avner 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Good day, I have recently bought a samsung dome: SCD-2080E. next to it I installed an infrared illuminator but the camera does not ´respond´to it. I have been told that it could, and I find it hard to beleive it cant... The guide does not refer to this option. thank you Avner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go3Team 0 Posted August 25, 2011 What is the wavelength of the illuminator? 850 or 940? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted August 25, 2011 I can't see anything in that camera's specs that indicate it's a true day/night camera with movable IR cut filter, so it's not surprising that it doesn't work with the illuminator. Because ambient IR light can adversely affect a color camera's exposure and color balance, almost all color cameras have an IR cut filter over the sensor. Cheaper day/night cameras simply remove it and then attempt to compensate electronically for the exposure and color issues; "true day/night" cameras can move the filter out of the way automatically when the camera switches to night mode. The presence of that filter is likely why your camera doesn't work with the illuminator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
