sueum 0 Posted July 10, 2010 Hi I asked a question some where else but I might have put it in the wrong place, Can I use an illumination LED light to light up my garden at night so that my existing cctv can record in the dark please? One more thing, I tried to put an Avatar on but I don’t know how to reduce it to the proper size, can you help with that too please? sueum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted July 10, 2010 IR LEDs and LEDs are commonly thought of as 2 different things. IR LEDs project infrared light, mostly invisible to the human eye. If your camera switches to black and white at night, chances are it is capable of seeing this type of light. This is how "night vision" works. Normal LEDs like white ones are visible to the human eye. These will work with any camera. You can resize your Avatar in picture editing programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sueum 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Thank you, By white light do you mean like a light bulb and halogen? My CCTV is black and white only but has given pictures good enough for Court prosecutions so I stick with it My question is please:- Will 48 LEDs give plenty of light at night in my garden please? I still can’t attach my avatar sueum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Yes. White light can also be halogen. It's almost any normal light that you can see with your own eyes. The number of LEDs has almost nothing to do with the intensity or brightness. I have a Surefire LED flashlight that has one LED bulb but its brighter than some piece of crap 50 LED thing a buddy has. What are the dementions of the area you are trying to light up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
