Infrared Dome
https://www.cngeir.com/products/infrared-dome/
The infrared dome is a spherical mount specifically designed for infrared applications that allows infrared light to pass through while protecting internal optical components or sensors. These spheres have important applications in a number of fields, including but not limited to safety and control, thermal imaging, remote sensing, and military and scientific applications.
Types of Infrared Dome
Germanium Infrared Dome
Silicon Infrared Dome
ZnSe Infrared Dome
ZnS Infrared Dome
What Are The Benefits Of Using An Infrared Dome?
The benefits of using an Infrared Dome include:
1. Enhanced night vision capability for surveillance cameras.
2. Protection of the camera from dust, moisture, and vandalism.
3. Discreet and aesthetic design suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
Differences Between Infrared Domes and Visible Light Optical Domes:
1. Wavelength Transmission:
Infrared Domes transmit infrared light while blocking visible light, whereas visible light optical domes transmit visible light while blocking infrared.
2. Material Composition:
Infrared Domes are made from materials transparent to infrared wavelengths like germanium or zinc selenide, whereas visible light optical domes are made from materials optimized for visible light transmission, such as glass or acrylic.
3. Applications:
Infrared Domes are used in thermal imaging and infrared surveillance, whereas visible light optical domes are employed in applications like photography and surveillance cameras.
