Infrared (IR) illumination provides a highly-effective enhancement for video surveillance in complete darkness. At ISC West 2018 in Las Vegas, Axis Communications is unveiling several new network cameras featuring its IR functionality, including pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) and fixed dome cameras, bullet, fisheye and panoramic cameras, and discreet sensors units. Together, these bring IR capability to almost any surveillance environment and answer an increased market demand.
IR’s ability to allow cameras to literally ‘see in the dark’ is an obvious additional benefit to video surveillance for several reasons, from allowing 24/7 surveillance without the need for additional lighting, to enabling ultra-discreet surveillance in sensitive locations.
