Night Vision is an app that enables photo and video capture in complete darkness, leveraging the LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth camera technology on iPhone and iPad. Unlike other night vision apps, it uses the device's built-in depth sensors to scan the surroundings, delivering genuine night vision imagery that far surpasses the simulated effects of standard camera filters. Features: - Multiple camera modes: Freely switch between LiDAR, TrueDepth sensor, and standard camera modes for dark exploration, close-up viewing, and everyday shooting - Imaging Mode: Switch between 2D Plane, 3D Spatial, and Object Outlines to view depth in the way that best fits the scene - Photo and video capture: Take LiDAR night vision photos or record LiDAR night vision videos with one tap, then save them to the system Photos library - 3D Night Vision: Visualize spatial structure through point cloud imaging, with support for rotating and zooming to inspect 3D outlines in the dark - Distance measurement: Measure the distance between the target and your device in real time to better understand object position and spatial depth - Live streaming: Stream the night vision view in real time to Apple Watch, phones, tablets, and computers so you can monitor the scene anytime How It Works: In well-lit environments, the app combines imaging from the rear standard camera with LiDAR/TrueDepth sensors to enhance image quality. In complete darkness, only the LiDAR scanner or TrueDepth camera is used to generate images, ensuring clear night vision without the need for external light. Supported Devices: Compatible with all iPhones and iPads equipped with a LiDAR scanner or Face ID.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Night Vision at 4.1 against Midnight Video Camera's 2.7. Night Vision also leads on ratings volume (517 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Midnight Video Camera's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (44% vs 35%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Night Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Vision has 517 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Midnight Video Camera's written reviews are positive against 35% of Night Vision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Midnight Video Camera ships an update every 6 weeks, Night Vision fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
