DAWO 0 Posted April 15, 2012 Hi, I have been told that the color temperature is important when choosing light sources to light up areas that your cctv camera monitors. So in order to buy some outdoor light that will light up my façade of our house, I wonder if there is any “ideal” color temperature for a VidoeIQ camera that I should look for when choosing lamps? Some say that around 3 800 Kelvin is good for digital HD cameras. These lights will be switched on using motion detectors during the night if someone enters our garden. And hopefully this alone will deter some intruders. But will the sudden change in lighting also affect the VideoIQ camera in a negative way? Like that with this sudden change in light, it will take some time to re-adjust to this new level? Would it perhaps be better NOT to add extra lights to light up the house façade, and instead add some ir-lights directed from the camera towards our house?
