In darkness and fog: AUMOVIO cameras provide clearer vision and enhanced safety in poor visibility

• AI-powered camera system improves driving in all lighting conditions
• Optimized hardware for good visibility in challenging weather conditions complements night vision system
• Camera technology uses infrared light for better image data
• AUMOVIO is among the leaders in robust, high-performance automotive cameras

Frankfurt, Germany, December 2, 2025. With the onset of the cold season come fog, snow and rain. For drivers, this often means poor visibility and added stress behind the steering wheel. At the same time, central control units are dependent on accurate environmental data. Technology and electronics company AUMOVIO is now delivering better visibility in adverse conditions – especially fog, rain and darkness. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, the company will present a new camera system that uses artificial intelligence to take usable image information in challenging light conditions to a new level in the automotive sector. Whether driving at night, navigating through spray on wet roads or reversing in a downpour, an all-weather camera ensures particularly sharp images and provides the vehicle’s on-board system with detailed data – helping drivers maneuver safely not only through fall and winter but all year round.

Demand for high-performance cameras is growing, driven in part by international institutions such as Euro NCAP, which increasingly emphasize driver assistance systems in new vehicles. These systems depend on sensors like cameras and radar to accurately detect and interpret traffic situations. Cameras, in particular, are essential for precise environmental recognition and for visualizing the vehicle’s surroundings in the cockpit – for example, during reverse parking. AUMOVIO’s new camera system delivers crystal-clear images even in rain or darkness, displaying the entire area around the vehicle on the cockpit display. The company is among the leaders in developing highly efficient camera systems for automotive applications.

With its night vision functionality, the new camera system is a customer-focused evolution of AUMOVIO’s high-performance cameras designed for difficult light and weather conditions. Developers leveraged the company’s extensive expertise in custom sensor systems, incorporating proven hardware components renowned for durability and reliability – critical advantages for demanding automotive environments.

The proven and modular camera portfolio, which allows easy integration of components such as lenses, image sensors, connectors, data transmission, and chip has now been enhanced with AI software. The AI is used on a central control unit for image processing. The camera algorithm optimizes contrasts and provides significantly more accurate data based on the camera images than is the case with conventional systems. Due to road traffic regulations, the area to the right and left of the vehicle must not be illuminated with visible light, but thanks to the algorithm-based integrated contrast enhancement, this area can now be captured a lot better. The camera system only illuminates the critical zones virtually for data acquisition by the central control unit, not in the real vehicle environment. This allows early detection of pedestrians or wildlife at the edge of dark roads, for example.
