How do you de-activate the IR lights? It lights up like a Christmas Tree! This product fails in its mission to be stealthy.

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.

You can't. Thus the claim that this is a "hidden camera" is completely false.

It has nv mode all it does is dim the dot so its not over powering at night. It's not actually nv with ir.

My backup lights do not emit the amount of light at night to see. We were backing up the other night and nothing in the camera. I would advise the newer version with the IR lights.

I must apologize to you for jumping to the conclusion that you were a novice from your initial question. The main IR sensor on the extender is indeed sensitive, not just to the light from the Plasma, but it seems to be somewhat sensitive to other light sources as well. I had to make sure that there was no direct line of vision between any of the devices, the Plasma, the sun, the light in my room and even the attached blasters. Once I creatively figured that out (I put it in a shady area below the top of the console instead of on top of it), the extender worked fine. I hope this helps you.

No daylight flash, only IR, so you see nothing. The shutter is extremely quiet. I've walked around in front of the activated camera many times and can't hear anything. The biggest issue is hiding it, so humans don't spot it.

No. The IR LED panel will glow red. It doesn't illuminate the surroundings though since it is InfraRed (IR).. in other words you can see it but you have to be looking at it when it flashes or comes on for video. You won't see a burst of red light flashing in the woods or in your yard, etc... The only ones that are virtually non-detectable are called 'no-glo' IR cameras.... such as Bushnell MAX black trophy cam... the LED panel on the front of these cams will appear black in the pictures of the item. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm not using it until after Christmas because I have twinkling Christmas tree lights and you can't really tell the fake TV is on.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

The following is listed on the Foscam website. "The IR lights can be turned off manually from the software". I don't know if that means the night vision can stay on and the IR lights can be turned off at the same time.I hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, this product is only manually operated. I don't see a IR window on it and a remote isn't mentioned in the directions.

No reason these IR emitter extenders can't actually do what they are called: extend IR emission! I want to simply plug this into a component and be able to control it via the IR remote with a direct line-of-sight to the IR emitter extender end. Why must the signal first be converted to RF? That is stupid and competely unnecessary when the IR emitter extender can simple transmit the IR signal back to the component it's plugged into. Duh!

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.

I own the IR200 but not the IR110 or the IR130. The IR200 is awesome, it is like shining an invisible floodlight down my sidewalk....it lights up the whole area. There is no way to walk into the yard without being illuminated. If it ever malfunctions, I will probably buy another one. This is in stark contrast to the IR illumination thrown out by the IR LEDs that surround the IR camera I have there (which is wimpy at best).

No. I tried this and did not work, which makes sense because it uses IR sensor/signals. Sorry for the delay in responding.

They are infrared lights, you won't see them light up. They are on all the time the unit is powered.

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

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee
