Avigilon—LightCatcher™
Avigilon recently introduced LightCatcher™ technology to its camera line-up. Avigilon’s innovative LightCatcher technology provides one of the industry’s most effective ways to capture evidentiary color detail in extreme low-light environments. This new technology helps identify objects of interest more successfully in challenging lighting situations, such as restaurants, bars, hotels, parking lots and alleys. By increasing the amount of light and detail captured via the camera and decreasing the noise in the image, LightCatcher technology produces significantly more detail in color from a low-light scene than any other technology. This combination results in the ability to identify objects of interest more effectively. Cameras with the LightCatcher feature are available immediately worldwide.
