Description
Struggling to see who's at the door after dark or in harsh outdoor conditions? The Viking VCAM-1IR is a compact, high-resolution infrared color video camera built to deliver clear imagery day or night, even in the most demanding environments.
Equipped with a day/night OLP (optical low pass) filter and compatibility with standard 840–850nm IR illuminators, the VCAM-1IR transitions seamlessly between color daytime video and sharp low-light performance after dark. Its wide 80° horizontal viewing angle with tilt/swivel adjustment ensures you can frame exactly the coverage area you need. Every unit ships with Enhanced Weather Protection as standard, featuring sealed connections and an epoxy potted circuit board designed to meet IP66 ingress protection — meaning rain, snow, and condensation won't stop it.
The VCAM-1IR matches the footprint of the VCAM-1, making it a direct drop-in upgrade for Viking entry phones and access products including the AES-2005, E-35, E-50, E-65, E-75, K-1205, K-1705-3, and W-3005. If you're retrofitting an existing installation or adding night vision capability to a current system, this camera slots right in without new mounting hardware.
Our Expert Take: The VCAM-1IR is the smart upgrade path for any existing Viking entry system that already uses a VCAM-1 but needs reliable after-hours coverage. Because it shares the same form factor, swapping cameras on an E-35 or E-50 installation is straightforward. Just make sure you pair it with a quality 840–850nm IR illuminator for best night performance — the camera is compatible but the illuminator is sold separately. For completely new outdoor installs where low-light visibility is a priority from day one, specifying the VCAM-1IR over the standard VCAM-1 is an easy decision.
