Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVA Technology in the VIVOTEK CM48I8-180?
Continuous Variable Angle (CVA) Technology allows the IR illuminator's beam angle to be continuously adjusted from 10° to 180° without mechanical repositioning. This means you can optimize infrared coverage for narrow corridors, wide parking lots, or any space in between—all from a single fixture. It eliminates the need for multiple illuminators and reduces installation complexity.
How far does the CM48I8-180 IR illuminator reach?
The CM48I8-180 delivers infrared illumination up to 250 meters, making it suitable for large perimeter security, airport runways, and expansive outdoor surveillance zones. The actual effective range depends on beam angle selection and target reflectivity, but the 48W power output ensures strong, consistent coverage across extended distances.
Is the VIVOTEK CM48I8-180 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The IP68 weather-proof rating means the illuminator is fully sealed against rain, snow, dust, and even temporary submersion. Combined with its IK10 vandal-proof housing, it's engineered for harsh outdoor environments including coastal salt spray, extreme temperature swings, and high-impact zones where security equipment faces physical threats.
What beam patterns does this CaMate IR illuminator support?
The CM48I8-180 offers three specialized beam patterns—circular for uniform 360° coverage, elliptical for rectangular spaces, and rectangular for corridor or perimeter applications. This flexibility ensures uniform illumination without hot spots regardless of your surveillance layout, delivering professional-grade night vision video quality.
