Profile:
What a tiny powerhouse! The 430+ horizontal TV lines / 0.05 lux creates a sharp picture capable of performing in ZERO light conditions. With a newly revised 1/3" Sony® SuperHAD® DSP (digital signal processing) CCD imager chipset.
This truly illuminates up to 50 feet in pitch dark conditions. Many lookalike models can barely illuminate past 10-12 feet! With a built-in photocell and smart light-sensing circuitry, this saves use of IR illuminators until they are actually necessary. Using the high output LED emitters only when necessary adds a lot of time to their overall effective life.
Common Applications:
• Reliable indoor and outdoor security solutions for areas which have very little to NO light present
• Wildlife viewing and research
• Equestrian foaling as remote barn cameras
• OEM & scientific / machine purposes
Available Options:
Includes removable sun / rain shade and metal 360 degree swivel mounting kit FREE with each camera ordered.
Includes DELUXE 7 piece bonus accessory kit FREE with each camera ordered! ($60+ value) Features 25 ft. video + power cable which can be upgraded to 50', 100' or even 150' in your choice of black or white color!
*These are available with additional or alternate lenses. We will custom remove the normally included 3.6mm lens & replace with your desired lens, including focal adjustment, for $9.95- simply note that you want lens installation in notes when ordering the camera(s) and lens(es). Having our qualified technicians do it allows you to maintain full factory warranty- and can avoid a lot of other headaches.
Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:
For daytime color and nighttime-only IR, try our IR-5HAD20, IR-5HAD30 or IR-5EX instead.
Cautions:
Wide angle lenses may capture more video in the frame than is actually being illuminated since IR emitters project their light at a set angle of emission.
Infrared cameras cannot be placed behind glass, etc. (i.e. inside a window). The camera "sees" the infrared light as if it were bright white light. When you place an infrared camera behind glass, the activated illuminators will create a visual halo around the picture as the illuminators are reflected back at the camera. Only certain types of filters will prevent this- such as the material built into the front face of the IR-5EX, IR-2HAD and IR-5HAD.
This camera is not submersible.
