IR Illuminators provide IR light that enables true Day/Night day Security Cameras to capture clear images at night or in low-light. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye. True Day/Night security cameras are sensitive to IR light and can use it to capture images. Adding infrared light to a scene significantly improves the cameras performance in low light.

Solar-powered lighting harnesses energy from the sun’s rays through photovoltaic cells in solar panels. Throughout the day, this energy is accumulated and stored in a battery, which then powers the lights during nighttime. The duration of illumination, based on a single day’s solar charge, depends on the efficiency of the solar panels and the capacity of the battery storage.
In recent years, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology has revolutionized the lighting industry, offering a convenient and efficient solution for powering LED lights. If you’re considering setting up PoE LED lighting for your outdoor space, this guide is designed to provide you with the essential information you need. Whether you’re a homeowner or a small business owner, we’ll walk you through the necessary components and where to find them.
The human eye can see the light wavelengths in the range of about 380nm to 700nm. Light above 700nm in the infrared spectrum (IR Light) is not visible to the human eye. The shorter “near-infrared” wavelengths, which are closer to visible light, from about 700nm to 900nm, can appear as a faint red glow when looking directly at a high powered IR LED source. However, it is invisible to human eye as “light” that illuminates other objects.
Are all cameras IR compatible/sensitive to IR light?
Answer: Only the true Day/Night cameras using a physically removable IR cut filter perform well with IR illuminators.
A video surveillance system has to be functional 24 hours a day in order to aid in the prevention of crime and the perpetrators prosecution. While designing a security system, it is important to consider lighting conditions as a factor that significantly affects camera image quality. Poor lighting conditions can compromise an entire system. Adding AXTON white or infrared (IR) security lighting will increase the effectiveness of your camera in adverse lighting conditions.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) was created to supply power via the same ethernet cables already connecting a system for the purpose of data transmission.
PoE power is especially useful for Security Systems since IP Cameras will already be connected to an ethernet system in order to deliver the recorded data over the network. In a PoE powered system the same ethernet cable used for data, is also used to deliver power to the camera, light or other connected device. PoE power also allows easier Plug & Play type of connections compared to conventional and low-voltage powered devices.
