The police and military require optimum visual conditions for the purpose of observation and orientation and to help identify dangers.

Very particular conditions apply to video recording in the dark. Highly sensitive cameras can still provide good images, even in difficult light conditions. However, even these have technical limits. By using laser illumination systems, the performance of cameras can be significantly improved, and use is possible even in complete darkness. The laser illumination is available in various configurations. This means that for example illumination over large distances is possible, and illumination with lasers that cannot be detected with conventional cameras.
