I don't understand why so many people buy cameras then buy IR illuminators.

 

I suggest using outdoor I cameras with IR integrated less wiring and often better performance.

 

 

For me, its because you have more control, you can specify the exact camera you desire, and the exact illuminator you require.

 

Not only that, but a seperate IR illuminator means you dont suffer from the problem inbuilt IR does, that of attracting insects etc to the lens due to the IR heat. Far better they are attracted to a seperate illuminator than the actual camera...

 

Plus, IR leds dont last forever, and I dont feel like binning the camera just because the IR fails - with a seperate illuminator, its not a problem, just replace the illuminator.

 

You can also position a seperate illuminator better, you have zero choice with inbuilt IR.

 

hey Ken. check this simple example i just did tonight.

the actual file is much larger and great quality short of needing a little better focus, but had to cut it and shrink it for the site.
