Product SKU: AXIS T90D30
Product Overview
The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED is a high-performance infrared illuminator designed to improve night-time visibility for compatible Axis network cameras with an infrared-cut filter. It uses efficient 850nm semi-covert IR LED technology to deliver targeted illumination where it is needed, helping reduce light wastage and avoid overexposure of foreground objects. With PoE-powered installation, interchangeable lenses, beam angle options including 10°, 35°, 60° and 80°, optional 120° lens support, IP66 weather protection, NEMA 4X resistance, and IK09 impact rating, it is ideal for perimeter security, car parks, industrial sites, warehouses, roadways, yards, and long-range outdoor surveillance applications.
Why Choose the AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED
The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED is ideal for customers who need reliable infrared illumination for cameras that must perform after dark. Its interchangeable lens system lets installers match the IR beam angle to the camera’s field of view, whether the scene requires narrow long-range coverage or wider short-range illumination. PoE-powered operation simplifies installation by allowing power to be supplied through compatible Axis PoE midspans or switches, while integrated controls allow power level, photocell sensitivity, and timer settings to be adjusted. With distances from 70m to 350m depending on lens selection, this illuminator is a flexible option for professional surveillance projects.
Key Capabilities
High-Performance Infrared Illumination
The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED provides powerful 850nm infrared illumination to improve camera visibility in darkness. It helps compatible day/night network cameras capture clearer black-and-white footage after hours, making it useful for sites where night monitoring is critical but visible lighting is not preferred.
PoE-Powered Installation
The PoE variant is designed for fast and reliable installation using compatible Axis PoE midspans or PoE switches. This reduces the need for separate local power cabling at the illuminator location and helps simplify deployment in professional surveillance projects where network-based power is preferred.
Interchangeable Lens Flexibility
The illuminator includes interchangeable lenses so the IR angle can be matched to the camera’s field of view. A narrow beam can support long-distance monitoring, while wider lenses can illuminate broader scenes such as yards, entrances, car parks, loading areas, and perimeter sections.
Long-Range IR Performance
With the standard 10° lens, the AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED can illuminate up to 350m, while wider included lenses provide shorter but broader coverage. This makes the unit suitable for a wide range of surveillance layouts, from narrow fence lines to wider outdoor areas.
Outdoor and Impact-Resistant Design
With IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings, the illuminator is built for demanding outdoor installations. It is suitable for exposed environments where resistance to dust, water, corrosion, and impact is important for long-term surveillance reliability.
Key Features
-
850nm Semi-Covert IR LED: The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED uses 850nm infrared illumination to support camera visibility in darkness while remaining less obvious than white light. This makes it suitable for applications where night-time surveillance is required without brightly illuminating the monitored area.
-
PoE-Powered Design: The PoE version supports installation using compatible Axis PoE switches or midspans, helping reduce cabling complexity and simplifying power delivery. This is useful for outdoor surveillance locations where running separate power to the illuminator would be more difficult or costly.
-
Interchangeable Beam Lenses: The unit comes with a pre-mounted 10° lens and includes 35°, 60° and 80° diverging lenses, with an optional 120° lens available. This allows the illumination pattern to be matched to different camera views, helping avoid wasted IR light or overexposed foreground areas.
-
Up to 350m Illumination Distance: With the standard 10° lens, the illuminator can provide IR coverage up to 350m. Wider beam angles provide broader but shorter coverage, giving installers flexibility to choose between long-range perimeter lighting and wider scene illumination depending on the camera view.
-
Integrated Setup Controls: The PoE variant supports control through integrated push buttons or remote control for power level, photocell sensitivity, and timer settings. This helps installers fine-tune operation to suit site conditions, lighting changes, and camera performance requirements.
-
Optimised Illumination Efficiency: The illuminator is designed to deliver light where it is needed, minimising light wastage and reducing overexposure of foreground objects. This helps improve usable night-time footage and makes the system more effective than poorly matched or overly broad illumination.
-
Flexible Mounting Options: AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED supports various mounting arrangements using compatible Axis wall, pole, single, and multi-bracket accessories. This makes it suitable for camera poles, building exteriors, perimeter fences, equipment cabinets, and other professional installation layouts.
-
Weather and Impact Protection: With IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings, the illuminator is designed for outdoor security environments exposed to dust, water, corrosion, and physical impact. This makes it suitable for car parks, industrial sites, warehouses, transport facilities, and perimeter security applications.

Ideal Use Cases
- Perimeter Security – Suitable for fence lines, restricted boundaries, long driveways, gates, and outer site edges where cameras need stronger IR illumination for night-time monitoring.
- Car Parks – Useful for illuminating vehicle lanes, pedestrian routes, entry and exit points, and larger parking areas where camera footage needs to remain usable after dark.
- Industrial Sites – Ideal for yards, loading zones, equipment areas, warehouse exteriors, depots, and utility locations where outdoor surveillance must operate through the night.
- Transport and Infrastructure – A practical choice for rail areas, bus depots, roadways, service compounds, substations, and other locations requiring reliable long-range IR support.
- Warehouses and Commercial Facilities – Suitable for external doors, roller shutters, delivery areas, storage yards, access roads, and building perimeters where additional IR light can improve camera performance.
Understanding the Interchangeable IR Lens System
The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED uses interchangeable diverging lenses so the illumination pattern can be matched to the camera’s field of view. A narrow 10° beam is best for long-distance monitoring, while wider 35°, 60° and 80° lenses spread the infrared light across a broader scene. This helps installers avoid wasting IR light outside the camera view and reduces the risk of overexposing objects close to the illuminator.

Tip:
Choose the IR lens angle based on the camera’s field of view. A narrow camera view usually needs a narrow IR beam for longer reach, while a wide camera view needs a wider lens to spread light evenly across the scene.
