Illuminator, 940nm, Short Range

The Illuminator, 940nm, Short Range is a compact infrared lighting solution designed to enhance night-time surveillance with covert visibility. Operating at 940 nanometers, this IR illuminator provides discreet lighting that is invisible to the human eye while delivering sharper, more reliable imagery for cameras in near-dark conditions. Its short-range beam concentrates energy precisely where cameras need it, reducing spill, glare, and noise in the captured video. A versatile diffuser lens kit is included, offering interchangeable beam patterns that adapt to a variety of installation scenarios—from doorway surveillance and hallway monitoring to camera housings and ceiling mounts. Whether deployed indoors or outdoors, this illuminator is crafted to deliver consistent performance, helping security professionals, business owners, and home surveillance enthusiasts achieve clearer night footage without drawing attention to the lighting itself.

• Covert infrared illumination for discreet night surveillance: The 940nm wavelength is invisible to the naked eye while boosting camera sensitivity in low light. This means you gain clearer, higher-contrast images without introducing visible light that could alert subjects or draw attention. Ideal for security patrols, retail monitoring, and residential surveillance where discretion matters.
• Short-range beam for focused coverage: The compact design concentrates infrared energy within a targeted area, delivering excellent illumination precisely where your camera is looking. By reducing spill into adjacent spaces, it enhances image clarity, minimizes reflections from glass and moisture, and supports more consistent night-time performance in tight installation environments.
• Interchangeable diffuser lenses for beam customization: Included diffuser lenses let you tailor beam patterns to your mounting height, camera angle, and scene requirements. Swap diffusers to switch from narrow, high-intensity coverage to broader, uniform illumination, ensuring optimal performance across doors, corridors, storefronts, and ceiling-mounted cameras.
• Improved image quality with lower noise and bitrate: Targeted IR illumination reduces sensor noise and lowers the bitrate needed for video compression. Expect crisper, more usable footage in dark environments, improved feature visibility, and more efficient storage and bandwidth usage—benefits that scale with longer retention and smoother playback across CCTV and IP camera systems.
• Rugged, adaptable design for indoor/outdoor use: Built for reliability, the illuminator features a compact, durable form factor that mounts easily near cameras. It performs across typical environmental conditions, with materials chosen to withstand temperature variations, dust, and humidity. Easy installation and secure operation make it suitable for a wide range of security installations, from small business locations to larger facilities.
