I have a DLINK (DCS-933L) and I'm told by Dlink it uses 850nm IR LEDs. This camera is mounted inside and looking outside thru a window. I've blocked the integrated LEDs as they reflect into the window and yield an non-viewable image at night. With the IR130 mounted outside, will it provide compatible light for this camera with enough light to illuminate an area 50 feet away?

I used the IR Spot Light at our compound in Afghanistan, our CoHo PTZ Camera was a Quality Day/Night, but Lockheed Martin did not provide us an IR Illuminator. This lit up our Small compound about 180 Ft X 250 Ft that was not attached to the Marine Base. The Marines with Night Vision said it lit the Area clear as Day. Extreme Heat 120 Degrees F, for over most of the day can temporally disable IR Illuminator, I was going to build a Shield Hood for it.

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.

Hello,The CMVision also provides infrared light in the 850 nm range. While I was using the device, it easily illuminated to 50 feet and beyond. Unfortunately, I had to return it since the LED's stopped working. The device definitely has the 50 feet range though.Good luck

While camera is advertised to have IR LEDs, my didn't, but if you are wiring it to auto back up lights I don't see IR LEDs are needed. It has more than adequate sensitivity to show area illuminated by the backup lights. It worked far better than a camera I replaced with IR LEDs.

Mr Fog.Going through the menu list of the DCS-SR, I'm not seeing that the "nightshot" is a feature that the Camera has in the shooting set category.So I think you're asking making movie,or taking picture in total darkness.The Camera has his own led video light,but it does not cover a large area in total darkness, so i bought a Sony battery Video light to connect on the camera,specialy for DCR-SR68.If you have the book which came with the camera when you bought it, you will find all the accessories for the DCR-SR68.hope i've been helpful Regards

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:

The retail packaging the LED130 comes in says in large letters up to 250 Lumens.The other reviewer may have had a typo on their Lumens. Since the 250 Lumens rating is printed multiple times on the box, I don't know why Amazon doesn't have it in the specs, even the Cooper website detailed specs do not list the lumens rating. All lighting products should list this in order to compare products. This is a very bright usable light, unlike some/many LED products.

This is kind of "geeky" but it's why the red LED is used for the Flashflight discs; the red LED light is being emitted at 630nm WaveLength. It is closer to the the Infrared Night Vision range on the WaveLength scale. The red light will have the least impact on your vision in the dark. Meaning you can look directly at the Flashflight disc and then look away and your eyes will balance/correct back to your night vision faster and easier.

It didn't work for me. I tried using it with a Dahua camera that I also got on Amazon. In the end what worked in that case was a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter. That is 802.3af compliant as is the Dahua camera. If your camera supports 802.3af I would go with that.

As per description: "Only sensitive with Sony or Sharp CCD Camera and lots of IP CMOS camera do not work with 850nm wavelength.". You would have to check what the wavelength is that's supported by your camcorder. I did a quick google search and found - http://www.kaya-optics.com/technology/why_sony_nightshot.asp which seems to imply that it is compatible. For the price I'd say you could give it a try, and return if it doesn't. Note that this requires an external 12V power source (ie not really mobile). Maybe you'd be better off with this item - http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Hunting-Equipment-Illuminator-NightShot/dp/B00JCNVJ60/

Dale, I own another brand but the infrared cameras do not flash visible light(infrared wavelength 'flash' is outside human eye perception). There is a red glow on the IR LEDs when the camera is triggered. It's not bright, but it is visible if you're looking at it. If you position your cams right, nobody knows http://www.gizmology.net/LEDs.htm will tell you more than you want to know about IR emitters

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.

I have not used those cameras. Looking up the manufacturer specs, they provide nothing about the optics. This IR device is 850nm only.CMVision now makes a device that is dual wavelength. The CMVision IRS324-850940 Combo 850nm & 940nm Wavelength. If one wavelength does not work the other will. The only major concern is if the CCD imaging device is of such poor quality that it dos not work well with these devices all. If you want to save money, buy a single 850nm and 940nm LED from an electronics supplier for a very low cost. Put a battery on them and see in a monitor if the camera sees the lit LED.

LEDs tend not to mind the extra voltage, but you will generate more heat. I know of one student who's IR light failed to operate when he tried the higher voltage batteries....but it did operate with CR123. Frankly the Super Tac IR is a good IR light, and does all you are going to need it to on regular 123's. I wouldn't push the added voltage....as it may damage the piece? In this one case the attempt did not.....hardly conclusive, but thats what I can tell you.

Buy the DCS-932L, I have 4 of these installed at my house. DLink has an iPhone and iPad app they will allow you to view cameras remotely one at a time. There is an App called "Viewer for Axis Cams" by EyeSpyFx. This App is available for iPhone and iPad. It is $4.99, and will allow you to view up to 6 DLink Cameras at once.

The camera light sensitivity is very good and in anything other than complete darkness, the image will be viewable. Be sure to change the camera from color/color to color/BW so you get better night time images. If you want to use an IR illuminator (many can be purchased cheaply) then the camera will be able to see the IR illuminated images. Why did the camera not come with IR illumination? Because it's a PTZ and illuminating isotropically is not practical. It can't be on the camera since the dome would reflect the IR back to the lens and you wouldn't see anything beyond the dome glare. It's not an oversight. If you need IR illumination, just add it in the locations you are interested in viewing. Very simple to do and much more effective than a far-souce IR illuminator.

The LED lights turn a dim red at night when the camera is on. They are difficult to see and not very bright. I have not reviewed the instructions to see if there is a day only option. I have mine setup to turn on when the vehicle starts and turn off when the vehicle turns off. The LED on most infra red cameras do the same thing, I install them for a living..

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.
