two89w 0 Posted July 22, 2012 I have an external dome camera that has 860nm on board ir. it can be turned off if required. Is there anyway to know if my camera will be able to use the invisible to the eye 940nm ir? I dont want to buy one to find out it won't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

two89w 0 Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks i will stick with 860. Has any tried one of those chinese ebay illuminators with the 96 leds with an 80m range? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick with the 840nm IR LEDs. 940nm are available, but it will reduce the night vision range (IR range) to about 1/3 or 1/4 of 840nm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
