Infrared security cameras allow a security camera to see in little to no light. Infrared security cameras have infrared lights installed around the camera lens. This allows pictures taken in low light to appear as bright as they would be in the sun.

Bullet security cameras are a common type of infrared security camera. They usually have the infrared LED lights installed in the factory, and as such are already set up to work with the camera. These range of sight for these infrared security cameras is 25 feet in absolute darkness, longer if there is dim light. Dome cameras have to have the infrared lighting installed, but also make good infrared security cameras.

C-Mount security cameras are generally considered to be a poor choice to make into infrared security cameras, because of the outdoor camera housing the security camera needs to be installed in. The camera housing reflects the infrared lighting, ruining the picture.

Infrared security cameras record the images they take at night in black and white. Some infrared security cameras record heat signatures instead of actual pictures, but these are considered less useful than an infrared security camera that captures images when trying to identify a criminal.
