Illuminator, 850nm, long range
Introducing the Illuminator, 850nm, long range — a purpose-built infrared lighting solution designed for professional security and surveillance systems. Engineered to empower night-time imaging, this IR illuminator delivers covert or semi-covert illumination that extends the effective range of cameras, reduces image noise, and lowers bitrate for clearer, more actionable footage. Whether deployed indoors or outdoors, in perimeter protection, parking lots, warehouses, or critical facilities, this illuminator helps cameras see farther with greater detail while remaining discreet. The versatility of interchangeable diffuser lenses means you can tailor beam patterns to match camera placement, field of view, and target zones, providing precise coverage where it matters most.
- Covert or semi-covert infrared illumination for long-range surveillance, enabling clear night-time captures without drawing attention.
- 850 nanometer IR wavelength optimizes camera sensitivity in low light while remaining invisible to the unaided eye, enhancing night vision performance.
- Interchangeable diffuser lenses allow you to select beam patterns that fit your installation — from wide-area coverage to focused spot illumination for distant targets.
- Improves image quality at night by boosting illumination where cameras struggle, reducing grain, noise, and video bitrate for smoother streaming and storage efficiency.
- Built to support both indoor and outdoor deployments with robust construction and straightforward integration into existing surveillance setups.

How to install Illuminator, 850nm, long range
- Plan placement: Identify a mounting location with clear line-of-sight to the target area and minimal obstruction, ensuring the diffuser lenses can be aligned with the camera’s field of view.
- Power connection: Connect to a suitable power source compatible with your security system’s DC requirements. Verify voltage and current specifications before energizing.
- Mounting: Secure the illuminator to a stable mounting surface or to a compatible camera rig using standard hardware. Ensure the unit is oriented to maximize distance coverage without shading the camera lens.
- Optics configuration: Install the diffuser lenses appropriate for the scene. Swap lenses to shift beam width and intensity according to distance and target area.
- System testing: Power on the setup after installation. Assess the illumination at night, adjust aim, and verify that the beam pattern covers intended zones without causing glare or overexposure on the camera sensor.
- Maintenance checks: Periodically inspect mounting integrity, lens cleanliness, and connector security to maintain optimal performance.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the purpose of the 850nm wavelength?
A: The 850nm infrared light is chosen to maximize camera sensitivity in low-light conditions while remaining invisible to the naked eye, resulting in clearer night-time imagery without visible illumination.
Q: Can I customize the beam pattern?
A: Yes. The illuminator ships with interchangeable diffuser lenses that enable you to select beam patterns for wide-area coverage or focused illumination, helping you tailor the setup to your specific camera placement and scene requirements.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?
A: The illuminator is designed for long-range surveillance in both indoor and outdoor environments. It supports varying weather and lighting conditions, provided installation and mounting are performed to protect electrical connections and optics.
Q: Will using this IR illuminator reduce my camera's noise and bitrate?
A: By providing additional infrared illumination in low-light scenarios, the illuminator helps cameras operate with stronger signal and lower ISO settings, which can reduce image noise and lower bitrate while preserving detail in important regions of the scene.
Q: How do I choose the right diffuser lens?
A: Consider your distance to the target, camera field of view, and the area you want to illuminate. A wider beam is suited for broad coverage, while a narrower beam targets distant objects with greater intensity. Start with the default wide pattern and adjust based on real-world test results.
