Whats the difference between infrared and night vision?

0

The biggest difference between a night vision camera and an infrared security camera is that the night vision camera can work well at night only when it is provided with some illuminating source at night for it to see through the dark. But an infrared security camera does not need an additional source as it is installed with IR illuminators which are capable of seeing through the complete dark even without any additional source.

Night vision goggles amplify small amounts of visible light thousands of times so objects can be seen at night. These only work if some light is present (moon, stars, streetlight, etc.). Thermal imaging works by detecting the heat energy being radiated by objects and requires absolutely no light!
