Profile:

What a tiny powerhouse! Don't confuse this with most similar looking cameras you'll see out there- many of which are have terrible picture quality and WEAK illuminators. The technical specifications (specs) make it sound like so many others - but the performance beats the numbers on this one. The DUAL imaging 380+ horizontal TV lines / 0.5 lux cam has an overall sharper picture capable of performing in lower light situations than many large 'high resolution' 480 line cameras in side-by-side comparisons for true visual clarity and color. With a newly revised 1/3" Sony® SuperHAD® DSP (digital signal processing) CCD imager chipset- this features a great picture in color or black and white.

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.

We carry ONLY the LATEST and BEST in CCTV chipset technology and circuit board engineering (both aspects are critical to produce a high quality CCD camera)! Too many in our industry are still liquidating 'antiques' on an unsuspecting public, often even unaware themselves that better technology exists.

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.

*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 ask operator for part # LENS-SVC when ordering the camera(s) and lens(es).

Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:

For a more economical application, use our #PIR-2HAD instead. The PIR-2HAD is same size and has identical illumination range, but does black & white (monochrome) video only.

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.
