looking for night vision camera

[techgiant]

I am looking for night vision camera.
Has anyone used it before?
Any suggestion?

Assuming you mean for video work, there are three basic types, which do you mean:
1. Zero lux cameras, usually needing very slow frame rates to allow enough photons to be detected. (fairly expensive)
2. Cameras with photomultipliers, expensive and monochrome only.
3. Cameras with IR floodlighting behind the lens. Very cheap, monochrome when in night mode, limited range (~25m max)

Yes, I am using it for video work. Its plan to use under a dark area.
May I ask what do you mean cameras with IR floodlighting behind the lens?
What is floodlighting means?

Floodlighting is another word for scene illumination. Like you illuminate an object in common photography, an IR light source is used for IR work.
