Santa night vision camera
Santa on night vision: the infrared shot that looks like real footage
Black and white, grainy, a soft glow from the tree lights: night vision footage looks like evidence. Upload a photo of your living room and get a night vision shot of Santa by your tree, as if a night camera caught him after bedtime.
Your first photo is free.


Why night vision looks so real
Kids have seen baby monitor and night camera footage. The grain and grey tones make the picture feel like a recording, not something someone made.
It also fits the story: Santa comes in the dark, while everyone is asleep.
Getting the best result
Take the photo in the evening with the room lights off and only the tree lights on. A darker photo matches the infrared look best.
Shoot from up high, where a monitor or camera would sit, and keep bright windows and screens out of the shot if you can.
How to make it
1. Upload your room photo and pick Night vision.
2. Check the Santa photo and download it.
3. Turn it into a five second video for the full night camera effect.
Other camera styles
If your photo is bright, Security cam keeps the colors and still looks like home CCTV. For the front door, try Doorbell cam.
Questions parents ask
Do I need a night vision camera?
No. A normal phone photo is enough. We give it the look of infrared night camera footage.
Can I use a daytime photo?
Yes, but a photo taken in the evening with the tree lights on gives the most convincing result.
Will Santa's face be clear?
He looks the way a night camera would see him: grainy and in grey tones. That is part of what makes it believable.
How much does it cost?
