Security Camera IR Illuminator Floodlight - Testing 4 new lights 

You're welcome

You're welcome

It's amazing how much it improves visibility at night. Thank you.

Very possible. Watch out for overloading the transformers. I made a video about it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-chOUHxojFPU.html

Yes it should, just don't want to point the light at the camera.

That may actually work, but you would just have to get the angle right. It is definitely the same as having a floodlight on, but only the camera can see it.

I would think that the IR lights in the camera would reflect off of the glass. Maybe if you put the camera right next to the glass. Test it and see what happens.

@@ProjectBolony then its even whorse... I think i have to open up the camera and disconnect the ir leds.

850nm

@@ProjectBolony thanks

Look on the back of the unit and there should be some info there. Then search for it on the internet. Should say something like VOLTAGE: DC12V/3000ma

The closer it is to an object, the more it will reflect. If you are in between, there are lights out there that are "less bright" for that purpose. The reason these lights work for me is that there is a great distance between the IR flood light and the mass that is reflecting the IR light.

I don't believe this will affect the motion as that is a different sensor.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rnh8oOGCWlE.html - Tested in a 12V environment. Check it out. (Not sure that the daytime would work unless you were able to discontinue the photo cell switch.)

These lights are 850nm. The red light can be seen at the light fixture, but not the beam of light. I believe there are lights available that the fixture is less visible, but I am not sure if they are available to the general public. I would expect it is something the military would utilize.

@@ProjectBolony there are 950nm LED which are less visible than 850nm but there beam range also less in comparison to 850nm.

@@om_unique true. I get this question occasionally - about the visibility of the fixture emitting the LED. The truth is, it doesn't really matter that much if they see it in the grand scheme of things. Joe Public frequently poses straw-man arguments regarding cameras, I have my theories on that too. But if you are trying to keep people off your property, set up motion sensors rated for outdoor use (Optex) and tie them in to trip floodlights and/or noisemakers of some sort. Or better yet, a dog. I install cameras daily for a living..reeeeeaaaall expensive ones, and I'll tell you noise, floods, dogs, signage, motions, and finally good cameras (rest assured, if its available through retail..its already outdated) should be your focus (pun intended) instead of being myopic on the visibility.
