Night Vision System

NIGHT VISION SYSTEM

Night vision systems enable drivers to see things that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to see at night. There are two categories of night vision implementations: Active night vision systems project infrared light, and passive systems rely on the thermal energy that comes from cars, animals, and other objects.

NIGHT DRIVE WITH EASE

The system uses a thermographic camera to increase a driver's perception and seeing distance in darkness or poor weather beyond the reach of the vehicle's headlights. Such systems are offered as optional equipment on certain premium vehicles.

There are two categories of automotive night vision: passive and active. Passive systems use thermal cameras that illuminate the heat radiating off objects, animals, and people. Active systems use infrared light sources to illuminate darkness.


Both active and passive night vision systems rely on the infrared light spectrum that is invisible to the naked eye. They each have their own benefits and drawbacks.

PASSIVE

WHAT IT DOES:

  • Uses thermographic cameras to detect thermal radiation.
  • Great for revealing vehicles, animals, people, and other "thermal" objects.

PROS:

  • Good at revealing people, animals, and other vehicles.
  • Higher visible range than active night vision.

CONS:

  • Not very good at revealing inanimate objects like rocks or barriers.
  • Less effective in warm weather.

ACTIVE

WHAT IT DOES:

  • Uses infrared light to illuminate darkness.
  • Reveals objects that are much farther away than headlights can see.

PROS:

  • Image quality generally better than passive night vision.
  • Can illuminate objects that are farther away than headlights can reach.

CONS:

  • Does not work well in poor weather conditions, like snow and hail.
