Solar Lights and CCTV: How Lighting Gives You Better Night Footage
Many people buy CCTV and then find the night footage is grainy. The cause is usually not the camera but the lack of light. A solar light fixes that.
What cameras need
A camera needs light to record clear detail and colour. In low light it switches to infrared black and white, which loses detail like clothing colour and faces.
How a solar light helps
A light placed to cover the camera's view gives enough light for clearer pictures. The motion-sensor mode brightens just when someone is there, which is exactly when you need good footage.

Placement tips
Do not aim the light into the lens. Mount it beside or above the camera, lighting the scene in front of it.
Get both
If you need CCTV as well as lights, we install both. Ask us about CCTV installation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the light confuse the camera?
If the light points into the lens it can. Place it to the side.
Is infrared enough?
Infrared works, but colour footage with light is more useful as evidence.
