted out in blackness! No good!\u00a0Vivotek<\/a>\u2019s Smart IR technology automatically balances these contrasting settings out so as to better produce an image with all objects viewable.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Smart IR, or Smart Infrared, is a technology used in security cameras to improve the quality of night vision images and prevent overexposure of nearby objects when the IR (infrared) LEDs are activated. It’s particularly useful in scenarios where the camera needs to capture clear and detailed images in low-light or complete darkness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. \n

    Adjustable IR Intensity:<\/strong> Cameras equipped with Smart IR have IR LEDs that can automatically adjust their intensity based on the distance of the object being monitored. This means that when an object is close to the camera, the IR intensity is reduced to prevent overexposure and glare.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Eliminates Overexposure:<\/strong> By dynamically adjusting the IR illumination, Smart IR prevents objects that are very close to the camera from appearing too bright or washed out in the video. This ensures that details are captured accurately, even in close-up scenes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Optimal Night Vision:<\/strong> Smart IR technology ensures that objects at different distances from the camera receive appropriate levels of IR illumination, resulting in even and well-balanced night vision. This is particularly useful for outdoor surveillance or monitoring large areas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Reduces Hotspots:<\/strong> Without Smart IR, objects very close to the camera can create “hotspots” in the image, making it difficult to see other objects in the frame. Smart IR minimizes this issue by adjusting the IR output as needed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Enhanced Image Quality:<\/strong> Overall, Smart IR helps deliver clearer and more usable night vision footage by maintaining a consistent level of illumination throughout the camera’s field of view.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
