IR Illuminator Information
For IR systems to operate properly, they must contain the following components:
1. IR illuminator
2. IR sensitive camera (True Day/Night)
3. Day/Night lens (IR)
Tips For Optimum Performance
1. Match the horizontal view of your lens (FOV) to the illuminator field of illumination
2. Make sure the illuminator has enough power to reach the scene. We recommend -10% from the maximum distance rating of the illuminator. The camera, lens, and scene all have characteristics that can reduce the amount of IR being detected.
3. Use a CCD based camera if possible. Standard and Mega-Pixel CMOS based cameras can experience a considerable loss of distance when used with infrared illumination. Please call us if you have any questions about your application.
