Black IR LED - Doubt

Recommended Posts

Hi, i would like to known if anyone can help me in the following doubt. I have seen that there are various topics regarding IR cameras but i think that this question has not yet been asked.

I have seen a camera with "black IR LED lamps", whats the diference between this black IR and the comon transparent ones?

 

Thanks in advance.

Typical "cheap" IR cameras use LEDs that produce IR just on the edge of human vision, so they still produce a faint visible red glow. Your "black" LEDs use a longer wavelength, further from what our eyes can see, so the glow is not visible.
