Is the included ATN 450mW IR illuminator visible when on (red glow)? No IR wavelength specifications posted anywhere. Thanks!

Yes. It is visible, however it doesn't seem to upset or startle critters even though they can see the dim red spot. I measured the wavelength at work with our spectrometer. Center wavelength was measured at around 840nm with about a 100nm bandwith. If you can find a 940nm emitter (flashlight or flood light), it's completely non-visible. I have a 940 IR floodlight I attach to a 12volt 7.2 amp hour battery that lasts roughly 8 hours for me. Hope this helps!

No it is infrared so only if you are looking at the camera will you even see the red lights glow but not noticeably. We have used it very successfully for several months now and it helped us catch a raccoon visiting our back porch nightly!! He never looked at the camera even when it was taking his picture!

If you read the insert that came with your unit, it says the RED light will only have 15 visible lights (snowflake pattern) visible. The other 18 are infrared, which cannot be seen.

As others i do not know the intensity of the near infrared emitted or the unit of measurement used. I ordered the large body pad and ali of the red and blue LED light. The near infrared emitting LED do not light. I bought the system to ameliorate the symptoms and muscle spasms of restless leg syndrome. It has certainly done that!

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.

Sorry for responding late, but I did not have the lamp at immediate reach. Now, I verified it, and you are right. Mine is not working, either. I refer to center LED labeled #58, with the tag 730, which does not turn at all when all the rest do. Somebody could say that 730 (nm, I suppose) is beyond the range of human visión, but I guess that at least a dim red light glow should be emitted. Regards. Alvaro.

I went to streamlight's web site and peak output for IR LED is 880nm at peak or high setting. You can probably quater that for each of the settings from dimmist to brightest. Go to their website for a spec sheet, hope this helps...

With regular IR there is a red glow that is visible to humans and I suppose animals. But that should not be the case with a no-glow camera. They should not be able to detect it

Yes, the IR led glows red as soon as it is dark. I own several Hikvision cameras and the night view is superb on this camera.

I couldn't find any specs for the camera but I have some IR LEDs so I did a test and they all were detectable by the camera. The deepest IR LED used was 940 nM.

Hello, I bought a light source that looks exactly like the one pictured here. So, it is probably what you are researching. I have been told that my cameras need 820 to 850 nm, but when I hooked up the ir light, there was no illumination at night. If I turned the light directly to the camera about 8 feet away, the front panel of the light was white, but it didn't illuminate anything when turned away, I mean nothing. What a dissapointment. I don't know what else I can try. The ring of ir lights that are inside the glass dome around my cameras are useless, if I turn on those lights, the glare from the glass dome is way to bright to see much of anything.Good luck, Dan Hello, I bought a light source that looks exactly like the one pictured here.

Yes it is, but like some of the other reviews I have found this illuminator will not come one when the temperature dips and not even dramatically low temps. It seems like anything below 40 causes this unit to fail to come on and for that reason we have abandoned it.

Hello w6zrd, we actually ordered the 940nm in error and returned it before ever using it. We have the 850nm lights and I do not see a red glow. So, I cannot comment on the 940nm lights.

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.

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.

Sorry No. The 4 IR LEDs are at the corners of the lens. They are not very bright, a dim dull red color. If you hold your hand close to the lens it does have a effect, illuminating objects in total darkness only up to a foot away. They are no help when recording at night. I tried everything through the menu to turn them off with no luck, my solution was black electrical tape over the four LEDs

Sorry, don't know, not up on the technology. But I think it is in the specs for the illuminator. It is visible if you are in direct line, but it doesn't bother some animals.
