  • Black and White vs. Colored Images

    Monochrome or black and white cameras are generally cheaper than colored cameras. In addition, they create the best images in low-lit areas making them ideal for outdoor night surveillance.

    Color cameras are ideal for sensitive locations since they are perfect for capturing positive identification of intruders like color of clothes or hair. Besides, they offer better images in well-lit locations.
