Standard IR Receiver - Peephole-Style installs in cabinet doors or walls

You would normally use these products to control devices that are out of sight (in a cupboard for instance), for hardwiring infra-red distribution around the house, or for sending commands back to a home controller, like HomeVision.

The 490 is miniature IR receiver that features surface mount technology. The 490 has its electronics housed in a brass cylinder. The "business end" of the unit is a small round lens. This small receiver is designed to be placed in very tiny spaces. One example is a small corner of an equipment cabinet. A single, 1/2-inch hole will accommodate the 490. The high sensitivity of this receiver gives you the ability to place the 490 further away from the hand held remote, increasing the placement options you have.
