IR illuminator Suggestion

[Philly]

Hello:

I've looked at the Wiki but link looks like a broken one. Could you please suggest if I really would need the IR illuminator for dark area if I am using IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. If yes, what brand is the good one to use.

Thank you!

a good brand is raytec but very expensive : Raytec Ltd | LED Lighting for Video Surveillance

BICK

Those Ray Tec units are incredible but VERY pricey as BICK mentions..

For us working class stiffs, look at the Tendelux brand
Tendelux AI4
Tendelux BI8

I can highly recommend this CM Vision model with wide angle coverage and very minimal hot spot. Been running a couple of these for over a year now with now problems. Very reliable.

Take a look at this comparision. It's very useful on what kind of coverage to expect.

I second this vote.
The link to the wiki is now working. Appears the Ipcamtalk server was down the bigger part of yesterday and took a while to completely recover.

Can any of the recommender illuminators above operate on PoE?

I've settled on the CMVision IR-40 as my favorite. All but a very few illuminators need a 12 volt DC supply, generally provided by a POE splitter at the camera location. Here's a thread detailing what I found 4 watt IR illuminator comparison

Raytec has models that do. As mentioned $$$
