Many of our customers have also found applications for hidden cameras in both their home and business environments. Locations such as banks, for example, use a combination of wireless and wired, visible and hidden cameras. The visibly apparent surveillance cameras are used to intimidate potential criminals, while the "invisible" video surveillance cameras continue photographing them if, and when, the wired surveillance cameras are disabled. Most business owners want cameras in clear sight to discourage the "would be" culprit from doing anything illegal in their places of business. The hidden cameras, (almost always wireless so they can be placed anywhere) are the ones that, through the use of recordings from surveillance dvr's, provide the information to the police about who may have committed the crime after they've disabled the visible surveillance system cameras.

This light can be in a range of color visible to the eye (such as the LED on a PC monitor which indicates that power is on), or can be invisible to the naked eye, such as infrared LEDs on a surveillance camera or remote control.
IR: Infrared Light which is invisible to the naked eye, with a wavelength longer than that of red light. Infrared light is used for night vision LEDs on surveillance cameras and accessories, and in remote controls. LUX: A unit measurement of the intensity of light. For example, the light of a full moon is about 0.1 lux, while bright sunlight is about 100,000 lux. Cameras rated for 0.0 Lux are considered to be night vision cameras. Can I see an image in pitch-black conditions? Yes. The infrared LED illuminators act as an additional light source for the surveillance camera, giving you an image even when natural light sources are absent. The amount of light needed to see a picture is referred to as lux. The lower the lux the better the camera can see in low light. Infrared LED cameras are considered to be rated 0 lux, meaning they can see with zero light. What is the maximum distance I can see? The distance you can see will greatly depend on the quality of the camera lens, the lighting conditions, and the number of IR LEDs. However, the general rule of thumb for low lighting is 2 feet per infrared LED illuminator under ideal conditions. It is important to note that depending on the surveillance system application, objects at or beyond this range may be partially or completely obscured. What is the ideal number of infrared LED illuminators? The ideal number of infrared LEDs depends on the video surveillance application, and it is important to note that having more infrared LEDs does not mean you will receive a better image in low light. If the area you plan to monitor is open and the visual objects are at a distance, you may wish to have more LEDs. However, if the area you plan to monitor is closed and the objects appear rather close (under 15 ft.), it is recommended to have fewer infrared LEDs. If infrared LED illuminators are placed too close to an object, the object may become too bright, and it will be harder to identify the object. Can I see an image in color or just in black and white? This will depend on the amount of light emitted from sources other than the infrared LED illuminators. The more the surveillance camera has to depend on the infrared LED illuminators to see, the more color will be lost in the image. With most surveillance cameras, once the infrared LEDs are illuminated, the camera will automatically switch to black and white to deliver better clarity. Why would I use infrared LED illuminators? The human eye cannot see infrared light, but a Surveillance Camera can. The invisible light can be used to illuminate an area to allow for night surveillance without the need for additional artificial lighting. Other benefits of using infrared LED illuminators are that they have low power consumption compared to regular lighting, they are lightweight, and have a long lifespan since they only illuminate in low lighting. In general, infrared LED illuminators will increase the viewing range in areas such as warehouses, garages, hallways, entrances, etc. Where should I place infrared LED illuminators (if not already attached to the surveillance camera)? Infrared LED illuminators should be placed above the surveillance camera to ensure the greatest amount of illumination. It is not recommended that IRs be placed next to the camera, as it may leave one side of the image darker than the other. Although the light emitted from the infrared LED illuminators is not visible to the human eye, the surveillance camera sees the light in much the same way as we see white light. If infrared LED illuminators are placed in the camera’s field of view, the image may not be visible or may become too bright, as this would be similar to shining a flashlight directly at the camera. Are infrared illuminators safe? Yes, Infrared LED illuminators are harmless. Are infrared LED illuminators invisible? Almost. A low red glow is visible, however most people would not notice the infrared LEDs on a surveillance camera. What is an IR Cut Filter? An Automatic IR Mechanical Cut Filter blocks infrared light, but allows colors visible to the naked eye to pass through. During low/no light conditions, the IR Cut Filter moves away from the lens to let in100% of the infrared light for maximum night vision performance. This results in the surveillance camera image changing to Black and White for better image quality. NOTE: Not all Day/Night Cameras have an Auto IR Cut filter. Surveillance System Sales on the Rise
