SomoGear NGAL Aiming Laser IR Illuminator

 Why do I need an infrared illuminator?

There are installation locations that can not be covered with the integrated IR LEDs of the surveillance cameras. Especially with property monitoring or access roads, the performance of the built-in IR LED's is not enough, and it must be used with additional ngal airsoft.Another reason is the predilection of insects at the source of illumination. Although the IR spectrum is perceived only as red glow to the human eye, it attracts insects in the summer. The effect is a swarm of insects, which is directly in front of the camera lens and thus affects the view of the surveillance camera. As the visibility at night is generally already limited, this may lead to limitations in the evaluation. Especially when using a motion detection, this can lead to false alarms.The only effective way to prevent this is to use external infrared LED illuminator, which are typically placed about 1 meter from the camera.
In professional outdoor applications, external IR spotlight are often used.

The NGAL IR Illuminator is a rugged, ultra-compact and lightweight system designed to be compatible with all generations of night vision devices. NGAL uses an advanced illuminator design to achieve a uniform Near Infrared (NIR) illuminator beam for increased situation awareness. High-efficiency electronics support increased system performance at reduced size, weight and power (SWaP).
