SONY IP Cameras and IR (INFRARED) light

[jacan 0]

Hi, I've posted this before in other subforum, with no response. Let's see if there's more luck here:

 

 

I want to Know if a NON day-night camera like SONY SNC-CS3 is able to catch IR light or not. I have a set of IR lamps installed and I'd like to use them, but I'm instaling SNC-CS3 cameras, that is always COLOR mode with 0,5 lux sensibility,but it hasn't day-night mode like SNC-Z20.

 

Would it be any difference if i turn my IR lamps on at night? or I look for the next recicle bin to drop my IR lamps??

 

Thanks in advance.

Rds.

Not unless the camera specs say otherwise. Generally, no it wont.

before tossing the lamps try using a IR lens. This though the camera does not have an IR Cut filter it will truly help with the picture

If you're talking about an Infra Red 'corrected' lens, then that will not have any effect on a cameras sensitivity to Infra Red light.
