Looking for a car camera or dashcam with night vision or Night vision? Many of our dashcams are aligned with a good night vision camera, allowing them to capture excellent footage even in the dark. ‘Night vision’ or night vision is not so much an extra feature on a dashcam, the quality of the images at night depends mainly on the image sensor used. In this article on Night vision or night vision on dashcams, we explain it in a bit more detail.

Some dashcams, such as many taxi dashcams, do have an extra Night vision option. The interior camera is often equipped with infrared LEDs. These LEDs are especially effective at short distances, so they can help to get a better view of the interior and/or occupants in the dark. These infrared LEDs are less effective for night vision when pointed outwards.

Of course, a car camera with night vision is very nice if you often drive in the dark. However, night vision is also just a good indication about the quality of the dashcam. If your dashcam has good night vision, you know it has a good image sensor and that the images will also be good during the day. Sony's image sensors are known for their good Night vision performance and these sensors also outperform many other brands during the day.
