I would say interested with a significant quantity of reservations. I do not think our clients would react well. The cheap near invisible IR was a bit easier for them to stomach the faint red glow. White light seems more like a garage door emergency light in terms of annoyance... but it does add some possible deterence effect.

Sony has white lights on their bullet camera.

When would the IR cut filter be engaged/disengaged?
What does the day/night transition depend upon?

I saw this at ISC West, there was a booth I can't recall that was showing this as add'on to cameras....
I also saw this as an add on to Umbo Bullet cameras of which they are calling "Torchlight."
I think this could become more prevalent as many chinese manufacturers I know already are planning this.
For residential I could see this as hugely annoying. Maybe not so much for non resi.
However whats the difference between this and motion lights? Good deterrence?

We'd be interested if a Korean or European manufacture added white lights.

I like the idea ... if ONE DAY we will have some cameras registered in Milestone which have ALSO white light available that would be useful for a number of scenarios.
The key would be that the camera is as good with IR only as they are now and that the WL part is 1. automatically turned on smart enough and 2. easily controlled in a good VMS for system wide scenarios ( I like the idea of Hikua cameras on Milestone system ) . I am sure Hik can deliver on 1 eventually and I guess 2 is quite easy already.
I remember FLIR has announced a super special dome that had white light also ?

I’m not sure I’ve the value of this tbh. I guess if you need white light, this will keep the cost down vs buying external IR. But I’ve never thought this was needed before. I voted modestly.

Color footage at night is the future of surveillance. There is so much clothing that is IR reflective that you can get a suspect on camera looking like he's wearing all white, when in fact he's wearing all black and the clothing is reflecting the IR. Positive ID is much more difficult that way and someone live-monitoring a feed is unable to give police or security an accurate description of what the perp is wearing, or worse yet give them wrong information and the police pass by the suspect because the clothing description doesn't match.
I switched to Darkfighters at my house specifically for this purpose. I once caught some little punk trying to break into my vehicle and the IR made his jacket look white. By the time I got dressed and ran out of the house he had gone around the corner and I lost sight of him. I did catch up with an individual who matched the description except he was wearing all black. So is this the same guy?

I've had partners controlling white lighting on projects as a deterrent through either Mobotix cameras with I/O and relay controls to the light or an intelligent lamp like a Raytec to great success. Being able to add visual response with logic is a huge capability if you understand what can be done with it.
The problem, same with IR, is hot spotting and washout with cheap LEDs. Low cost cameras are going to return low cost results, but hopefully more brands start adding white light to products.
