Night Vision, Heat Maps, LIDAR, and Telescopic lenses can capture more of the world 'as it is' than humans could ever hope to achieve. It's why we developed them! :)
Cameras and their sensors are just different from the human eye. This doesn't make them capture reality "how it is", they just have different capabilities and they make different trade-offs. They are certainly different, but not necessarily "more real".
Cameras don't capture "reality".
