I HAVE A 36 LED IR CAMERA WITH A SHARP CCD CHIP AND 420 LINES OF RESOLUTION. WHEN I VIEW THE CAMERA AT NIGHT THE IR LIGHT LOOKS LIKE A NARROW BEAM OF LIGHT SOMETHING LIKE A SPOT LIGHT / FLASLIGHT EFFECT. IT DOES NOT REALLY COVER A LARGE AREA DOES ALL IR CAMERAS LOOK LIKE THIS?

Thanks securitymonster for the info! I am looking to buy a Sony KC-740 day & Night security camera. It has 64 IR LEDs. The price for this camera is $147.00 this includes the power supply and bracket. Is this a good price for this camera? and does this camera have good IR coverage?
