Ganz Black&White Great Quality CCTV Camera

So what are the advantages to black & white security cameras?1) Lower cost - Generally, B&W security cameras cost less due to the fact that they are easier/cheaper to manufacture than color cameras. There are exceptions since there are some very high quality B&W security cameras that cost more due to their exceptionally good light gathering ability in low-light conditions. However, as a general observation, most consumer oriented B&W surveillance cameras are lower priced than comparable color surveillance cameras.2) Brighter images in low-light conditions - On average B&W security cameras produce brighter images in low-light situations. This is not to say that some high quality color cameras won't be brighter than a cheaper B&W camera. You can get a color camera that is brighter than the B&W camera but you will pay more. The image sensor chips (such as the Sony Ex-View CCD) in those high-end color cameras that give a brighter night-vision image are more expensive to manufacture. However, if you compare a color and B&W camera of equal quality, the B&W will be brighter at night, because the color camera requires a special filter (which is imprinted over the sensor) that reduces the amount light reaching the CCD imaging sensor.3) Higher resolution - A B&W camera will generally have a higher resolution and therefore sharper image compared to a color camera in the same quality/price range. The reasons for this are technical in nature, but in a nutshell the color security camera needs to utilize more of the CCD sensor resources to pick up the three primary colors red/green/blue (RGB) as well as the intensity of light striking it at each pixel sensor, whereas the B&W security camera only sees varying degrees of light intensity (grey scale). Therefore, the CCD sensor in the B&W security camera is fully utilized to making an image and does not have to divert some of it's resources (pixel sensors) towards picking up color information.So while color security cameras are a great component of a surveillance system for day time situations, there are some advantages to B&W security cameras that should not be overlooked, particularly those involving low-light situations.
