Product SKU: AXIS T90D30
Product Overview
For surveillance installations where a camera’s built-in IR cannot cover the required distance or scene width, the AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED provides dedicated infrared illumination powered over a single Ethernet cable. Featuring 850nm semi-covert IR LED technology, this illuminator arrives with a pre-mounted 10° lens and 3 additional diverging lenses at 35°, 60°, and 80°, allowing the IR beam angle to be matched precisely to the camera’s field of view. With the narrow 10° lens fitted, it reaches up to 350m, making it well suited to perimeter fence lines, access roads, industrial yards, and long-range outdoor monitoring. Equipped with IP66 weather protection, NEMA 4X corrosion resistance, and an IK09 impact rating, the unit operates from -50°C to 50°C across demanding outdoor environments. Integrated controls allow power level, photocell sensitivity, and timer settings to be adjusted on site, while an optional 120° diverging lens supports very wide short-range coverage where needed.
Key Capabilities
850nm Semi-Covert IR Illumination
The 850nm IR LED provides strong night-time illumination while remaining less visible than white light sources. This makes it practical for perimeter and yard monitoring where lighting the area with visible white light is not desirable, while still giving compatible cameras enough IR to capture usable black-and-white footage.
Long-Range Coverage Up to 350m
With the standard 10° lens, the AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED illuminates up to 350m, which suits narrow approaches such as fence lines, access roads, and gated entries. Wider beam lenses reduce the distance but spread the IR across broader scenes, giving installers coverage options from 45m to 350m from a single unit.
Interchangeable Lens System
Four lenses are included at 10°, 35°, 60°, and 80°, with an optional 120° lens also available. Matching the IR beam angle to the camera’s field of view reduces wasted infrared light and limits foreground overexposure, improving the quality of usable night footage across varying installation scenarios.
PoE-Powered Installation
Powered by High Power over Ethernet from compatible Axis PoE midspans or switches, the T90D30 eliminates the need to run separate mains power to the illuminator location. With a maximum PoE draw of 60W and standby consumption of 2.2W, it suits network-based deployments where cabling simplicity matters.
IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK09 Protection
Rated for dust and water ingress protection, corrosion resistance, and IK09 impact resistance, the illuminator is built for outdoor environments including industrial yards, transport facilities, car parks, and exposed building exteriors. Its operating temperature range of -50°C to 50°C covers extreme climates without additional enclosures.
Best For
- Long-Range Perimeter Monitoring: The 10° lens delivers up to 350m of IR coverage, making this unit suited to fence lines, access roads, and entry gate approaches where camera-mounted IR cannot reach far enough.
- Industrial Yards and Warehouses: IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings allow the T90D30 to operate in exposed outdoor industrial settings including loading areas, equipment yards, and building exteriors where durability is a priority.
- Controlled IR Coverage Across Variable Scenes: The interchangeable lens system lets the illumination angle be matched to different camera views, from narrow long-range approaches to wider car parks and open yards, reducing wasted IR output and improving night footage across changing layouts.
- Network-Based PoE Deployments: Sites using Axis PoE infrastructure benefit from simplified installation with no separate power cabling required at the illuminator, which is useful for poles, fences, and outdoor mounting locations away from power outlets.
Why Choose the AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED
The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED is built for professional installers who need reliable, adjustable infrared illumination beyond what a camera’s built-in IR can deliver. Where simpler illuminators offer a fixed beam and basic output, this unit includes 4 interchangeable diverging lenses, push-button or remote adjustment of power level, photocell sensitivity, and timer settings, and illumination distances from 45m up to 350m depending on lens selection. Its 850nm wavelength balances performance with semi-covert operation, and the IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings confirm it is engineered for long-term outdoor use in exposed commercial and industrial environments. A 5-year warranty supports the investment for high-demand sites. The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED is available at Security Wholesalers and is designed exclusively for use with Axis cameras fitted with an infrared-cut filter, making it a purpose-matched addition to existing Axis network camera deployments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection Before Installation: Choose the lens angle based on the camera’s actual field of view before mounting this illuminator. A narrow camera view paired with the 10° lens maximises IR reach up to 350m, while a wide-angle camera view requires the 60° or 80° lens to spread illumination evenly and avoid overexposing foreground subjects. Installing the wrong lens wastes IR output and degrades night-time footage quality regardless of the illuminator’s power.
PoE Power Source Compatibility: The AXIS T90D30 PoE IR-LED requires a High Power over Ethernet source capable of delivering up to 60W. Standard PoE (15.4W) or PoE+ (30W) switches are insufficient. Confirm that the Axis PoE midspan or switch at the installation site supports the required power class before cabling and mounting the unit.

Ideal Use Cases
Perimeter and Fence Line Security
The 10° standard lens provides up to 350m of IR illumination along narrow fence lines, restricted boundaries, and outer site edges where camera-mounted IR is insufficient. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings ensure the unit survives in exposed outdoor perimeter environments over the long term.
Industrial Yards and Loading Areas
Industrial yards, loading docks, and equipment storage areas benefit from the 35° or 60° lens options, which balance IR reach with scene width. IK09 impact resistance provides added durability in locations where the illuminator may be exposed to accidental contact from vehicles or equipment.
Car Parks and Outdoor Vehicle Areas
Vehicle lanes, entry and exit points, and pedestrian routes within car parks can be covered using the 60° or 80° lens depending on the camera’s field of view. Matching the lens to the camera reduces overexposed foreground areas and keeps footage usable across the full monitored zone after dark.
Transport and Infrastructure Sites
Rail depots, bus yards, service compounds, and roadside installations benefit from the T90D30’s -50°C to 50°C operating range and weather resistance. Long-range IR coverage with the 10° or 35° lens suits roadway approaches and vehicle entry monitoring where distances exceed standard camera IR capability.
Commercial Building Exteriors
External doors, roller shutters, delivery areas, and access paths on commercial building exteriors gain improved night coverage when the illuminator is wall or bracket mounted alongside an Axis camera with an infrared-cut filter. PoE delivery simplifies installation on building exteriors where separate mains power is not available at the mounting point.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your Axis camera has an infrared-cut filter and its built-in IR cannot reach the required distance or evenly cover the scene width, and your installation uses Axis PoE infrastructure capable of supplying up to 60W of High Power over Ethernet.
- Choose a different model if: Your PoE switch or midspan cannot supply High Power over Ethernet at the required wattage, as standard PoE or PoE+ sources will not deliver sufficient power to operate this illuminator. In that case, a lower-power illuminator with a matching power class, or a unit with an alternative power input, should be assessed instead.
- Choose a different model if: The camera being supported is not an Axis camera with an infrared-cut filter, as this illuminator is designed for use within Axis network camera deployments and compatibility outside that ecosystem is not confirmed.
