Pet cameras are a new generation of smart pet gadgets, allowing pet owners to keep an eye on their furry friends. However, what if night falls and your pet camera can’t find your furry friends? Then, you need a pet camera with night vision.
Why is night vision important in a pet camera?
Many pets are more active at night or in low light, such as cats’ nocturnal wanderings or dogs’ late-night adventures. A pet camera with night vision can capture clear footage in low light or complete darkness, helping pet owners monitor their pets around the clock.
Pet owners on extended business trips or outings can use night vision pet cameras to monitor their pets’ behavior and health in real time, day or night. The night vision feature of a pet camera not only helps you record your pet’s unique nocturnal behavior but also provides a nighttime safety check.
Night vision pet cameras with two-way audio and treat-dropping capabilities can also help owners soothe their pets late at night, reducing anxiety caused by being alone. Treat-based games can quickly motivate pets and make interactions more enjoyable.
Which night vision pet camera should I choose?
When purchasing a pet camera with night vision, priority should be given to night vision quality, range and field of view, automatic night vision switching, installation and portability, cost, and subscription fees.
Pet cameras offer two types of night vision: infrared and full-color.
Infrared night vision, also known as black and white, uses infrared LEDs to capture black and white images in darkness. It is relatively inexpensive and suitable for most scenarios.
Full-color night vision utilizes low-light enhancement technology or a fill light to provide color images with greater detail, even in extremely dim conditions.
Night Vision Image Resolution of Pet Cameras
The image resolution of pet cameras reflects image clarity and directly impacts monitoring effectiveness. Typical night vision resolutions for pet cameras are 720p, 1080p, 2K, or higher. The higher the resolution, the richer the night vision details.
Night Vision Range and Field of View
Cat cameras, dog cameras, and pet cameras are generally placed indoors. The camera’s field of view and angle determine the monitoring coverage. Pet cameras with night vision typically have a range of 5-10 meters. Wide-angle lenses (120°-360°) and pan/tilt heads (with pan/tilt support) are preferred to further expand the night vision range.
Automatic Night Vision Switching
High-quality pet cameras are equipped with light sensors that automatically switch to night vision mode based on ambient light. This feature ensures uninterrupted monitoring without manual adjustment. The Dokoo dog camera, for example, supports this feature.
Ease of Installation and Use
Night vision cameras should be easy to set up and operate, and provide detailed setup instructions. Indoor pet monitoring cameras typically require a fixed location and rely on continuous charging, a stable Wi-Fi connection, remote control, and real-time night vision viewing.
Cost and Long-Term Maintenance
The price of night-vision pet cameras varies depending on features and brand. The primary value of a night-vision pet camera lies in its night vision quality. High-end full-color night-vision cameras typically cost $100-200, while black-and-white night-vision cameras can be as low as $50.
Secondly, cloud storage subscriptions, battery replacements, and long-term maintenance fees are also necessary and long-term expenses. Opting for a pet camera with free cloud storage is more cost-effective, such as the Dokoo Pet Camera’s 24-hour free cloud storage.
