It started with people trying car doors...
Nothing had been taken, but over a couple of weeks there had been reports along the same street. Door handles tried late at night. Someone moving between driveways. A figure disappearing down the alley behind the houses.
So the owner of one of the semis had cameras fitted.
One covered the drive. The other looked across the back garden towards the side gate and the alley beyond.
They wanted colour at night. Not just a grey silhouette, but the colour of a coat, trainers, a car at the end of the road. Something useful if it happened again.
And it worked.
But a few nights later - a problem appeared.
To produce that colour image, the rear camera's white light was illuminating the patio, most of the lawn and the conifers along the fence.
It was also clearing the six foot fence into next door.
Their conservatory came almost to the boundary. Directly above it was their son's bedroom.
At 11pm, with everything else in darkness, the light was hard to miss.
A few nights later there was a knock at the door.
The neighbours understood why the cameras were there.
They just didn't want a white light shining across the back of their house every night.
So what do you do?
Turn the light off and lose some of the colour detail you wanted.
Leave it on and keep lighting up next door.
Or use a camera that doesn't need to rely on it.
That's where Uniview OwlView Plus comes in.
Its large sensor, wide aperture and Wise ISP low light processing are designed to produce full colour images in extremely low light, without relying on supplemental white light.
The garden stays dark.
The bedroom next door stays dark.
But you can still see the lawn, fence line, side gate and whoever is walking through it.
And the same problem exists on commercial jobs too. Pub car parks next to houses. Industrial units backing onto residential streets. Shops with flats above them.
You still need useful footage.
You just don't always want to light up everything around it.
Uniview OwlView Plus. See what's happening at night, without turning night into day.
