A Starlight Surveillance Camera?

John Honovich

Is there such a thing as a starlight surveillance camera or is this simply a marketing term? If this a fancy term for slow shutter (like sens up http://ipvm.com/updates/1340) or is there some technological differentiator?

The US military used 'starlight rifle scopes' as early generation night vision scopes back in the 1970s. In the Vietnam era, these scopes were considered 'cutting edge tech' and as with many military implements, the moniker seeped out into the public lingo as identifying something really advanced. I do not know for a fact this lingo is coming into play here, but I do know that 'starlight' optics may strike a 'cool-factor' chord among some people.
