Univivi IR Illuminator 8-LED 850nm 90° Wide Angle IP67
These are the standard IR illuminators purchased the most often for DIY camera-blinding projects — individual units that, combined with an Arduino (below) and LED mounting hardware, become the core hardware component of a wearable IR dazzle system. Invisible to the human eye, 850nm infrared light is within the absorption band of most camera sensors, and at point-blank range from an array of these units, it creates the same blown-out effect as pointing a camera directly at the sun. The IP67 waterproofing and auto dusk/dawn sensor make them appropriate for permanent outdoor installation (porch cameras, vehicles). The 90° wide-angle beam pattern provides maximum coverage per unit.
