Night Vision Security Cameras

To enable night vision for your eufy IP & PoE cameras, open the eufy Security app. Go to Camera Settings > Video Settings > Auto Night Vision and toggle it on. Once activated, your night vision security camera, like the Indoor Cam S350, will automatically switch to night vision mode whenever the surrounding light is too low.

If night vision isn't working, first confirm that Auto Night Vision is enabled in the app. Check that the light sensor of your security cameras with night vision isn't obstructed or dirty, and ensure the environment is dark enough. If the IR lights fail to activate, your security camera or NVR security system may require servicing or replacement.

Poor night vision may stem from dirty lenses, poor placement, or weak IR reflection. For instance, the eufy SoloCam S340 delivers crisp 3K clarity, but like other wireless outdoor cameras with night vision, it still requires a clear, unobstructed view to maintain sharp images in low-light environments.

Dark night vision can happen when infrared LEDs are blocked, disabled, or reflecting off glass. Many eufy security cameras with night vision, like the eufy SoloCam E42 2-Cam Kit, work best when mounted away from reflective surfaces and placed in open areas with minimal obstructions to allow IR illumination to function properly.

Yes, eufy offers many advanced night vision security cameras that support color recording, like the eufyCam S3 Pro. With MaxColor Vision™ technology, they capture vibrant, full-color footage even in low-light conditions, making nighttime security far more detailed and reliable.

1. Open the eufy Security app.
2. Select your indoor or outdoor CCTV camera with night vision and go to Camera Settings.
3. Navigate to Video Settings or Video Quality.
4. Locate the Night Vision options.
5. Choose from:
Black & White IR – for standard infrared night vision.
Color – for vivid color night vision (uses spotlight or advanced sensors).
Off – to disable night vision entirely.

Yes. Modern night vision CCTV cameras can capture clear footage even in complete darkness using infrared (IR) LEDs that illuminate the area invisibly to the human eye. For example, the eufyCam S3 Pro uses advanced IR night vision to ensure sharp, detailed images.

The viewing range of a night vision camera typically spans 30 to 100 feet or more, depending on the model and conditions. Factors such as the strength of the IR illuminators, lens quality, image sensor sensitivity, and surrounding lighting all influence how far a camera can see clearly at night.

An IR camera relies on infrared light to capture images in low-light or dark conditions, while a night vision camera may use IR, low-light sensors, or both to enhance visibility. Essentially, all IR cameras offer night vision, but not all night vision cameras depend solely on IR illumination.

In eufy’s collection, the eufyCam S3 Pro stands out as one of the best night vision security cameras. It features multiple night vision modes, like MaxColor Vision, Adaptive Spotlight, and Infrared Night Vision, each optimized for different lighting conditions. Also, the sharp 4K imaging lets you identify license plates clearly up to 30 feet away, even in near darkness.
