ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Day and night camera

A day and night camera is like a pair of glasses that helps them see better when it’s really dark outside. During the day, the camera can take pictures and videos like any other camera so you can see everything pretty clearly. But when it starts to become dark outside, the camera has a special trick that makes it work even better. It has a special kind of lens that can capture more light which allows it to see better. Imagine it like turning on a flashlight in a dark room.

So, when it’s nighttime, the camera can switch to a special mode that uses this special lens to capture more light. This makes everything on the screen, even in the dark or poorly lit areas, appear clearer and brighter. It’s like having a magic wand that can make the dark brighter. The camera can even tell when it’s getting dark outside and switch to this special mode all by itself, so you don’t have to worry about it.
