Image Clarity in Low Light Environments
Without sufficient light, you may end up with grainy images and incorrect colors. Having cameras that deliver clear, crisp images regardless of lighting helps security and operations personnel do their jobs more effectively.
Cuts Through Glare & Reflections
It can be hard to see details when bright lights distort images of people and property. Having cameras that dynamically optimize exposure settings to capture details in parking lots, city streets, schools, college campuses, and construction sites takes the guesswork out of investigations.
3D Noise Filtering
Traditional noise filtering uses temporal noise reduction, which compares one frame to the next and removes data (noise) that doesn’t match. Pelco cameras enhance traditional noise filtering technology by incorporating spatial noise reduction (SNR). SNR gathers information from previous frames to calculate and form a model that removes noise from the current frame without degrading the critical details in a scene. The result is an image that is clearer, sharper, and noise-free. With a cleaner signal than comparable technologies, Pelco’s 3D noise filtering also requires less storage space.
How It Works
In this example, you can compare the low-light performance of an LL/WDR security camera (left photo) and a Pelco SureVision camera (right photo). At 2.0 lux, both cameras were running at 30 fps with equivalent settings.
Low-Light Conditions
The ability to see detail and color in the dark is one of the most important aspects of a security camera. There are many technical factors that influence this ability, such as sensitivity of the image sensor, speed of the lens, and the applied image processing. SureVision optimizes Pelco’s proprietary imaging pipeline to preserve detail and color-delivering in images, even at extreme low-light levels.
High risk areas stay protected
For areas where people and property are at high risk, making sure video surveillance is uninterrupted can save lives. Schools, retail stores, municipal buildings and other high risk areas benefit from vandal- resistant cameras that are designed to withstand direct blows to their housings and lens covers without breaking and without interrupting the video.
Vandals also find it next-to-impossible to open the camera’s housing to do damage or make any kind of alteration. When an attempt is made to obscure the camera’s view, like spray painting, covering or moving the camera, the camera tamper detection analytics send an alarm to security personnel.

Use Cases
Casinos around the world need intelligent IP video security solutions to help decrease fraud, control liability issues,comply with regulations, and ensure customer safety expectations are met. From the flashing lights of slot machines to low lights in parking areas, extreme lighting conditions require video cameras designed to adapt automatically. Pelco cameras allow you to stay compliant with industry regulations while protecting your employees, customers, cash and property.
A robust network of video cameras and analytical tools is essential for keeping airport operations running smoothly. Exterior areas – from perimeter to parking lots to hangers – often have extreme light and dark sections in the same scene. The same is true inside the terminal, where glare from windows intersects with dimly lit corridors and corners. Having video cameras that automatically balance colors and images for clarity keep airport security and operations staff alert to suspicious activity and people flow issues.
Keeping traffic flowing 24/7/365 requires cameras that can adapt to all lighting conditions. Traffic managers need to be able to monitor vehicles and pedestrians through bright sunlight, glare, low lights, shade, and darkness. Having clear, crisp images in all lighting conditions in order to respond to traffic flow challenges, accidents, and weather-related issues is essential. Pelco cameras also feature video analytics that alert operators of accidents and hazardous conditions to ensure rapid responses .
