Night Vision Professional Camcorders

Choosing the Right Professional Camcorders with Night Vision

You love taking video at night, whether it's at a midnight pool party or while watching fireworks for the Fourth of July, but in cases like these, you may need a camcorder with specialized features like infrared abilities that help you to capture clear, crisp video even when it's completely dark. For professional or everyday use, you'll find that numerous choices are available.

What Are Some Features of Camcorders?

Not only are these cameras equipped with night vision, but they offer a bevy of other benefits that can enhance your videos.

• Digital zoom lets you get up close to your subject, and some cameras offer up to 100x zoom ability for really honing in on those fine details of your subject. There are also cameras that feature wide-angle lenses.
• An LCD screen gives you a larger area to look at instead of just peering into a tiny viewfinder. They vary in size with some measuring 2 or 3 inches.
• Sports-style cameras have a more rugged appearance and may keep your camera safe from water, dirt, dust, and other debris so you can take it with you to the beach or on a bike ride.

What Should You Consider When Purchasing a Camcorder?

Buying any type of electronic device requires taking certain factors into consideration and weighing which features are most important along with thinking about other factors that can enhance your video creating and recording experience.

• Decide which type of media format you want to use. There are night-vision camcorders that use everything from microSD cards to store footage to miniDVs. You can choose from external (a removable disc, card, or tape) or internal (HDD or SSD) storage types as well.
• How sharp, crisp, and detailed do you want your videos to be? You'll need to pick a resolution, which ranges from high definition and standard definition to ultra-high-definition 4K resolution.
• Consider which ports and inputs you need, because these are used to hook your camcorder up to other media sources like your TV so you can share your video on the big screen. Inputs include HDMI and USB, among others.

What Are Some Available Camcorder Brands?

You can shop by features, types, models, or brands when you're looking for a camera with night vision and infrared capabilities, and there are a few brands to consider.
