DISCONTINUED. This model has been replaced with the E520
We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR, IR-Only (715nm or 830nm option) or Visible Hot Rod. 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.
