I have both 850nm and 940nm illuminators in use with my Pard NV008. A 940nm illuminator with a larger aspheric lens than the inbuilt 850nm illuminator give similar detection range, while not being visible.
I have used IR laser illuminators, and these are infinitely better than LED solutions. If I could find a good ir940nm laser illuminator, that would tick all of the boxes.
