IR Response of Samsung SDE-4001 Cameras

[timsa 0]

I have one of the low cost SAMSUNG SDE-4001, 8 camera setups you can get from SAM's Club. It's working well enough but I need more IR range for my driveway. The IR illuminator in the camera only lights out to about 20 feet or so and I need about 80. I purchased an IR24, 150' IR illuminator from Supercircuits.

 

I can see the red glow from the IR24 so I know it's working but the camera does not see the IR light from it. I'm assuming the IR illuminator frequency of the IR24 and camera IR frequency response are mismatched. Another note is that I can NOT see the IR from the illuminator which is in the camera (which indicates it's at a different, lower IR frequency).

 

Can anyone recommend an IR illuminator that will work with the cameras provided with the SDE-4001?

 

Does anyone know which IR frequency these cameras respond to?

 

Thanks for any help.
