A monitoring camera with a far infrared capability has a cylindrical body
(10), a lens hood (20), a luminous body (30) with multiple far infrared
light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lens cover (40). The lens hood (20) is
a hollow cylinder and is divided into an inner segment and an enlarged
outer segment (23) communicating with the inner segment. The enlarged
outer portion (23) provides an enlarged compartment to hold a larger
luminous body (30), which can hold more far infrared LEDs so the
monitoring camera can see object at greater visual distances.
Additionally, the field of vision the monitoring camera is also greater.
