# Configure Bullet Camera Attachments

{% hint style="warning" %}
The External IR Illuminator and White Light Illuminator are only compatible with the CB63-E and CB63-TE bullet camera models.

{% tab title="Infrared Illuminator" %}
The Infrared Illuminator ([ACC-CAM-CB-IR-1](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/ACC-CAM-CB-IR-1-datasheet.pdf)) extends the IR range of your bullet camera by supplementing the camera's built-in infrared LEDs with an additional external infrared light source. This allows the camera to capture clear, detailed footage beyond the built-in IR range at night and in dark environments.

At 100% intensity, the Infrared Illuminator extends the camera's IR range by 50%, bringing the total to 75m / 246ft on the CB63-E and 150m / 492ft on the CB63-TE.

**Configure the following settings based on your use case.**

| Setting          | Description                                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Install Mode** | Disables the IR Illuminator, allowing the camera's field of view to be adjusted safely during installation. |
| **Intensity**    | Sets the intensity of the IR light on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).                               |
| {% endstep %}    |                                                                                                             |

| {% endtab %}     |                                                                                                             |

{% tab title="White Light Illuminator" %}

The White Light Illuminator ([ACC-CAM-CB-WL-1](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/ACC-CAM-CB-WL-1-datasheet.pdf)) adds a configurable white-light source to your bullet camera, enabling full-color video capture at night and in low-light conditions, or to deter potential threats. It supports two lighting modes - Floodlight and Pulse, and can be triggered by motion or set to stay on continuously, with optional scheduling.
