Infrared Night Vision Cameras are a helpful tool for hunters. Paranormal researchers can use them to catch more evidence. Humans can only see a small portion of the range of light. We can't see Ultraviolet (UV) or Infrared light (IR). People believe spirits appear in these light ranges, which we can't see. This is where the Infrared Camera comes in handy. These converted camcorders can see the apparitions. Allowing researchers to catch more evidence during ghost hunts. People believe more paranormal activity occurs when the lights are out. The converted camera enables you to film during those hours in the dark.

Ever had that feeling "someone" was with you in the attic? Or have you noticed "something" in the back garden that you swore resembled a woman?
You're not alone.
Paranormal activity is a lot more common than you think.
However, the reality is: The human eye can only see so far.
That's why when you want to explore the unnerving depths of the underworld, you only need one piece of ghosthunting gear: night vision cameras.
Infrared cameras offer a unique - and petrifying - perspective in low-lighting conditions, where the naked eye cannot see. This camera technology hones in on Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) light, bringing supernatural apparitions to life!
Whether you're a beginner heading out on your first ghosthunting adventure or a seasoned paranormal investigator - you'll want (and need!) one of our top-class, reliable infrared cameras by your side.
Night Vision Cameras: Your Eyes To The Spirit World
Before we dive headfirst into the world of spooky cameras, let's understand what infrared cameras do.
Ghost hunting often occurs in dimly lit and pitch-black environments.
Right?
The core mechanism behind night vision cameras lies in their ability to amplify existing light, even when levels are extremely low. This is achieved in several ways:
Infrared imaging: These cameras can detect small amounts of infrared light that are reflected off objects, allowing them to see in the dark. The process involves projecting a beam of near-infrared light, which is invisible to the naked eye, and then capturing the reflections to create visible images. This is also known as optoelectronic enhancement.
Low-light vision: Using a photocathode, these cameras convert incoming light particles (photons) into electrons inside a vacuum tube which strikes the microchannel plate. This process boosts the imagery signal, giving you a brighter, clearer image.
Thermal imaging: Paranormal phenomena are often associated with cold spots. Unlike traditional night vision, thermal imaging cameras don't rely on light but rather on heat signatures emitted by surrounding objects. Thermal technology works well in complete darkness, allowing you to "see" in the dark, such as in abandoned buildings or deep caves.
Now that we understand how these devices work, you can step into the shadows with newfound confidence and experience the thrill of luring ghostly beings into sight. With the help of modern-day technology, like infrared camcorders, you can witness what has never been seen before!
Why infrared cameras are a ghost hunter's best friend
Capture real-life paranormal activity on video.
Use the built-in microphone to detect faint auditory disturbances - modern night vision cameras are equipped with electronic voice phenomena devices (EVPs).
Expand your range of vision, seeing things you've never seen before.
Capture elusive wildlife and occult details from strategically positioned "security cameras" in spooky locations.
You can't put a price tag on this exhilarating experience!
Now we know you're frothing to get out there and zoom right into that ghost's nose, but let's quickly discuss what makes a good night vision camera.
Choosing The Right Infrared Camera
Beyond their practical applications, night vision cameras open doors to fascinating activities when the sun goes down.
Observe elusive wildlife in their natural habitat, use them as security cameras, navigate safely through dark environments, and hunt ghosts in a whole new way!
Embarking on a ghoul-seeking adventure isn't just about courage and curiosity; it's also about having the right tools and equipment to pierce through the darkness to capture evidence of the unknown.
With various options available, selecting a camera with the right features, SD card slot and filter all need to be considered.
Here's the breakdown:
Light level: Consider the environments where you'll be using your night vision camera, as some cameras are better equipped for low-lightning conditions than others. Look for cameras with white light and infrared illumination. More advanced models have "starlight imaging", capturing street or moonlight for maximum exposure.
Range: Infrared cameras have varying ranges, so choose one that suits the distance you need to see. A wide lens covers a wider field of view (FOV) and allows you to focus on a bigger area. A longer range allows you to see further into the distance.
Resolution: Higher resolution cameras provide sharper, clearer images and video - perfect for identifying creepy figures. Resolution quality is shown as pixels (p) on camera specifics. For instance, a low-res camera with 480 p is not ideal as they only provide 6.4 cm x 4.8 cm sized images. On the other hand, 1080 p (or higher) is better for larger images and videos.
Storage: Ensure cameras have an SD card slot so you can slip in a memory card for storage.
Mounting options: If you need to mount cameras on doors, walls or other surfaces, ensure these features are available on the camera you choose. These include tripods, mounting clips and brackets to ensure the camera is stable.
Other features: Some night vision cams offer additional features such as digital zoom, weatherproofing, and recording components.

How does the night vision camera work?
Standard cameras have an infrared light filter above or below the lens. This lens stops the camera from seeing infrared light. A converted camera has had this filter removed. And allows it to film in the dark with an infrared lamp.
Where can I buy a night vision camera?
We sell infrared cameras here at SpiritShack. We have one to suit every purpose, including ghost hunting, hunting, and more.
How do you make a night vision camera?
You can convert most cameras into infrared camcorders. To convert it, you need to remove the infrared filter. The filter is a thin glass or plastic screen which sits above or below the lens. The process involves dismantling the camera to get to the filter.
Why do ghost hunters use infrared video cameras?
Ghost hunters use infrared cameras for two reasons. Firstly, people believe spirits appear in the infrared light spectrum. Humans and standard cameras are not able to see this range of light. The infrared camera can see this spectrum and will pick up more spirits. Secondly, spirits come out more in the dark.
Can you see ghosts with an infrared camera?
Many claim to have captured apparitions using an infrared camera. You can find footage and evidence people have caught on the internet. However, the existence of spirits has yet to be backed by science.
