Models:
XNiteNikonD3s
UV+Visible+IR
XNiteNikonD3sIR High-Red 665nm and IR-Only (715nm or 830nm option)
XNiteNikonD3sHR HR - Visible
High Res / Hot Rod
We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR, High-Red
665nm, IR-Only
(715nm or 830nm option) or Visible High Resolution (HR). An UV+Visible+IR camera will see
UV, Infrared and Visible light after
modification. An IR-Only camera will only see IR from 715nm through 1200nmm
or 830nm through 1200nm depending on the glass installed inside the camera. A
High-Red 665nm will pass some visible red into the red channel as well as
infrared light. The blue and green channels will only see infrared.
A Visible Hot-Rod camera will maximize the resolution and
color depth of the camera at the expense of possible moire pattens. Please
see more about this conversion here.
