is the ir30 or the ir3 sold by cmvision wider angle? I am using a gopro at night--very wide

I haven't used the gopro so I can't compare, but I've found this to be more of a spot light. I will say that it lights up a bedroom or a small living room with no problems. I point it at the middle of the rooms ceiling and the bounce back lights up the room.

make sure that the IR wavelength match's your camera. Foscam see's with it, loftech only see's 25% and my sony camera picks up nothing. Contact gopro and ask them the IR that is needed.

I don't have an IR3, but I'd guestimate the IR30 at 60-80 degrees. The IR3 uses three high-powered LEDs, while the IR30 uses thirty. The IR3 claims twice the usable illumination distance which, to me, indicates that at half the distance, you're going to have a more narrow field of view than the IR30 will have at that same range (it's maximum). You're using a GoPro which has an IR filter built into the lens. In order to make use of any IR illuminators, the standard lens will need to be replaced with one that lacks an IR filter.

Yes. I have 2 of these for use with my Logitech cameras. Wide even coverage. My fenced area is 56 feet deep and it reaches that far with no problem. Width I estimate at 25 feet.

It was advertised to illuminate at a distance of 50'. I need it to illuminate at 10' and it is insufficient at that.

If your not seeing a difference let me ask you these 2 questions.1. Are pointing the IR Illuminator in the same direction as the camera?2. Is your camera IR corrective? The camera.has to be IR corrective for this to work.

I actually bought it for something else. Do you want to have remote live view and trigger from your DSLR ? If you do send another question and I will send some details so you can have something like CamRanger but at around 40 instead of 250. Hope that helps. Phil

There's no difference in brightness, and the SFRD-AR15 gives you more options for different terrain and lighting conditions, so why not go with that one? Some people only need red I suppose, but I think the model with more flexibility makes sense. I've had the red/green for 2 years, and I have been very happy with it's performance.

I got the sightmark ghost hunter and it had the IR mounted with it. I like it a lot and it works real great.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

I've Heard it's a Little Loose, but Compensated with Foam Double Sided Tape, or Similar. I Have The Go Pro Without the +. You are not Restricted to Go Pro. With a Few Modifcations any Light POV Camera will Work. I just bought a Looksie 3 from Amazon. I Plan to have a Forward and Backward Looking Camera Set-Up. Looksie is Light Enough. Picture Tough, Not as Crisp. Experiment. There are Some Exceptional Little Cams Out This Year!

I believe that the $19.99 version is the 360 degree swivel version. It allows you to rotate the GoPro. The $12.99 version does not have the swivel.

Frank, thanks a million for your comparison review of the SR100 vs SR300. I am dissapointed in the low light video's of my SR100 and thought the SR300 would be better as the low light lux specs are better. After reading your review of the low indoor video quality of the SR300 I will stay with my SR100. I shoot mostly indoors so the quality of indoor video's are important to me. Dean M.

I bought the $20 bag of mounts & they're all mixed up. There's a couple of flat & curved stick ons that might work but GOPRO offers many optional mounts. Lens 3 settings narrow med & ultra wide. Looks fish-eye I'd guess about 150 degrees. Also, I got the bacPac a little pricey but now that I have It, couldn't do without .Gotta admit, this cam is a cool little sucker. Hope this helps. Derf

GoPro 3+ is awesome. Haven't had any issues with it and I love the picture.

yes, if you see all the clear led's around the camera lens, those do IR for viewing of short range. I do not own this but in other cameras I own the quality is decent for about 10-15 feet at night

SecureCam (SHARX) is being VERY conservative when they tell you the IR range in total darkness is 45 ft. It's more like 45 meters. I have a few of them and they light up object easily over 100 feet away. In fact the IR is so strong I disabled one of them. I use a small $5 IR LED panel which lets me illuminate off axis from the camera. This actually gives me a better image as the shadows help you distinguish more features.

Sorry Cindy, I can't answer that question as I have a 3. You might want to ask Amazon or even GoPro.

This is a great camera! Excellent picture, sharp, good color rendition and LOW noise @ night. BUT, I have learned that dome camera's cause bad reflective IR emitions at night. I have my IR turned off since I am not relying on it so much @ night. I recommend a bullet cam any day unless you need something more stealthy.

Amazon sent your question to me, but only they can tell you what model they're selling. I would recommend you buy something else. These do not operate well at all, miss videos, forward less than 1/2 of the photos to the remote and you can't get either phone or email support from them.l They seem to have a very arrogant attitude toward their customers. An indication of the poor reception of their cameras might be that this year they are up to a Tiny - W3, yup, they've gone all the way through several poorly functioning configurations already. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. I've tried over 12 different brands and models and these are some of the worse ones. I used 19 cameras this past season from June through currently, these never functioned properly from day 1. The only one that was worse performing was the Leupold RCX-2.

Yeah, we have some Speco cams that have invisible IR lights. So they are not visible at night. It seems the invisible IR lights are getting harder and harder to find these days.
