With an exposure time of up to one second you will be able to view the smallest details. It's ideal for twilight situations. The luminance histogram shows you the brightness level in real-time. Zoom in inconspicuously using the 10x digital Live Zoom - and shoot your photos. You've naturally got many different color filters to choose from. The most important functions are: - Three amplification modes - Up to 1 second * exposure time - Residual light amplification - True low light enhancement - Real-time luminance histogram - Volume Up (+) Photo Capture - 10x digital live zoom - Tap to focus - Color filters: green, red, blue, b/w, sepia, etc. - Take HD photos - Landscape and portrait modes - Supports the front & back cameras - Supports LED lights - Supports EXIF-data *) only on supported devices A good camera and a powerful processor are required, to get the maximum picture quality. All the screenshots listed were taken with an iPhone and iPad and are genuine! Please note that this app does not provide true night vision functionality. The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have no infrared amplifier, as a result no pictures can be taken in total darkness; a minimal level of light is still required, which can be ascertained by the camera's sensors. The preview will also be delayed in exposure mode. In addition the camera must be held stable for exposure time. ---------------------------- Follow us: http://twitter.com/CLIDOapps Visit us: http://www.clidoapps.com - Subscription Terms: https://www.clidoapps.com/app/iap/ios/nighteyes Privacy Policy: https://www.clidoapps.com/app/privacy/ios/nighteyes Terms and Conditions: https://www.clidoapps.com/app/tac/ios/nighteyes

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Night Eyes at 4.4 against TopInfrared's 3.5. Night Eyes also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 52) and review sentiment (65% vs 40%). TopInfrared's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
