XNiteNikonD3xHR   HR - Visible High Res / Hot Rod

 

We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR,  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 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.
