Does this camera work with an external IR illuminator?

No, it's not IR sensitive. It does work well with low visible light, but not IR.

No, these can only be used with camera's that are capable of picking up Infrared light. Cameras that are marketed for night surveillance for example. With some rare exception all consumer digital cameras, including those in a cell phone have an 'IR Filter' used to specifically block out this type of light as it can create less than desirable image color. In many dSLR cameras there is a a very advanced procedure to manually remove this, but doing so should only be done by experienced people who have a very specific reason to. The light ring LEDs here can also be used with some small SBC (Single Board Computer) add on cameras that come without an IR Filter, some as the NoIR camera for the Raspberry Pi. These small cameras intentionally done have the IR Filter and with IR Lights like these LEDS can be used for 'night vision'. There are also some low cost cameras like the infragram from infragram.org which is part of a larger public/community research site publiclab.org that do some really cool stuff inf interested. They are used for daytime photography but are designed to pick up near infrared for use with certain types of photography and research. I would image you could use these LEDs lights to get night vision pictures at a low cost. As i recall, the publiclab.org website also describes how to remove the IR Filter from cheap USB Web cams, in much the same way they are removed from dSLR cameras, except its easier and you are only messing with a $30-40 web cam not a $1000-$5000 dSLR. Anyways, these LEDs are not really the best quality, be sure to read my review on them i had a lot of issues with the LEDs starting to burn out after just a few hours or a couple days use. maybe try lower voltages or something, or look for better quality. Here is my review for reference:

I checked gopro, found out it do not carry IR sensitive len. You need to replace Len to make it work. If you change len with IR sensitive, IR Illuminator should be work for it. Thanks

The camera has to be infra red capable, or it will not work at night. You can set it up daytime, but you will have to check at night to see if the light is in the correct place.

when u use a ir illuminator on bell and howell camcorder built in infrared can u see more clearly to get around it the dark

No the infrared led flash takes black and white pictures at night. For color pictures you need a regular flash camera.

No it does not. there is a IR port that i'm assuming is for a "infrared" remote to be connected to it

No, it doesn't. Neither have manual IR nightvision ( my older handycam has it).

For the price yes. Just like all the others you will need external ir lights. I've used it on couple cases, inside, and it worked great. Outside not so good.

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.

No, not IR only. You can test the camera shots in IR. You can set it up for motion, which will capture IR or daylight.

Not unless you have it worked on, costly, and you will have an IR camera.You can buy IR filters as I did. Works pretty well.

The camera came with a small CD that is entitled "Airsight IP camera resource CD XX40A". I hope that helps. I have 2 and they work fine!

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.

Correct. There is no self contained IR illuminator. Any illuminator placed inside the dome would reflect on the interior surface of the dome result in a massive reflection. I don't know if there is an IR filter that would prevent it from working with an external IR source. Apexis does/did make a version that had external IR illuminators, but not this one.

I am not sure if I understand your question, but I recently used this camera for a project to track IR leds. Most cameras have an IR filter built in but this camera either does not have a filter or the filter is not very good. Because of this I was able to get a good response in the IR band and it worked perfectly for my application.

Yes, it has IR mode under camera settings just use that and your good that's my camera
