The technology improves the low light performance by 50% higher than the usual camera and to capture live color video in as low as 0.2 lux darkness. At below 0.2lux, the camera turns to True DN mode that displays B/W image with the IR illumination on automatic.

The lux value of the 0.2 may refer to the darkness level of a few hours later after the sunset. At this range, the human eye may recognize the scene in color. But for conventional cameras with a lack of low light sensitivity, it is the level that the camera cannot sense the colorful details at all, thus requiring an IR illumination even in a day.

The Starlux camera captures vivid colorful image for a longer period of time in a day while turning on B/W IR image only for a short period of the time at night.

The improvement of low light performance in color mode dramatically enhances the ability to acquire forensic evidence in dim light environments.

At below 0.2 lux, the image turns to B/W with IR on helping the camera to see through the total darkness.
