BGWT’s Mark Shannon Shines The Light With Iluminar IR919.
Shannon shines the light – BGWT’s Mark Shannon shines the light on the crucial role illuminators pay in surveillance systems.
“How many times have you struggled to design a security solution that offers users complete visibility, during the day and at night – plenty right?” asks BGWT’s national product manager, Mark Shannon.
“Meet the IR919-PoE-2 Series super long-range IR illuminator manufactured by Iluminar – a super long-range IR illuminator that works by emitting a powerful infrared light beam that’s invisible to the human eye but enhances the visibility of objects in total darkness, and especially at night and in low light conditions,” explains Shannon.
“Security threats are constantly evolving, so the choice of integrating high-power infrared illuminators that reside just outside the visible red section of the electromagnetic spectrum – above 700nm and below 1000nm – plays a crucial role in the design of surveillance systems. The aim is always to ensure that clear and detailed footage is captured, no matter what the lighting situation offers.”

According to Shannon, the enhanced infrared lighting aids in critical asset monitoring, including facial detection, license plate identification, and object detection, improving the overall visibility and effectiveness of the installation. This is especially important in outdoor settings where traditional lighting may not be feasible.
“This is where the magic of the IR919-PoE-2 Series’ night vision capabilities come to life, allowing cameras to capture clear and detailed footage making it easier to monitor and identify potential threats or intruders, and thus enhancing overall safety and security measures,” Shannon says.
“Iluminar’s IR919-PoE-2 Series illuminator is designed for easy integration with a wide range of surveillance cameras and systems. Its versatile mounting options and user-friendly setup make it simple to install, ensuring a seamless integration process for enhanced surveillance installations.”
