Digital Watchdog DW-ILIRIP940 940nm Infrared Illuminator
Overview
The DW-ILIRIP940 is a 940nm infrared illuminator designed to extend night vision capability for Digital Watchdog IP surveillance cameras. This wavelength operates in the near-infrared spectrum, invisible to the human eye, making it suitable for covert monitoring applications where visible LED glow would be unacceptable—retail loss prevention, perimeter security, and interior facility monitoring are typical deployments. The red housing simplifies field identification during installation and maintenance.
Compatibility
This illuminator integrates with Digital Watchdog IP camera systems. Verify exact compatibility with your camera model before ordering, as infrared illuminator integration depends on camera firmware support and optical alignment. Digital Watchdog provides compatibility guidance through their technical documentation for specific camera families.
Installation Notes
Position the 940nm illuminator to minimize reflection washout on the camera lens and avoid direct line-of-sight exposure to reflective surfaces that could saturate the image sensor. Mounting height, angle, and distance from the camera affect effective illumination range and image quality. Test field of view alignment before permanent installation to confirm the illuminator covers the intended surveillance area without overexposure in the near field.
