Appendix F: The SCNC2607 sees too much pink and purple!
The SCNC2606 has an optical filter element in the lens to remove all infrared
light that cannot be seen by the human eye. This makes the remaining colors
look rich and natural to us because we see colors the exact same way.
However, in order to see in total darkness, the SCNC2607 does not remove IR
and therefore the SCNC2607 does not always see colors the way human eyes
do. Depending on the scenery and the amount of naturally occurring IR light,
the difference can be very slight, or there could be more of a pink / purple
emphasis, or the colors could appear subdued and almost black and white.
The daytime colors on the SCNC2607 cannot be corrected by choosing a
different setting. The only options are to use different lighting or to choose a
camera model with automatic IR filter, such as SCNC2700 or SCNC3600 series.
To summarize the capabilities and color vision of the different models:
SCNC2606: Natural daytime colors but no infrared (cannot see at night)
SCNC2607: Weaker daytime colors but can see at night in total darkness
SCNC2700 and all SCNC3600 outdoor models: Excellent day and night vision
Our top of the line cameras have an automatic IR filter for natural daytime
colors
and
IR night vision for the best in true day/night video performance.
