The SIONYX night vision sensor and advanced optics deliver long-range visibility that extends as far as the eye can see in lighting conditions where traditional security cameras fail. Unlike infrared night vision systems that produce black and white images, our color night vision technology maintains full color reproduction even in near-total darkness.
Mountable or handheld operation
Surveillance professionals typically deploy SIONYX cameras either as handheld monoculars for mobile operations or mount them strategically to stream the night vision signal back to tablets and monitoring stations out of sight. The flexible mounting options include standard 1/4"-20 camera mounts for tripods and custom surveillance setups.
Built for all weather conditions
All SIONYX night vision surveillance cameras feature IP67 water-resistant construction, ensuring reliable performance in challenging outdoor environments. Rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures won't compromise your surveillance operations.

Using the SIONYX Aurora Night Vision for Professional Surveillance Applications.
Advanced Night Vision Technology - Aurora
SIONYX Aurora night vision surveillance cameras represent a breakthrough in covert security technology, delivering capabilities that surpass traditional infrared cameras. Our proprietary XQE sensor technology provides up to 10X better sensitivity compared to standard camera sensors, enabling clear color images in conditions as low as 0.001 Lux (moonless starlight).
Aurora's low-profile, nondescript form factor looks like an everyday camera while automatically adjusting settings to optimize performance from twilight conditions through complete darkness.
Professional Surveillance Applications - OPSIN
Modern surveillance operations require reliable hands-free equipment that performs consistently during active operations. SIONYX OPSIN night vision surveillance cameras excel in law enforcement and investigative team applications requiring situational awareness without operational compromise.
Law enforcement operations benefit from helmet-mounted, hands-free use during active surveillance missions while supporting low-light and no-light documentation.
Enhanced Security Features - NightScan
SIONYX NightScan is a ruggedized, low-light IP surveillance camera designed for demanding unmanned security applications. Powered by our proprietary XQE-1350/1351 CMOS sensor, it delivers clear 720p imagery in full-color and monochrome, even approaching total darkness without active infrared illumination.
The system supports remote operation through Power over Ethernet (PoE) or local battery power, integrating directly with military radio systems for wireless video feeds and automated motion-detection alerting.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do SIONYX cameras compare to traditional infrared security cameras?
Unlike conventional infrared night vision systems that produce monochrome green or white images, SIONYX cameras deliver full color night vision in darkness. Traditional IR cameras require infrared LEDs for illumination, which can be detected by sophisticated criminals. SIONYX cameras operate passively, making them ideal for covert surveillance while providing superior image quality for identification purposes.
What range can I expect for surveillance applications?
SIONYX night vision surveillance cameras provide effective monitoring ranges comparable to daytime visibility conditions. In optimal ambient light scenarios, the cameras can identify targets and capture important details at distances of several hundred feet. For complete darkness situations, external IR illuminators can extend the effective range while maintaining the cameras' stealth advantages.
Are these cameras suitable for indoor surveillance?
Yes, Aurora cameras excel in indoor surveillance applications. The compact design makes them ideal for discreet placement in offices, warehouses, and other commercial spaces. The cameras automatically adjust to varying lighting conditions, from bright indoor environments to dimly lit areas.
How does the video recording compare to professional security systems?
Aurora cameras record in HD 720p with audio capture, meeting professional standards for evidence collection. The video quality surpasses many traditional security camera systems, especially in low-light conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Regular maintenance requirements are minimal compared to complex multi-camera security systems.
Can these cameras integrate with existing security systems?
SIONYX cameras offer flexible integration options for existing surveillance infrastructure. While they operate independently with their smartphone app and wireless connectivity, the video output can be incorporated into larger security networks. The compact form factor and wireless capabilities make them excellent additions to traditional wired camera installations for enhanced coverage in challenging lighting conditions.
