The Vivotek CaMate CM48I8-180 Infrared Illuminator is a premium solution for night-time surveillance that blends precision optics with intelligent light control. Built as part of the CaMate CM48 family, this IR illuminator leverages VIVOTEK’s Continuous Variable Angle Technology (CVA Tech) to deliver high-intensity infrared light with exceptional uniformity. Designed to fit a wide range of camera fields of view from 10° to 180°, it empowers security professionals to capture clear, actionable footage in complete darkness, while maintaining energy efficiency and system reliability. Whether you’re outfitting a campus, a city surveillance network, retail properties, or critical infrastructure, the CM48I8-180 is engineered to extend your camera’s low-light performance without compromising image quality or coverage consistency.

  • Flexible beam control for any scene — The CM48I8-180 supports a variable beam that adapts from a narrow 10° angle to a broad 180° field of view. This versatility ensures you can tailor infrared coverage to the exact geometry of your site, focusing light precisely where it’s needed and minimizing spillover to adjacent areas. With CVA Tech, operators can optimize illumination for different camera placements, distances, and lighting conditions, achieving consistent image brightness across the entire captured scene.
  • High-efficiency infrared illumination — Engineered for professional surveillance, this illuminator delivers powerful IR output with efficient energy use. The result is superior night-time image clarity and longer line-of-sight reach without unnecessary power draw. The CM48I8-180’s design emphasizes uniform intensity across the beam, reducing hotspots and dark spots in the footage and improving the reliability of motion detection and facial recognition workflows in low-light environments.
  • Long-range performance up to 250 meters — When darkness falls, you need dependable range. The CM48I8-180 is designed to illuminate targets at distances up to 250 meters, enabling security operators to cover expansive sites, parking areas, perimeters, and entry points with confidence. This extended reach supports high-security scenarios where distant objects must remain clearly visible in infrared, enhancing situational awareness and evidence quality for investigations.
  • Professional-grade reliability for demanding installations — Built for continuous operation in professional settings, the CaMate CM48I8-180 is designed to integrate smoothly with VIVOTEK cameras and broader surveillance ecosystems. Its robust engineering supports consistent performance across varied environmental conditions and installation configurations, helping reduce maintenance cycles and ensuring that critical footage remains accessible when it matters most.
  • Seamless integration and future-ready flexibility — The CM48I8-180 is part of a broader CaMate solution line, enabling cohesive deployments with compatible mounting options and adaptable interfaces. Its CVA-based control simplifies adjustments during commissioning and field reconfigurations, allowing security teams to respond quickly to changes in site layout, camera placement, or coverage requirements without compromising image quality.

How to install Vivotek CaMate CM48I8-180 Infrared Illuminator

Installing the CM48I8-180 is designed to be straightforward for professional installers and security operators who are familiar with CCTV infrastructure. Follow these practical steps to maximize performance and ensure a reliable setup:

  • Plan the installation location to align IR coverage with the camera’s field of view. Assess the area to determine the optimal distance, mounting height, and angle so that the illuminated region corresponds precisely to the monitored zone.
  • Mount the infrared illuminator using compatible brackets and hardware designed for exterior or interior environments, depending on your site requirements. Ensure a secure installation that resists wind and vibration, while allowing easy access for beam-angle adjustments during commissioning.
  • Connect power and control interfaces according to your site’s electrical standards and the camera ecosystem. If your setup supports CVA control, configure the interface to enable smooth, on-the-fly beam-angle adjustments from 10° to 180° as coverage needs change.
  • Adjust the beam angle to achieve uniform illumination across the scene. Start with a mid-range angle, then fine-tune toward narrower angles for distant targets or wider angles for broad-area coverage. Verify that the illumination does not create glare or flooded light in areas outside the intended field of view.
  • Test performance in real-world conditions. Record sample footage at dusk, night, and low-ambient-light scenarios to confirm consistent brightness, minimize hotspots, and ensure that the IR spectrum complements the camera’s sensitivity. Make incremental adjustments as needed and document the final configuration for future reference.

For best results, ensure that the CM48I8-180 power supply and mounting hardware are appropriate for your installation environment and comply with local safety and electrical standards. The CVA Tech feature empowers technicians to tailor the beam precisely to the camera’s optical axis, reducing wasted light and potential glare while preserving energy efficiency. The result is crisp, high-contrast nighttime imagery that supports reliable recognition, tracking, and incident response while maintaining long-term operating efficiency.

Durable, engaging, and dog approved
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon/REAL Maplewood, Size: Puppy Tiny (2-Pack)
These chew toys are great for keeping dogs entertained and engaged, especially for gentle chewers. The quality feels strong and they hold up well compared to many other toys. The real bacon scent keeps dogs interested and coming back to them often. I’ve ordered multiple packs over time for my own dogs and even gifted them to others because they’re so well liked.

The "Y" is a staple! The other is useless.
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Small – 2 Pack
Leaving a 4-star review because she has chewed this "Y-shaped" Benebone almost down to the nubbins. At first she didn't want much to do with it, but something clicked and once she started chewing it, it's become a staple in her chewing repertoire. But the other shape... the double-pull with the lines on it... is apparently not chewable for her. She'll tote it around, but won't really sink her teeth into that one. She's still a puppy, so maybe she'll start on the double-pull shaped one later. But we'll probably hafta get a larger Y-shape in a month or two... that one's totally worth it!

My dog lives these. Great for the puppy chewing stage.
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon/REAL Maplewood, Size: Puppy Tiny (2-Pack)
My dog loves these bones. I love them too because I dont have to worry about him choking in them or biting off small.peices. Great for puppies going through the chewing stage. My dog seeks these bones out over other toys. The size is great perfect for medium sized dog. Material is durable and lasting. Occupy my dog for a long time.
