AXTON

AXTON is a leading manufacturer of some of the world’s best white light and infrared (IR) illuminators designed for use with surveillance systems. The goal of AXTON is to provide high-quality professional lighting systems for use with closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance and security applications. AXTON engineers have vast experience with research and development and with optoelectronics, which has allowed them to design and create a full line of reliable and dependable IR illuminators that can handle the daily demands of CCTV surveillance monitoring.

The use of CCTV surveillance is increasingly important in today’s world because it helps prevent crimes such as personal injuries or property damage. Criminologists believe that people are less likely to commit crimes when they think they are being watched, not only by human eyes but also by surveillance cameras. Both businesses and homeowners are wise to buy surveillance monitoring systems as an added means of protection. However, to get the most out of a CCTV surveillance system, it must be in use 24 hours a day, and images captured in the dark may be so difficult to see that they are almost useless. The purchase of IR illuminators is important when using security cameras because they allow security cameras to record images that are clear and easily visible even at night. The human eye is only capable of seeing within 400 to 700 nanometers along the light spectrum, but a camera sensor can see light up to 850 nm. At night, when light is lacking, adding AXTON 850 nm infrared illuminators to a surveillance system can greatly improve the quality of the images captured.
