What is night vision? Night vision basically means that you have the ability to see in a dark environment or at night by using technology, biology or a combination of both. As humans we have a poor spectral range especially if we compare it to that of animals. At night it can take a person up to 40 minutes before they can see better in the dark. Our lack or night vision is easily explained as our eyes lack tapetum lucidum, which is a tissue layer in the eye. This tissue reflects light back through the retina which improves vision in low light conditions. Of course we can make up for this lack of night vision by simply purchasing a digital camcorder with night vision.
Infrared light is invisible to the human eye. This means it will not affect your night vision in any way. Infrared light works very well if you are searching for the paranormal. This is because colors can be seen in the infrared that are greatly different from visible light. For instance, if something is black in visible light, it will be bright white in infrared. However there are a few drawbacks when using a digital camcorder with night vision equipped with infrared or infrared filter. First, it can be difficult to illuminate a large area. They are also very sensitive to small particles of dust and pollen. On the bright side, if you are searching for the paranormal there is nothing that will work better than a digital camcorder with night vision, even if they does have a few flaws. Investigators believe that ghosts move very fast and whatever ghosts are composed of, is very sensitive to reflecting infrared light.
