Using infared illumination can significantly reduce the bit rate generated by an IP camera or camera and encoder combination. The lower the camera bit rate the less information is needed to be stored and hence the comparitivily small addiational cost of an infrared illuminator can substantial reduce the overall system cost.

2000 Kbps to 400kbps is 5x not 3x reduction. A fantastic saving.
