48 LED 850nm IR Infrared Illuminator for CCTV Night Vision
48 LED 850nm IR Infrared Illuminator for CCTV Night Vision
48 LED 850nm Infrared Illuminator — Extend Your CCTV Camera's Night Vision
Upgrade your security setup with this powerful 850nm Infrared Illuminator featuring 48 high-output IR LED beads. Designed to work seamlessly alongside CCTV and IP security cameras, this fill light floods a wide area with invisible infrared light — giving your cameras the signal they need to capture clear, detailed footage even in complete darkness.
Key Features
- 48 IR LED Beads — Dense array of LEDs for broad, even infrared coverage
- 850nm Wavelength — Optimal frequency for most CCTV and IP camera sensors
- Invisible Illumination — 850nm IR light is undetectable to the human eye, keeping your surveillance discreet
- Wide Coverage Angle — Effectively illuminates large areas for comprehensive monitoring
- Low Power Consumption — Energy-efficient LED technology reduces running costs
- Durable Construction — Built for reliable, continuous indoor and outdoor use
- Easy Installation — Standard mounting design fits most CCTV bracket systems
Why Use a Dedicated IR Illuminator?
Most built-in camera IR LEDs have limited range and coverage. Adding a dedicated 48-LED infrared illuminator dramatically extends your camera's effective night-vision range and fills blind spots caused by weak onboard IR. The result is sharper, more consistent low-light footage — perfect for driveways, parking areas, warehouses, entryways, and perimeter monitoring.
Ideal Applications
- Home security camera systems
- Commercial CCTV installations
- Warehouse and parking lot surveillance
- Perimeter and outdoor monitoring
- Wildlife and trail monitoring cameras

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does an 850nm infrared illuminator do for a CCTV camera?
A: An 850nm infrared illuminator emits near-infrared light that is invisible to the human eye but highly visible to CCTV and IP camera sensors. It significantly boosts your camera's low-light and night-vision performance by flooding the monitored area with IR light, enabling clearer, sharper footage in dark conditions.
Q: Is this 48 LED IR illuminator compatible with all CCTV cameras?
A: This illuminator is compatible with most standard CCTV and IP cameras that are sensitive to the 850nm wavelength, which includes the vast majority of security cameras on the market. Always verify your camera's IR sensitivity range before purchasing.
Q: Can this IR illuminator be used outdoors?
A: Yes. This infrared illuminator is built for reliable continuous use in both indoor and outdoor environments, making it suitable for driveways, building perimeters, parking lots, and other exposed monitoring locations.
Q: Is the infrared light from this illuminator visible to people?
A: At 850nm, the infrared output is very nearly invisible to the naked eye — most people will see only a very faint glow at the LED surface. It will not interfere with occupants or alert intruders, making it ideal for discreet surveillance installations.
