The NetMedia SCIR Infrared (IR) Illuminator provides night vision for IR (850nm) sensitive cameras. It enables
cameras such as NetMedia’s B/W and Day/Night color models to see in complete darkness. It mounts to a typical
round 4 inch junction box
the round base with another that has a 1/2 inch diameter hole for the elbow bracket.
Product Includes:
1. Illuminator Assembly (IR LED’s, IR Passing Filter, Housing, Housing Cap,
Elbow Bracket, Locking Ring, Base, Gasket, Power Connector).
2. 12V DC 300mA Power Transformer, Center Conductor Positive.
3. Mounting Screws.
Housing
Available in ivory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q- How can I tell if the illuminator is on?
A- When powered up in the dark, there will be a visible red glow coming from the IR LED’s. You can also
test it with your IR sensitive camera and a monitor.
Q- Why do the IR LED’s have a red glow?
A- The 850nm infrared LED’s emit some slight radiation in the visible red region. These LED’s are as
“invisible” as possible while still being compatible with many IR sensitive cameras. NetMedia also
offers a 940nm illuminator (NM-IRJBOX) that gives off no red but most cameras cannot see the IR in
that range. NetMedia’s Day/Night color cameras can see with the 940nm LED’s.
Q- The illuminator is on, why doesn’t my camera see anything?
A- Make sure the camera is sensitive to IR at 850nm. NetMedia’s B/W and Day/Night color cameras will
work but most color cameras are not IR sensitive at all. Make sure the unit is properly powered. Make
sure there is actually something to see within its illumination area.
Q- How can I increase the length of the power cord?
A- The illuminator has a minimum power requirement of 12V DC 300mA. You may use another power
supply and cable but the connector needs to be just like the power plug of the included
transformer, 5.5mm outer dia., 2.1mm inner dia., center positive. Do not cut the cables coming out of
the illuminator or you will void the warranty. Do not reverse the polarity on the power jack/plug or
you will damage the illuminator and void the warranty.
The NetMedia IRJBOX Infrared (IR) Illuminator provides invisible light for IR (940nm) sensitive cameras. It
enables cameras such as NetMedia’s SC53 to see in complete darkness. The illuminator mounts in a wall with its
bracket or in a typical single gang junction (light switch) box. It is concealed behind a black cover plate insert
that allows only IR to pass. For best results, do not mount in the same junction box as the camera.
Product Includes:
1. IR Illuminator Board (IR LED’s, Power Y-Cable).
2. 12V DC 300mA Power Transformer, Center Conductor Positive.
3. Black Lens Cover Insert.
4. Mounting hardware (Bracket and Screws).

Installation Procedures:
1. Connect the 12V DC 300mA Power Transformer from an AC outlet to the Illuminator’s Power Input Connector. If sharing
power through the Y-Cable, make sure there is enough current for both devices; the Illuminator requires 200mA.
2. Install Illuminator Board into Mounting Bracket or Junction Box (not included). Check camera to ensure that the desired
area is illuminated without shining, either directly or by reflection, into the camera lens.
3. Snap the Black Lens Cover into the Cover Plate (not included) by pressing all four corners in simultaneously. If necessary,
the square corners of the insert may be slightly rounded.
4. Attach the Cover Plate to Mounting Bracket or Junction Box. Silicon or similar sealant may be used as needed.
