Are the IR emitters visible at night?

Yes, The IR's are visible at night, the IR wavelength being 850nm. Not bright, just a dull glow as in all IR cameras with 850nm wavelength's. The night vision is very good, more like a floodlight effect. I have 2 and just ordered another one. I have 16+ cameras around my yard, this one sees the best. Hope this helps.Mike

Yes they are, I am very pleased with this camera, for the price and quality, you can't go wrong, trust me, I shopped around and compared different models and manufacturers, if I need another one I will purchase again without thinking it twice.

As with all IR lights I am aware of, there is a dull red glow if you look directly at the emitters at night. This camera has fantastic night vision.

Yes you can see the red glow. All IR emitters are visible If you are trying to make this a hidden camera they will be able to see the glow from the emitters. I must say dollar for dollar you will not find a better camera. It is my favorite camera and I am in the process of changing to exclusively this camera. I have cameras 3 times the price of this camera and not as good. Buy it you will be glad you did.

I agree completely with Francisco. I have three of these and the ir may be visible but the distance is well worth it. I also consider the glowing red lights intimidating and an added deterrent.

Yes, you can see them without illumination. I find it to be a decent scope for a decent price.

yes just night.... they have been up for over 6 months or so and they have been working fine. They throw off a significant amount of light. There are ways to keep them on all night or as long as you might need them when dark. Just involves flipping the switch off for 3 seconds.

Yes,and it's fairly bright on this model. Most of these don't have so much glow in the visible range of the spectrum, but it's normal for this one. Kind of a waste, really, since visible light is energy that is not as effective as InfraRed, as it should be, but still works Okay.

Yes, they can see in at night when the lights are on, but not very clearly. Cloudy days they cannot see in either.

The camera does not use infrared for night pictures. It uses the LED's across the top of the camera as a flash and the intensity of the flash can be set to 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or turned Off through the set up settings.

Yes, they are on all the time, but visible only in the dark. You will not be able to see their light during the daytime (indoors)

Almost all night vision IR lights emit a red glow when they are active and recording in the dark - that's just how they work. Without the IR lights, it wouldn't be able to record in the dark. You can cover them up with black electrical tape if you didn't want to use the night vision function, but then you'd be better off just buying a non-night-vision camera in the first place and saving some money.

No. There are two LEDs that can be turned on but they reflect off the glass. The exposure setting can be boosted +2 so night scenes are brighter but day time is not too bright.

Looks like its designed to imitate infrared emitters. These are used to enhance nightvision in cameras, and you can definitely see it in cameras that have it. The brighter the light, the more the camera can see in pitch dark.

The LED's are infrared and cannot be seen in our visible light spectrum. IR (infrared) LED's are similar to those on a TV's remote control and can only be seen through infrared-visible devices. So, not being able to see the LED's is normal.

From the description:"The infrared (IR) LEDs on the color ADS-180 cameras activate automatically when it is dark or in low light to provide black & white night vision up to 33ft/10m away."

Most consumer IR cameras aren't made to protect Area 51 ...so they emit a faint red glow from the IR blasters. But if you're looking to get all James Bond up at your house...look for "940nm wavelength IR cameras" they are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Yes it as IR LEDs that let you see at night. I don't think it has very good color, but it's OK. Sorry I took so long.

i did not know you could that. it is automatic, the ir lens is what sees at night. infrared light is what sees.

If it's a tritium sight you should be able to see it in the dark. That' why their called"night sights". They may be old. The radioactive element lasts about 10 years and .may be dead. I would send them back

The color changes to a amber hue during the dusk and dawn hours but the object remain clearly visible. They have a good range in total darkness with the IR on. It has worked well for me.
