How Does Night Vision Work?
Night vision isn’t just restricted to those iconic night vision goggles we all wanted for Christmas, they are in fact a valid and necessary form of surveillance. Night vision is a form of image enhancement where a specialist camera lens turns the darkness of the night into a visible world of life and movement. This is usually done thermally using infrared radiation.

Infrared itself, is electromagnetic energy which travels through a wavelength. Technically speaking, it picks up the heated energy of a living thing and sends it to the camera which processes the image into a clear, visible feed.

Wildlife Watching
This form of imagery opens up a whole new world of nocturnal nature. This was a ground-breaking concept, especially for the likes of Sir David Attenborough.
