What is IR Illumination?  Active or near infra-red (NIR) is energy invisible to the human eye but can seen by high  quality black/white or true day/night cameras. IR illuminators are an ideal source of illumination for security cameras for the following reasons:

• It is invisible to the human eye but visible to black/white and true day/night cameras, which makes it ideal as a covert or semi covert form of illumination
• Because it is invisible to the human eye it does not create the problem of light pollution
• It has a longer range than visible light due to the higher wavelength
• 850nm: Semi-Covert (faint red glow visible on the illuminator only, no visible light)
• 940nm: Covert (no visible glow from illuminator, ideal for high security applications)
